00:07that has been donnie right side's task for h down the entirety of this opening round not just to
00:14start off the playoffs drs but certainly with a focus in game number two we set the stakes early
00:21yesterday if the rockets lost in game two each of their two home games to start off this series
00:27donnie was done regular season throw it out the window in the nba it means diddly squat well the
00:34rockets deliver a win last night 109 94 beating the dubs by 15 points in covering as a three and a
00:44half point home favorite the regular season still has some significance in the eyes of drs absolutely
00:51and we see that graphic up there it says round one uh game number two that should just be for the rest
00:56of the way round one referendum because this is the only series that matters to me in round number
01:02one sure we're cheering other games on we're betting them we're doing well profits and all that but i'm
01:06so focused on this series because of why nobody cares about the regular season this would be case
01:11in point if you had a blowout victory for the warriors why watch anything in the regular season
01:15now we only get enjoyment out of it the players don't care until the playoffs are here and also
01:19you take a look at when we're absolutely sizing up these lines particularly the totals regular season
01:24250 240 230 postseason 210 205 195 it shows you it's a completely different game where the players
01:32are carefree in the regular season on a night-to-night base and then absolutely in the playoffs
01:36when it means something now understand this i do know what it means to have one of your best players
01:40not finish the game which means hey played late into the third quarter fourth quarter you knocked
01:44jimmy butler out of the game right away as their second best player and it clearly affected them
01:49as we talk about the trade that came over for jimmy butler how well the warriors played down the stretch
01:53and how well they played particularly defensively in game number one which leaned on steph curry
01:58making shots and also jimmy butler he wasn't there but there's no excuses in the playoffs you could
02:02ease all the rockets oh good jimmy's out we'll take this game easily they didn't and what do we want
02:06to see from them ben quarter number one 28 to 18 a 10 point advantage for houston which they extended
02:13by halftime that's exactly the sign of a well-coached team that's listening to their coach and
02:18understanding the moment where you have to have a good start to get the vibes going in your own
02:22building to bring the crowd into the equation they did exactly that i was impressed by houston
02:27109 94 good defense there limiting steph curry only to 20 points on 6 of 15 shooting i needed
