    Raptors will go cold eventually. Rockets just need to hang in there and weather the storm.

    Once again...this isn't actually true. Rockets have been one of the fastest teams in pace in the league from the jump, with Harden playing a vast majority of the minutes. I'm not going to sit here and say Harden's playing well so far, but your pace theory isn't true. Maybe a few times a game this happens, but hardly as much as you like to make it out to be.

    Even though we're shooting FT....

    How can they deem that going up and shooting?

    Uhhh no... The sky is falling. Dont you know that 75% shooting is sustainable? According to clutchfans at the moment at least.

    There is no defense played. Raptors scoring at will

    The ROckets play a slower pace with Harden on the court. It's part of the reason for their slow start.

    Every Brewer 3 remains a turnover.

    They're making ****ing everything. Unreal. The defense isn't even bad.

    Yes, but you can't spot them too big a lead.

    Law of averages says Brewer has to eventually hit a 3. This is getting ridiculous.

    I don't understand why it necessary for people to just dog the snot outta the team at this point in the game and season. 30+ minutes of ball left to play. Jesus.

    I've come to the conclusion that b2b games are actually beneficial. Every team we face on b2b shoots better than usual. Even we are like that sometimes.

    Every time I think this during a game... that team never cools off. Utah... Memphis... Toronto before....

    How come people never make Kyle Lowry go right?

    He likes shooting fading left.

    Make him go right so you limit him to driving...

    Terrence Ross would easily be our 2nd or 3rd best player and yet he is probably the 2nd guy off the bench for the raptors
