I hate you, Lowry.

Just kidding, still love you.

Screw you though.

I’m not very concerned yet.

Houston is playing poorly and Toronto is playing like it’s game seven.

Now I have to go entertain some non-basketball fans for a bit. I hope I get back for the second half.

Anyone else from Toronto who feels like trolling: don’t worry, I’ll get to you when I get back.

Good start to the game. I like the strategy of missing as many shots/FT's as possible while playing piss poor defense against a damn good Raptors team at home.

It's bold, a little crazy, but it just might work.

What are we doing with no big man out there? Getting killed with the 2nd chance opportunities.

Harden killing the Raptors. Still could use some help from the other guys though.

This is a game where we could have used another big man (AKA Ryan Anderson) to prevent giving up 2nd chance opportunities. We really lacked size, but Harden's offense kept the game close. Great effort in the 2nd half.

Raps are legit, but it still baffles me how much complaining there is on the GB forum.

Appreciate the balanced perspective. Hopefully, each team will take care of business in the playoffs and meet again.

It was a statement game for the Raptors.
