Haven't watched much Raptor basketball, but I wasn't impressed with 'em (outside of DeMar and local fan favorite Corey Joseph) when SA played them.

Rockets for some reason just struggle against them, and they've started really slow recently. They really need to get off to a good start, and if that happens I'll feel better about this game.

Slow start in a way, not looking good for the Rockets, unless Toronto starts to slow down.

Feels like Rockets start slow in a lot of games.

Until about 5 games ago they led the league in average points in the first quarter with 31.5 or something like that.

rockets 2h have been a pretty reliable bet in those games so far this year.

I loved that they were down by 8 at half vs orlando on friday, made it ann easy bet at -5.5.

Rockets still seem really sluggish. I think teams are figuring out how to defend against the 3. Just seems like we're taking a lot less 3s.

Exactly why I think the Rockets will slump back to earth eventually. One injury and a few games like this....

NO EXCUSE. They need a better plan to get shots than just Harden fricking ISO, its really frustrating watching hard stand there until he decides to drive and dish.

raptors are something like the second or third most efficient offence in NBA history. On a 62 win pace. Ain't nothing to complain about IMO.

If the Rockets consider themselves a top 4 team, this game should be theirs, but its just another sign that they're still missing something. Maybe Toronto will get tired as the game goes on.

Toronto is a top 5 team in their own right. Nothing wrong w losing a game on the road to a team like toronto. HOU is undoubtedly top 5 too.

Its not this game, its the last several, its the slow starts, the fact that we've been down after the 1st quarter 4 games in a row. I just don't like seeing a slide. Harden has been shooting under 35% the last 4 games, and less than 20% from 3 the last 4 games.

We will see. Could be a Capela effect.
