Game #55: Toronto Raptors 76 - Houston Rockets 98

[007]

Attack the basket. With Howard out, they don't have a good rim protector, and they foul a lot.

If the plan is to put James Johnson on Harden, we have to hope he doesn't get into foul trouble. That's Harden's bread and butter getting to the line. Will need to keep that in check. I think if we can neutralize how effective Harden is, the Raptors can be successful.

It is better than putting TRoss on him initially.

Unless Harden drops 40, this is a win.

This is the kind of game where you wish Fields' shot wasn't fubar...He might be our best defensive option on Harden.

I don't know man, every time Raptors fans start getting confident that we're going to win everything, that's when the team lets us down lol. I'd much rather fans think we're going to lose, like how people thought we'd lose to Clippers, Spurs, and Hawks. The surprise win is so much more sweeter

Yeah but now were cocky.

This should be a 99% win. Contain hard and win the game , simple.

Honestly, the way our offense is so strong, we could probably afford to put Fields on Harden. But I know it won't happen lol

I actually wouldn't be that surprised, but probably only as a last resort. If JJ gets into foul trouble and Ross shits the bed, I can see Fields being given a shot. Also, counting last night, the 4 games in 5 nights thing might make coach more willing to go to deep bench players.

IF we can stop or at least slow down Harden, they have no offence. Kind of like the Wiz and Wall.

Put JJ on James Harden.

I would love to see Fields tonight. Drfence first is the way to win this game. This game will be tough with Houston coming off a loss. They will want to get back on gear post alstar break.

Don't jinx it !!!

Harden's last two games against us: 39% from the field, 33% from deep, 26 points, 7 assists and 11.5 FTA .

This is a test for our offence. Houston has one of the best defences, no?
