    Man, Dwight is certainly saying all of the right things -- backing them up on the court, too. He and Harden have both grown a LOT since this time last season.

    I sincerely hope this scenario plays out. We win game 3, preferably in a dominating fashion, and then the Mavs win in game 4, whichever way, it doesn't matter. Then we can get a game 5 on the Rockets home court, giving the fans a great time to celebrate an elimination game, and maybe a close game that ends with a Harden-Howard alley oop at the buzzer to win the game and send us to the 2nd round.

    Yeah hope we take it at home. I actually hope we lose game 3, learn and adjust to win game 4 and then just blow them out in game 5!

    The comment that gets me: "Now the real series starts." Now if that doesn't sum up how mature our leaders have become then I don't know what will. They could easily be on a high and say they are playing great and will kill any team. But instead they are taking a step back and acknowledging that they still have a ton of work to do and this series isn't over. For me, hearing that maturity and leadership is better than all alley oops combined. To win we need more than talent, we need leaders. H&H have definitely matured. I'm proud.

    I'm not going to lie, I'm still kind of in awe of last night.

    Man, peak Dwight is an absolute monster. JJ Barea was the only one who wasn't completely terrified of shooting near the rim. Gotta give it up to the Big Fella, he's ready to unleash on everybody.

    Terry and Corey and Josh have really done it for us at home.

    The Beard needs to bring it on the road.

    Harden shooting well means a sweep. Cold Harden, however effective otherwise, extends the series.

    Cuban is right. We are predictable. Alley-oops after alley-oops after alley-oops and your tactical mastermind coach can't find a way to stop it.

    Suck it, Dallas. or should I say Allas? Your D has gone MIA.

    Last night's game was as scrappy as it gets but the guys stood strong and the baskets came.

    Did Barkley finally give credit to Dwight and the Rockets last night? I didn't catch the post time show.

    He did. They all spoke highly of the Rockets.

    The most astonishing and pleasing stat of the game was 8-11 FT by Dwight Howard.:) Even Jones hit 3-4.
