1. Sports Illustrated Ben Golliver shows us how an incomplete Rockets performance was still good enough for a gentleman's sweep.
2. One of my absolute favorite basketball writers, Jonathan Tjarks, wrote at Mavs Moneyball how Daryl Morey's team-building strategy put the Mavericks' moves to shame over the past half-decade.

"I got you."
"K thx buddy."
