    No, the real reason we won was that Toronto didn't care. According to Shaq.

    Dont forget the WHY and HOW of "Rockets are sitting at .609 and 3rd Seed".

    This thread honors them.

    Lowry was more to blame for Toronto's loss than Lin.

    They looked like they cared in the second half and harden punched them into another galaxy in the fourth

    We’re in the 3rd seed? Nice!

    That Lin turnover right before halftime was a nice reminder.

    Do not be fooled.

    He has a history of using his hairstyles to distract the defenders away from his horrendous basketball skills.

    It's so nice to be on the other side of that Lin fail for a change.

    Do you all think he makes the playoff roster? How epic would it be if he got cut on the final day

    It was sad to see that he still gets no respect by the officials.

    Anyways I think Lowry had a bigger contribution to their loss than anyone. 4/16 shooting and 5 TO's, he was absolutely abysmal.

    The Rockets are 12-2 this year when Green hits 4 or more 3s in a game

    Lol why should a scrub get respect? A superstar like harden was getting mauled and the refs refused to call a foul so why should avscrub who will be playing in China soon get respect?

    I was surprised that Craig Ackerman and Matt Bullard said on the air that the Raptors fans behind them were yelling for Nick Nurse to take Jeremy Lin out of the game after this play.



    He's off to a horrible start in Toronto. He's 0-17 from three-point range. I think he'll get it together but he needs to soon before Fred VanVleet gets back or he'll be out of the rotation.

    Just as some dinosaurs survived the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction, a few remnants continue to hold on. Continuing with the dinosaur analogy, I think they're mostly Raptors now though.

    While I love Jeremy Lin's story, and I think he's a genuinely nice guy, he can really kill a team's momentum with brain-farts and bad decisions (as we know all too well). I understand that Asian fans do hope for a great asian NBA player so that we can have some representation, but I don't think pointless zealotry is going to make that happen. Rui Hachimura though...that guy looks good!

    We needs some ZoFs or WoFs on this site too, for the sake of balance.
