    They are sending a message to the Rockets plain and simple. And they have a very good chance of beating the Rockets if they meet each other in the Finals.

    I really wish we had younger players to just hustle and run.

    We feel rather old watching this game. Their bench are all young guys just non stop runnjng at you

    Honestly, we can come back. Harden played great in the 2nd quarter, and he's got to keep it up. At times he is forcing the lob when he has a wide open layup or at most 2-3 foot floater. He needs to take those. I think we're fine, and we just need to start the 3rd quarter strong.

    1 of 9 from 3PT.

    This will change in the 2nd half. Law of averages.

    To be honest...to be only down by 15 is not bad. This is the worst first half of the season and only down 15. Toronto is ballin?...they only have 58 points...We will win this game

    Rockets were 1-9 from 3 in the 1st half...that has to be a season low for makes and attempts in a half

    Toronto took away the 3 and made it hard to score in the paint, credit to them

    feels like we're down by 25.

    Not too bad, considering that was the worst first half of Rockets basketball that I've seen in a LONG time...

    Lmao, Raptors fans saying 'Ohhhhh,' thinking that Derozan just shook Harden. Then Harden just blocks his shot right after.

    Considering how terrible we’ve played this score isn’t too bad. I think we take this one.
