    That replay...

    Vince was seriously two inches away from stepping out of bounds.

    Vinsanity 2014.

    VC has hit yet another huge game winner -- is anyone even close to Carter (game winners)?

    Monta played out of his mind...something that Dallas wont get every game.

    If Dirk does not wake up, Spurs are still winning this.

    Dallas needs Dirk to win the series.

    Reminded me of Sean Elliot's "Memorial Day Miracle," ironically.

    The Rockets coaching is so poor compared to these other teams. If Rox find a way pass the Blazers they are sitting ducks the next round.

    That was a great game. Two teams leaving it all on the floor. Probably the two best coaches in the NBA. A hot and lathered up home crowd that cheered loudly and passionately every time the home team scored.

    And it was capped off by an amazing finish.

    I can lay down my feelings about the Mavs for one day and enjoy this.

    Talent alone can get us or Portland by these two teams.

    WCF for the winner of our series.

    Who would have though the Spurs, Thunder, and the Rockets would be in a 2-1 hole?

    I never said there was an issue with Portland. I'd rather have Stotts at the helm than Mchale lol. So you are a Portland fan as well I guess?

    I honestly thought there would be one upset in each conference. Not three in the West alone though.

    If the Mavs can knock off the Spurs, and the Grizzlies can knock off the Thunder, the Rockets HAVE to find a way to win this series.

    Carlisle is really good about getting most of his players good shots...something that can't be said for McHale.

    The last play isn't a well planned one! It was so tough to for VC with Gino closely guarding him. Gino jumped a bit early, otherwise this shoot would be well contested. Nothing special for the coach on this last play.

    Love Vince Carter. Clutch shot, great fun to watch that. Spurs still winning the series but props to the Mavs for putting up a good fight.

    the best thing about all of these tough matchups is that when the rockets do manage to put down the blazers, we wont be the only team coming out of epic, hard fought games. All the teams in the next round will be beaten up equally as bad.
