The ESPN guys were loving the Raps, especially DD and Lowry.
Ridiculous what they allowed Griffin to get away with. Constantly just bodychecking Raps in the O-zone. The ESPN guys were speechless a couple fo times. How do you defend that? It's either just let him forearm you out of the way or stand your ground and they call a foul on the defender.
FVV with the game winner! Walked away after like he's done it 100 times before. Fred doing Fred things....watched it for 4 years at Wichita State. Kid's a winner.

Awesome win by the Raptors tonight. Harden's amazing and Raptors were missing probably their two best defenders to throw at him, but they played solid defense overall, as much as you can against Houston.

Harden is scary... I didn't even think the Raps played him that bad. Knows the art of initiating contact and hit some incredibly tough shots. Not much more you can do, but he still dropped 40.
I'd still be inclined to give the Rockets the edge; both teams now have similar records over their last 15 with Raptors winning head-to-head, but Rockets had a higher overall level of opposition during their streak. Still two great teams right now. Tankathon aside, there's going to be some great races through the last month, with 3-8 in the East within 3.5 games, and 3-10 in the West in a similar clump. Utah has won 18 of their last 20, and not moved up in the standings at all.
The Nets are terrible, and D'Angelo Russell has seven three-pointers after the first quarter, so they should just let him go full 2K18 and just let him try for 20 threes in a game.

Impressive road W, overcoming crappy reffing and winning the game primarily with defense. And with that win, the Raps are playing .750 basketball with 14 games left. As the ####### who put "Views from the 6 seed" in the tags to start the year, I feel glad to be humbled.

Fun week for LeBron, his best pass ever and best dunk ever both coming in losses in which the Cavs looked pretty hopeless. Speaking of my #6 seed tag, it's looking very realistic that the Cavs are the ones who will be the #6 seed. Cavs are very lucky to be out East, in the West they'd be a lottery team. And the West is a bloodbath, so much intrigue with the possibility of the Spurs, Thunder or TWolves as the #8 seed. This would have been a good year to eliminate conferences for the playoffs.

I don't know what JV is drinking this year but I would keep pouring it down whatever it is. Cause he had really been a pleasant surprise. His D is so much better and dufus Casey has finally figured out how to use him on offense.
Scoring , setting awesome screens, hitting 3 pointers. Playing solid defence , blocking shots and rebounding big time.

Him and Purtle are quite the combo.
He dropped a lot of weight to get quicker in the last 12 months
