    Even when Harden didn't have it clicking on the offensive end he continued to give effort on defense. It's just we are so used to seeing him dominate that when he doesn't, it feels like a let down. He's played well the last two games, just not at MVP level. Still the Rockets are up 2-0.

    In the interest of making a long playoff run, I hope we take two more from the Mavs just like the first two games. Not having to fully rely on a harden and have other step up will build confidence in the roster that anyone can step up and lead the team to victory.

    Go for the juggler in game three, who is with me!? Next game seals the series. Remember when we went to Dallas and won two games on their home court to start the series?. How we were all pumped? Well we lost the series in a 40 point blow out in game seven. Let's not forget. Put this baby away on Friday.

    Definitely was getting hyped after that amazing 4th.

    Let's not crown ourselves though. You know the Mavs will be ready and it'll be loud in Dallas. Harden needs to get out of the slump.

    We've been up 2-0 before and things have gone awry. Let's get out to a 3-0 start.

    That will be satisfying.

    Playoff Win = Biatchfest over Harden's shooting? Really?

    Smh... r****ds. Up 2-0 heading to Dallas, the enemy is demoralized, we keep finding ways to win even with hardships and "bad" games by some players.And you complain?

    Dumb.

    Was at the game.. One thing to note, rockets fans suck. It was quiet mostly throughout the game. Good game though.

    That third alley-oop from behind the backboard was insane! I was so giddy during that whole stretch! Smith tore apart Dallas' defense every play down with his passing.

    Can't wait for those highlights! Smith deserves his own highlights!

    Exactly. Teams are playing Harden like they play Curry on the pick and roll. Trap hard and make the other guys beat you. If you can get the ball to your release quickly, with good spacing and passing you can get great looks playing 4-on-3 while the defense is scrambling. Thats what Golden State has mastered with great shooting in Thompson and Barnes and great passing by Draymond and Bogut.

    I love that our bigs are unselfish and look for each other. I even saw Capela make a nice dish inside for a dunk to TJ tonight.

    This is a great strategy for us.
