Game 71 Raptors at Rockets

Time to bounce back after a tough loss in Boston. How did I know that the first game I got to watch since being back would be a loss? Ah well. Raptors! Rockets! Let's go!

• Wednesday's game saw Kyle Lowry benched to get some much needed rest. Also I guess his elbow was sore. Patterson was out too, but it appears both are active tonight though I could see Lowry sitting out again giving Cory Joseph the start
• The Rockets are a strange team. On paper they look almost unstoppable with James Harden and Dwight Howard, but somehow they find themselves clinging to the 8th spot in the West. Every game is important to them from here on out if they wish to keep their playoff hopes alive
• Though they lost on Wednesday The Raptors have clinched a playoff spot for the 3rd straight year due to a key Chicago loss

Tonight's Raptor Track!

Bob Dylan - "If You Ever Go To Houston"

I feel like Bob Dylan has a song for everything. I guess after 39 albums there are still plenty of subjects left to write and record music about. "If You Ever Go To Houston" is off his 33rd album Together Through Life released in 2009.

Raptors 2nd in East 48-22! Rockets 8th in West 35-37!
