00:00Let's finish this late game by hearing from Rockets head coach Eime Odoka.
00:04Of course, they now go home down 3-1 in this series.
00:09A lot of work to do and a lot to think about if you're Odoka.
00:14More serious consideration to changing the starting five?
00:17Yeah, we'll take a look at everything.
00:19Obviously, certain liners have been much better at times.
00:22And the poor start to the third really stands out, obviously.
00:27You know, there's a few pieces to it.
00:31There's obviously offensive things and the big lineup goes on
00:34and they rebound well and all those things.
00:36But at the same time, we've been really good defensively with that starting unit.
00:40You know, keeping them in the low 20s for the most part
00:42and have a lead after most of these first quarters.
00:44So doing good defensively there, offensively, got some room to make up for sure.
00:49All right, so there's a couple things here.
00:52On this show, we said a number of times, and I hit the Rockets last night.
00:56I thought they'd win the game, but they covered the three and a half.
01:00That's neither here nor there.
01:01What I did say was, on this show last week,
01:04when I told you my son was going to the game to watch Curry on Saturday,
01:07is that they don't lose at the chase.
01:11They just don't lose there.
01:13It don't matter who they play.
01:14They win.
01:16Curry does not lose in that building.
01:18There's something about it, and it was the same in Oakland.
01:20When they played in the East Bay, I used to go to their games back in the day,
01:25and they never lost at home.
01:27Like, it was the craziest thing.
01:28The advantage that they had with that raucous crowd in the East Bay
01:32was really one of the great home court advantages in the NBA, right, in history.
01:37And then they moved to San Francisco into this new building, right?
01:40Ever since they've been there, all they do is win.
01:42They don't lose at home.
01:44So, it doesn't matter if you covered with the Rockets last night like I did.
01:49They still lost.
01:51And they're effed.
01:53They're effed.
01:54The series is over.
01:55They're going to go home and win at best, and then they're going to go lose.
01:59And that'll be that.
02:00It's going to be over.
02:01And I guarantee you this.
02:02If they lose, if they somehow shockingly lose at home in Game 6,
02:09they'll win Game 7 in Houston.
02:10Well, look, it comes down to this for me through four games of the series.
02:16The only game that Houston won is the game where Jalen Green went off.
02:20The other three games, Jalen Green's been bad.
02:24I mean, he just couldn't hit the beach last night.
02:26He couldn't shoot last night.
02:27He couldn't hit his first two, and that was it.
02:30The one game where he had, what do you have, 35, 34, 35 points in Game 2, they won.
02:36He hasn't been there the other three games.
02:37Oh, yeah, you're right.
02:38Jalen Green, you mean.
02:39Yeah, yeah, it's Jalen Green.
02:41I know you're talking about Jalen Green.
02:44No, Jalen Green is the only, is for the Rockets.
02:47He's done nothing.
02:48He's done nothing except for Game 2.
02:50And that's called a young player, young, who's going to be a star in this league,
02:55and he's in the playoffs for the first time, and he's learning a lesson.
02:58And he's going to learn it the hard way this time through,
03:00and he'll be more prepared next year.
03:02You got that right.
03:02He'll learn it the hard way this time.
03:04You got that right.
03:04All right.
03:05Now, we're going to learn the marathon.
03:06I got it right.
03:07You got it right.
03:08You got it right.
