You know it's really bad when Basketball Forever is turning one of your good players into half a Hawkman because I guess he can't shoot.

Yeah, I mean, Lee says it's just obviously it's his confidence is shot.

He's got talons.

All right, sticking with the bird theme.

Loser of the weekend of the Raptors.

Yeah, they were birds, weren't they?

I don't know.

That's what somebody told me once.

The Raptors lost back-to-back games for the first time in a long time.

I think it was like three or four weeks since they had dropped two in a row.

But Friday night, they simply got outclassed by one of the greatest offensive players ever.

That has ever lived.

Is that too far to say with James Harden?

I don't think so.

No, you're exactly right.

Toronto was up.

They were up like seven or eight, three and a half minutes to go in regulation, and then they missed six straight shots and Harden just single-handedly...

got the Clippers back into the game, got them to overtime.

He had a personal 8-0 run.

They didn't know what to really do with him.
