    Harden, wasn't shooting well, DH not playing enough, Smith was so so, Dirk and Rondo both played yet and we still dominated? I am feeling cautiously confident.

    A Healthy Howard made Rockets true contenders again. Just sweep the Mavs!

    Harden needs to cook. Then he needs to feast.

    i see harden having a huge game... with our role players hitting all those 3s in game 1 I see Carlisle deciding to not double harden as much to keep their guys closer to our shooters opening the lane up for harden to get to cooking

    I kind of expect Carlisle to stay with more of same. Brewer, 30% from 3, made 2 very clutch shots that changed game and Terry was out of his mind, amped up. Can't expect that entire series, so he probably continues with 'success' on defending Harden. But if Smith plays within himself and Howard can see floor for >30 minutes, We should see a good game.

    No letdowns. The Rockets can play a lot better than they did in Game 1. But the Mavs also won't shoot as poorly in the first quarter.

    Take care of the ball and avoid foul trouble and a 2-0 lead should be theirs by the end of the night.

    We won last game with our role players despite Harden not hitting his shoots and dwight in foul trouble.

    Mavs are toast if Howard can stay in and Harden gets his 30+

    Game 1 was nice, but the Rockets still have plenty to prove.

    Show DAL who's boss and rip out their hearts. :eek:


    Be great if Harden shot well from the field. Would help his confidence and my confidence in him.

    We have to get game 2, otherwise momentum will quickly shift to the Mavs. Hoping for a big game from Harden, but I really don't give a damn how we win to be honest. Just get the W and head to Dallas with a 2-0 lead!

    Got to take care of business at home. If the Mavs win tomorrow, their mission is accomplished and all this good momentum we are feeling right now is gone.
