Holy crap, what a comeback. I mean, I know this team has shown us it can rally before. And they've got a lot more fight than in previous seasons. But, still, I didn't expect them to manage to get a win out of that situation.

- "Maybe this is just a hot streak and they'll go back to playing the hard-nosed-but-not-quite-good-enough brand of ball they had been playing. If that's what happens, so be it. It's certainly an improvement on last year and no one expected them to do anything this year, anyway."
