Yikes, some Raptors fans are directing some horrible racist hate towards Siakam right now:

Markieff Morris is a starter for the Lakers. We can beat that team.

It's just a vs Rockets adjustment I think. Credit to Markieff though, he's been playing well.

I do think we can take the Lakers though if we have everyone fit.

Bill Russell went through worse while winning us 11 championships in 13 years and being the true GOAT. Sometimes humanity just needs a big whap over the head to get it to see straight.

Houston has quit. At least Denver put up a fight. Harden so overrated

I feel like this celtics team can steal a chip before they are truly ready.

Rockets are toast. I wonder what changes they'll be making in the offseason. Expecting shakeups with Bucks, Raps, Sixers, and Rockets after their early playoff exits.

Harden with only 3 FTs in 32 minutes on the floor. Unfair treatment by the refs, not giving him what's his.

Is this the farthest he's ever made it as the leader of the Rockets? It must suck having to watch Harden defend your team's colours.

He’s thinking of the strip clubs already.

Surely he demands out this offseason?

You know, all season long, I was constantly baffled about how a team relying so much on the likes of PJ Tucker, Jeff Green, Austin Rivers, and Ben McLemore could be so good. Houston's roster just felt like a collection of journeymen and castoffs. Really made me start to question what I thought I knew about team building.

Seeing them get summarily dismissed like this is giving me a bit of relief.

I wish there was a "Harden Cam" following him around when the other team attacks. Watching him "defend" has been quite the fun experience. He's avoiding contact at all costs, sometimes barely even moving his hands.

It's two things. One is that the West is overrated this season, nowhere near what is has been for the last decade. Two is that you can get away with those four during the regular season. Not now.

I feel like gifting us Covington should be on the list... HOU could start the offseason with a nice combination of good Karma & Kanter. Win win.

Gonna give the benefit of the doubt that those may very well not be Raptors fans, just like almost none of the IPs associated with the racist stuff directed at PK Subban came from New England.

There's a segment of people out there just waiting for opportunities to do stuff like this, any target they can find.

I definitely agree overall. But, I also wonder how hurt Russ is. He hasn't looked the same to me. Those guys only work if Harden & Russ are both at superstar level and handing them open 3s on plates. I haven't watched a ton, but from what I've seen Russ wasn't there.

I was just thinkin about this. In the impending firesale to come I would love to liberate that team of Robert Covington and/or Eric Gordon.
