I am so impressed with this win! Could I be more proud? In the words of Mirk, “I can’t tell you”.

I'm sorry. But damnit, I was so tired of all the pundits, all the Houston fans, everyone acting like we were out of our league in this one and should just be happy to hang around.

We're the MF'n danger!

We brought hell with us to Houston.

We played your game and beat you at it.

IL F'n L baby!

Should have played our game and we would have won by 20
