"As they passed the rows of houses they saw through the open doors that men were sweeping and dusting and washing dishes, while the women sat around in groups, gossiping and laughing.
"What has happened?" the Scarecrow asked a sad-looking man with a bushy beard, who wore an apron and was wheeling a baby-carriage along the sidewalk.
"Why, we've had a revolution, your Majesty -- as you ought to know very well," replied the man; "and since you went away the women have been running things to suit themselves. I'm glad you have decided to come back and restore order, for doing housework and minding the children is wearing out the strength of every man in the Emerald City."
"Hm!" said the Scarecrow, thoughtfully. "If it is such hard work as you say, how did the women manage it so easily?"
"I really do not know," replied the man, with a deep sigh. "Perhaps the women are made of cast-iron.""

The game still has 3 minutes left, but my Rockets are up by twenty over the Trailblazers, so I'm assuming we'll hang on to win this one.
The Rockets have won a playoff series, for the first time in twelve years. Good job, guys.
Now we get to go face the Lakers in the second round. Let's go Clutch City!

I really think that the Rockets have a chance against the Lakers, although I doubt they'll do it.
I really hope, though, that they can push it to six or seven games. If we can win one of the first two, as we did in Portland, I think that will set us up nicely. It's a matter of solid defense and everyone contributing on offense.
Unlike Portland, if Yao is having an off night, I think we lose. Everyone will have to come together for every game. Luckily, we have a few days rest before gearing up to go.

If every Rocket grows a mustache, they will beat the Lakers, guaranteed.
