Once Harden turns the corner on pick and rolls, it's over. Pick your poison.

Give up a Harden lay-up. Foul Harden and concede 2 FT points more often than not. Big man steps to Harden leaving a Capela alley-oop. If any extra help comes over, kick it out to the open 3 pt shooter.

But that's a D'Antoni offense for you. Simple yet potent. They can play the half court game and they can play typical D'Antoni fast break when required.

Rockets aren't actually a crazy ball moving team...they're actually the Raptors ISO teams of the past yet perfected. They got that formula right, because the surrounding pieces are better and the two stars are better playmakers.

yeah they were literally running the same play and it got me so frustrated, and it helps as well that harden is great at drawing fouls and great at finishing

Meanwhile Cavs got clapped. Watch all the "analysts" say they had Toronto as the favorite all along on Monday.

Good game raps. Good luck to y’all in the playoffs. Hopefully we can do this in June.

Raptors franchise started in 94, but I had to put my home team standom on hold for two years to watch my Muslim hero Hakeem win back to back

Got love for the Rockets, I'm rooting for yall out west

T.O.
and it need to be stated Kyle Lowry dominated Chris Paul head to head...Hes owned CP in head to head games last 4 years...

The Lowry disrespect is too much,hes still better than Wall and his scoring is down cuz of usage,his impact in big games is still huge...
