Anyone notice Casey has been trying Demar out with the Cojo,Ross,2Pat and Biyombo lineup recently. It's just not as effective a group with Demar in that lineup.

Pretty devastating loss to be honest. Blowing an 18 point lead to a struggling team on the tail end of a back to back on our home court to boot. This team needs to figure things out before the playoffs because this regular season success will mean jack squat if they play like this come April.

We're the 7th worst defensive team since February 1st

First the Rockets just made timely shots, then the Raptors stopped playing defense. Not a good sign. And there were points in the game where one coach was badly outclassed by the other. JB in the beginning, Casey in the end. Rockets looked predictable and the Raps practically guessed every move they were going to make, then in typical Casey fashion he does not adjust.

Houston goes big so in return the Raps go small and blow their lead.

Scola 20 points in 20 minutes, best +/- on the team yet saw no time in the fourth. SMH. James Johnson deserved some more run over T-Ross the chucker.

Got lured into a lazy, no-defense game by the Rockets. Except the Rockets stopped playing that game in the 2nd half and the Raptors weren't ready for it.

Guys shld quit blaming Lowry. He has saved our asses several times this season and this game got away from us late in the 3rd when DD and Cojo took turns pounding the ball.

JJ committed way too many costly stupid fouls. I felt Powell should have taken more of his minutes.

Guys relax we have the 5th best record!

- Can't guard the 3
- Defense getting worse
- You know 2Pat and Ross will disappear in the playoffs
- Lowry will go 1/2 on all clutch free throws
- DD will struggle, will try to shoot himself out of it with ugly results
- Despite the stats, as a Rap fan you know our offense will dry up in clutch situations

We lose in the first round if we face the Hornets/Bulls/Wizards, probably alright otherwise.

personally..when the Rockets came back with a lineup of Beverly/Ariza/Harden/Brewer/Howard...the Raps should have countered with Lowry/DeMar/Ross/James Johnson/JV....I have no idea why Joseph and Patterson were out there...they weren't spreading the floor, Patterson was getting schooled by Brewer, and Joseph was his usual, passive self on the offensive end virtually being a black hole out there. This loss is on Casey...nobody else...what lazy coaching.

Not enough shooting from the backcourt in this lineup. Plus Ross was ice cold, so that's one less shooter out there too. Looks like Casey's experimenting with possible lineups for the playoffs, and hopefully this rules this lineup out.

Thanks RaptorsFTL.

RealGM posters are "crazy" because we are concerned about giving up big leads. It's reality not negativity.

Our poor defense did. Very poor communication tonight. Needs to be addressed before the playoffs start. Carroll better be healthy and ready to go, or I see a 1st round exit in the horizon.

I'm scared fam..
