Sweep the rockets!! ha

A sweep would be great, but I would be happy with a win in six or seven games. I think it will be a long series.

We're not gonna sweep them, lol, just like they aren't gonna sweep us. All I want for the season is to get out of the round, everything else would just be gravy.

Julie was ON this! I think we need to win this in six games at home. The league and officials will never let us win a game seven AT Houston.
