  Speaker 1: Let's talk Warriors versus Rockets Game one. The final score
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: was ninety five eighty five in a day with nothing
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: but blowouts. I want to say thank you to the
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Warriors and the Rockets for giving us something to talk about,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: because them and I ain't know if I was gonna
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: have a video. What much can I say about OKC
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: putting the smack down on the Grizzies, or tid Jeromes
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: out of Tide Roome doing that thing against the Miami Heat,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: or the Orlando Magics scoring eighty five points or eighty
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: six points. Hey, they need scored at least about points
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: on the day. Eighty five for the Houston Rockets. This
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: is great. But this game gave me everything. Everything If
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: you go back and listen to the podcast and everything,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: there were a few different points that I had like
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: what I'm gonna be looking forward to, not just for
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: gainable one, for the entirety of the season. It was
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the offensive rebound, and it was the turnover battle, and
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: it was the others. And I think that we saw
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: or got a real glimpse of what the series could
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: potentially be from all three fronts before we even get
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: to that. There's a shot at my old hits for
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the for the old times. I know it's not a
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: lot of y'all watching these videos that hate modern basketball.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Too many threes, not enough defense. I hope you watch
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: won in this one ninety five eighty five. Two of
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the best defensive teams in the league, just just hitting
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: each other over and over again. Great defensive game plan
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: on both sides. If you want to see two thousand
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: and three offense, damn it, go watch the Houston Rockets
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: play in a half court. It's ugly. So the o Hens,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: y'all better pack it up or no, just keep watching
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: because this was a really, really good game, regardless of
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: what the final score said. So let's take it step
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: at a time, one step at a time. Start off
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: with the offensive rebound as if, as you know, the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Wards are the favor going into the series. They take
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Game one in Houston, which is huge. But if I
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: was saying on my podcast, if the Houston Rockets want
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: to win this game or win this series, they had
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: to really dominate the offensive class and they did. I
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: thought it was really funny that you got the double
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: big line up of shim Go and seven Adams, something
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: that they've been running for the last couple of months
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and it's been hell effective. Like the plus minus in
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the regular season was ridiculous. I don't know what it
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: ended up being tonight. Necessarily, I thought it was really
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: funny that Steve Kerr is like, y'all gonna run big,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: we gonna run big a post Ain Looney getting the game,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and I just looked it up when it happened. Kevin
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Aloney and Quintin Posts played a total of one minute
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: together in the regular season, one minute, and Steve Curry
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: was like, we gonna play big with big and it
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: really didn't really matter either way. But the offensive rebounding
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: was one of the reasons why the Houston Rockets were
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: able to come back into this game, even though it
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: ended up being a ten point game in a low
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: scoring game. The Warriors were up by twenty three points
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: with six minutes and fifty two seconds left in this game,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and then we saw a couple double digit to like
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: three runs for the Houston Rockets, and a lot of
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: that was offensive rebounding. You gotta give credit to Steven
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Adams who played huge minutes. I know plus minus don't
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: tell you the full story of the game. He is
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the only person for the Houston Rockets to have a
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: positive plus minus today, you gotta give a lot of
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: credit to a start. I always do that. I'm and Thompson,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: who was killing the glass. Jabarsmith Junior only finished with
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: two offensive boards, but I promise you some of them
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: he probably din't get credit for. But just making it
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: so that, like everybody knows going to the series, Rocketts
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: can't score any half court The advantage that they have
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: is running these big lineups, to running these super athletic
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: lineups punching the ball out and hopefully that leads to
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: an open three. Punch the ball out and maybe that
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: just getting to the hand of seven Adams were to
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: go straight up like the half court office is awful.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: So the offensive rebounding was going to be amazing, though
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: it has to be amazing. And when I said that
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: on the podcast, you're like, hey, Warriors says like, hey Kenny,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: our rebounding has got so much better, says Jimmy, Butlatroy,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and it has. But it wasn't just about who you
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: are as a Roarrius. It was about who the Rockets
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: are as a team and how big they play on
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: a nightly basis. So the offensive rebound battle was twenty
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: two while the Warriors got six. Second chance points was
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: twenty two to twelve. That is where they should be
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: holding their hat, and they did, but it didn't matter
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: because the opposite side of thing was the turnovers. If
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I was saying, if you are the Houston Rockets, you
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: could not you cannot lose the turnover battle to the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors. One thing about the Warriors, they turned
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the ball over a lot, but that had shifted a
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: little bit since they got Jimmy Butler on the team. Tonight,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: total turnovers for the Warriors was eleven and the total
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: turnovers for the Rockets sixteen. When the Rockets went on
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: their run, that was when they got a shot up
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: on the glass. Every single possession, just no turnovers, just
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: getting the shot up. We know we gonna rebound, well,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: just get a shot up, get a shot up. Some
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: of the turnovers that we saw from the Houston Rockets
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: were just like bonehead turnovers. I saw Am and Thompson's
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: just trying to hit them move fail turnovers. Same thing
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: with tar Reson. You know, they know that they're not
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a good half core team, so they tried to get
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: out and running and there was one time with tar
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Resan's just trying to get out and run. You throw
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the pass up turnover. You cannot lose the turnover battle
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to a team that is more experience and more well
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: equipped than you are. And that is what happened today.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: The wars were everywhere. I mean, like I said, these
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: are two of the best defensive teams in the league,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: just clawing at each other, and the turnover battle mattered
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a ton. The last thing going into the series where
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be really interested not just
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: for the Houston Rockets, but for both of these seams,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and I was looking at it. I guess my lens
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: was just different across both teams. Where what I was
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: thinking about the Houston Rockets, I was like, Hey, this
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: is what the Rockets need to do to win this series.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: And for the Warriors, I was like, this is what
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the Warriors need to do to win the championship. Right.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I think we got different scales of what the ceiling
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of both of these teams are. And the last thing
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: was the others. You know who Steph Curry is. Damn
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: he gave you thirty five, six and three and he
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: don't even seven shots one great before we get to
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the yeps, Steph Curry hit a shot and I think
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Harlan Lacall says geometrically that shot had no bizness going
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: in and something along those lines. And then later in
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the game, Shitgoon hit a very similar shot and he
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: was not glazed like that. What's up? No, Steph Curry
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: deserve all the glazing in the world. But I just
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I thought shitgun hit won a super tough shot too,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and they was like, shit Goon step back three like no,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: brough that that was the two hands in his face
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: and that's not even really a three point shooter glazer.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: But no, we know who Steph Curry is. The player
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler. You know, jim Bells one of my favorite
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: all time. I will tell you, I'm being honest with you,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: just a little bit of skepticism going into the play
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: and everything, because then even after he got traded to
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the War and everything was looking great, there were a
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: few games where Jimmy Butler Stell took seven shots and
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I'm like, Jimmy, if y'all gonna win a championship, you're
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: gonna win some postseasons you cannot in that game within
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: seven shot attempts, and over the last what three games
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: when it really has mattered, Jimmy ball has been phenomenal.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Don't got to worry about those seven three point seven
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: total shot attempts. It was twenty five seven six and
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: five steals, five steals for him. So you know what
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: you're getting from the top end talent on their side.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Hell alprin shinn't going on the other side. They all
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: start for the Houston Rockets. Phenomenal game twenty six to nine.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I wish you'd got that tenmpre reebund. I ain't gonna
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: lie I had a little you know, I'm saying I
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: wouldsh you got that ten reboun But it dit what
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: it is. It's the others who's gonna step up for
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the Warriors. Podtet a good game, Pod Tetega game. Draymond
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: had a very good defensive game. Undersized, but very good
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: defensive game. But like, didn't feel like I got a
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: lot from Gary, didn't feel like I got a lot
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: from most Moody. I mean Most Moody did hit one
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: of the biggest shots where the Houston Rockets were on
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: their run. I think that was his first made shot
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: attempts first made shot at the game, so like he
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: hit a timely basket, But I feel like I didn't
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: get a lot from him. Didn't get anything Buddy Hill
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: in his fifteen minutes to get anything from Santos. I
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: didn't get anything from Pope. Well, I could take the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: back of Santos. I actually enjoyed his game. I ain't
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: got anything from Post, I didn't get anything from Looney.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: So it's really about the others. The Warriors could win
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: this series without the other stepping up. I truly do
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: believe that. But the next series, if that's if I'm
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: not even saying the dissolt for the Rockets fans, I'm
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: promise I ain't counting you out. But next series, that
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: might be the Lakers, that might be the Wolves. You
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: can't do you can't do that, So you need some
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: of the others to really step up on the other
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: side of things. It was a Shingung show. I mean,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Dylan Brooks kind of cheated. He had a shot with
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: like six seconds ago. Let me turn this TV off.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: It's bother me. He had a shot like six seconds
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: ago to make him get over ten points. But other
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: than that, it was Fred Eveley, he had an awful
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: shooting night. It was Jabari who I want to give
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of credit to because Jabari was a lot
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: of heart, a lot of hustle, and hit a couple
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: of big shots when they were on their run. But
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: that's it. Jalen Green. Jalen Green three of fifteen, zero
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: for four from three, and it got so bad at
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: one point that I'm not even big into like whole
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: body language and stuff like that, where Jalen Green took
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: a couple of shots and now Forri Shin Goong like
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: trunk his shoulders and that's one of the Shingoon things
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: that I disliked, But you know, it's basketball. A lot
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: of people complain about stuff. Shingoon is one of those
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: type of dudes as well. Where Jalen Green mid range
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: pull up shot miss and Shingun's like he's defeated by
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: it a little bit. And I've always given Jalen Green
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: and Frev Van Vliet on this team somewhat of a
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: pass when it comes to efficiency because, like I mentioned,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the half court offense, what it is is awful, right,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: and because it is awful, sometimes they get to six
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: seconds four seconds on the shot clock, and they like,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: somebody got to save us, And a lot of times
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: they're asking Jalen Green. A lot of times they're asking
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Frev Van Vliet to shoot a thirty two foot three pointer.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Somebody need to save them. I don't feel like that
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: was the case today for Jalen Green. I gently do
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: believe that he just struggled from the field. I thought
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the Wars did a great job closing up all his
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: driving lanes. He had a couple of good finishes throughout this,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: but closing up all of his driva lanes prevented him
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: from getting to the free throw line, which is something
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: that he's been better at throughout the course of his career.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: And they pretty much shut him down completely. And if
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the Rockets want to win some games here, their number
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: one score by points per game can't end up with
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: seven points. They put the graphic on the board. I
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: didn't even realize that this is his fifth straight game
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: where he didn't score double digit points. It's kind of unacceptable,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So there's a lot of things.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: You saw the youth from this team. You saw the
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: youth from this team very early on. Eventually they got
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: their kinks out of there, and then eventually they you know,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: start to go on their runs. But early it was
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: some some bad turnovers, some mispasses, shit, and going again
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: did his best with using his side to his advantage.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: And he's got such a good touch around the rim.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: That is like, even if Dremint Green is playing great
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: defense on him, straight up, it's gonna shoot over you
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: time and time again. And I did believe that they
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: kind of got away from Shin Gooing a little bit
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: later in this game. I don't have his exact shooting locks,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: but I feel like he didn't get enough touches down
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: to stretch. But again, we might be I might be
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: what it would just grasp it for for reasons and
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: things to talk about, I guess. But it really was
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: offensive rebounding. And this is this is what scares me
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: a little bit from the rockets, because you killed the
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: glass so much, right, Like your size is gonna be
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: your size, right, that's not going away anytime soon. But
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I wonder if the wars are gonna have anything to
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: kind of negate the offensive rebounding. You won that battle,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: you did get a you didn't win the turnover battle,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: but you've got an adequate amount of turn It's just
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: like that was a game that if you're the Rockets,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I know, at one point you're down by twenty three,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: but you feel like you schematically did the right stuff,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: but you weren't able to completely execute. They couldn't hit threes,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and that's just Rockets ball, you know what I'm saying.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I thought they even did a pretty decent job of
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: like I can't say container stuff because it over thirty one,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: but like stuff hit some ridiculous shots. He saw I'm
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: and Thomas, he saw Frevan Vlid, he saw Dylan Brooks,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: he saw Tarry Easter, and he saw pretty much. He
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: saw a gauntlet of talent. Defensively didn't matter. It's a
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: little scary, you know. One of the reasons why people
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: are optimistic about the Rockets. We're like, oh, just last
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: week when they played Steph Curtin, it up with three
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: total points. Yeah, Steph Curry's really good. It's kind of
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: hard to prevent him from having great games. It's a
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: whole timer, you know. So I don't know how to
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: feel about the series going for it. I hope that
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: it's a long series, because I really did enjoy the
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: defensive battle. I really did enjoy seeing the different schemes
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: that the Houston Rockets do at Steph Curry and him
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: still just blowing them up time and time again. And
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I wonder if E may because twenty minutes with Stephen
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I was more than I expected. I'll tell you that much.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: But I wonder if that number increases more for game
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: number two because he was such a menace on the
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: glass and he's so strong. At one point it was
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: a free throw from from Jalen Green and Steven Adams
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: just straight up through Quentin Post on the floor, just
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: threw them on the floor, just the strongest man alive.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I feel like I may be forgetting some stuff. But
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Baller amazing, Draymond Green was really good defensively, Steph
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Curry was amazing, and they walked out of there with
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: a win and taking a win on the road. I
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: ain't got to explain this to you. Is fucking big,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: at least my daughter's shoots. It's so big and winning
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: a series like this, so I can't wait for the
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: next game, which is gonna be on Thursday, No, Wednesday, Wednesday,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: all right, all right? I said, yeah, I can't wait
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I can't wait shout out to them from saving this
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: day because one thing I was thinking about as the
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Thunder got to ah, let me see what was their
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: biggest lead of the game. When the Thunder got to
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the point where they were up by fifty six, I
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: was thinking that because of the plan, stuff like this
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: might happen somewhat often. Where Day one of the playoffs
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: is electric is fun because we got the four to
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: five matchup and a three six matchup, and the day
• 12:47
