    Then they will flame out in the 1st or 2nd round in the playoffs. As usual.

    If he won't, then the team isn't beating playoff teams in a 7 game series with WB shooting 27 times, below 30 percent. They can't afford to give up that many possessions. The difference between his shooting and typical guard shooting from the field, is anywhere from 2 to 6 FG. They can't give up that many points to good teams and expect to win.

    the rockets are now a good rebounding team after being the worst last year. OKC was one of best rebounding teams last year, and now one of the worst.

    what dumb logic to say they were "easy" rebounds and if he didnt get them another rocket would hyuk hyuk.

    Who judges rebounding like this? You know he's a guard, right?

    He had more rebounds than any Toronto player...that is INCLUDING their bigs...you know Siakam and Gasol and Ibaka?

    Why would you assume otherwise? I mean i saw plenty Tuck/House/JH/Cap could’ve gotten that he just snatched.

    The worst rebounding team will get a defensive rebound 74 percent of the time.... His rebounding on defense is overrated and practically irrelevant.

    However 5 offensive is amazing. Without a doubt.

    But hey...










    He sucks......



    ...



    And we all know it.

    Yes, Westbrook is struggling right now. But Westbrook has always been a "surging" 2nd half of the season player. I'm not going to start worrying about Westbrook current struggles right now. I think he will adjust and be the Westbrook we "despised" when he played against us the last few seasons...then I will :D LOVE :D him as a Rocket.

    I’m surprised there’s so much negativity after one of the better wins of this young season? I get that there’s some carry-over from that disgusting loss to the Spurs, but this Raptors team is no slouch and we beat them at home!

    I understand that criticism =/= negativity but usually after we beat a good team the vibes are better...so GO F*CKIN ROX WE JUST BEAT THE BARNEYS

    We are also now 4th in rebounding...last year we were 28th...

    I wonder if a guy that grabs nearly 8 rebounds per game helps with that improvement or not...

    Gasol, Ibaka, and Siakam have sucked as rebounders for years at their positions. Shutuppp. You have a lot of energy and not a lot of senseZ

    I like when the team finds different ways to win, using defense & rebounds or in this game having role players step up. Ugly wins are still wins and you need them, good job.

    I would like to see a full package and game plan just for Harden doubles from the team. As well as one if threes aren't falling.

    I think Gordon would really help because when healthy he is deadly at hitting threes off Harden double teams but also can create his own shot and pass.

    We need a plan A, B and C for these scenarios because teams will game plan and spam them come playoff time.
