    Raptors lack of size inside helping us a lot. Refs kinda evened it out there, called a lot Rockets way early then flipped it 2Q.

    If Curry was defended like Green is defending Harden he’d need his wife to come in and defend him.

    It is the ZaZa And Bruce Bowen Rule .. . . . Think of the HALO Rule in football
    You *HAVE* to give the jump shooter landing space
    Kawhi is a prime example

    Harden needs 17 for 30. I look for him to be far more aggressive looking for his O if the game stays close. I honestly think Rivers should take the ball up the court some more and give it to Jimmy. He's using so much energy being pressed taking it to get a cross the court.

    Tired legs become woke!!!

    3's are not falling yet, looking good for the second half.

    Lol the fans are turning into MDA lol. Doesnt matter how much we score if the other team scores more (I know they havent here but stop focusing on how many points we have). Saying we have a 9 point lead (down from 21) is better than saying "I'll take 70" who cares. We could win 50-30 for all I care and I'll take that any day over 140-138

    Yeah I know. But he keeps his hands up which gives the illusion of defense. He got that from San Antonio.

    Harden needs to wake up in 2nd half.

    Any game is not easy for us.

    I'm shocked MDA made the right decision and played nene tonight .

    But expecting him to improvise at this point is unrealistic

    Tomorrow's headlines will read, "raptors with the secret formula to stop harden" if he doesn't score 30 tonight even we win .
