Time for vengeance.

Winning against The Rockets and OKC will built a lot of confidence since both of these teams want to establish themselves as an elite team.

Even though I'd love to see Nance Dunk on Howard - I'd much prefer to see Russell shoot a buzzer beating 3 over Howard, much like how Steve Blake did:) man that was awesome
