    4 pt lead is enough for D12. He should play most of the 2nd half.

    Good to see Playoff Ariza is in form. We're really gonna need it giving up leads like this.

    Ariza has been huge. 8 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assist.

    Howard has to stay on the court! Harden has to wake up! Defense must stick together. Smith has to be more patient on offense, way too wild..

    Few things for the 2nd half I hope happen:

    1) Refs stop calling bull**** fouls on Howard
    2) Harden quits being passive.

    There's still 6 fouls between him and Dwight plus we have Dorsey. We can't afford to not have someone out there who can grab boards. This will be a quick series for Dallas if this becomes routine

    The refs decided that we shall play with no centers.

    Hopefully they will change their minds in the 2nd half.

    Things to adjust.

    +Guard Rondo, it was nice to give him those open shots to see if he would hit those shots. He will. Guard him now.

    +Pray that the refs decide to let us play with our centers. That's the biggest issue right now.

    Only two field goals. Problematic because if refs swallow whistles... Yikes.
