    Maybe James should encourage him before the FIRST one. LOL

    One thing I also noticed: Danuel House usually starts out hot but disappears in the second half of games, especially in the 4th quarter when the team needs big shots. Something to pay attention to.

    McLemore was the difference as well as PJ and our bench guys hitting threes. Good effort, though we really, really, really need to clean up our transition defense. That was the only reason they were in it at all.

    Well, he still had the flu tonight, so I'm pretty sure he was gassed by tipoff.

    HOU should have won that game by 25, if not for the officiating desperately trying to keep TOR in the game

    harden had a masterful floorgame and we saw just how uber efficient he can be when he doesn't have to be the engine for the offense every single possession

    Just finished watching the game, that was a hell of a ride. The fouls towards the end of the game was interesting, but Hardens defense was amazing and the ball movement was superb by everybody.

    Broadcasters said House was still sick and surprised he even played against the raptors.

    You want to pay attention to something? Pay attention to the 3rd qtr officiating when we come out with a lead after halftime.

    That's it. Plus 11 more boards for Houston. At least WB rebounds a lot better than he shoots. His shots outside the lane were galactically bad: 0/6 from 3, but also another 2-8 for 2pt shots outside the lane. 2-14 is a lot of blown possessions.

    In short though, the game was won, as Pop was famously complaining it so often is, because one team took 16 more 3s than the other, and shot them at 40 percent vs 30 percent for the losers. Which means non-WB shooters hit 3s at a 44.9 percent clip. If we want to bet that Mac has turned the corner and 8-17 from 3 is now the new normal, OK I guess. Doesn't look sustainable to me. But then again, it's not like every other team can muffle Harden's offense the way the 'Barneys' did.

    Great win.
