Welcome to the Ringer NBA show. I'm Chris Varnay.

Joining me is he does every Tuesday from theRinger.com. He is Kevin O'Connor, aka Kevin O'Bonor, aka Kevin O'Conflict, aka Kevin O'Connor.

I meant aka Kevin O'Model. Kevin O'Connor!

Chris, what's up man? I missed talking to you. It's fun, fun, fun, we could then be a basketball.

We're going to have to floss a little bit. Okay. First thing to floss about. Number one, it was our, I believe, Christmas wish list or maybe it was a wish for the New Year.

It was last year and we were doing a podcast and one of the wishes that I made and this was actually last season.

I'd have to go back and find it. Probably should have done that before we did this podcast.

One of my wishes you will recall was I wanted to see a 50 point quarter. I thought it was a possibility given the Warriors at the Rock.

I didn't realize it was going to come in the playoffs. We've been waiting for all that time and a couple of people brought it up to me last night on Twitter.

But I said I want to see I do think we are in range where one of these teams with the amount of threes that they shoot could actually have a 50 point quarter.

Never in a million years would I have thought that a team would be capable of having a 50 point quarter in the playoffs though.

I mean, this was, I mean, this is obviously historic. Like when I wished for that because it is something that I thought would be extremely far fetched.

Thus it was throwing a penny in a, you know, in a basin. But there was last night. I witnessed it. 50 points.

And so in that second quarter, right Houston was starting to get open shots. It was almost the calm before the storm. Nobody would have expected a 50 point third quarter.

But that shows what the rockets are capable of when everything is working. Like they were scoring an isolation. Chris they were scoring on pull ups and the pick and roll.

They were getting to the lane. They were, they were just completely shredding Carl Anthony towns and the entire defense.

It was, it was impressive to actually see it when like you said last season, whenever it was. It was really just a fantasy over four points a minute.

That should be impossible. It really should around two points per possession as well.

It cannot happen in a playoff game. Like what? Like that's one thing theoretically. That's one thing to read their highest intensity.

When you have to treasure the ball every possession and when you, I mean, usually the game slows down a little bit. That's what they say, right?

I just can't, I still can't even believe that that happened, especially against the people were hitting Tom Tibito with it last night. Like against the guy that if I said,

Hey, if you wanted somebody to design your defense and I know that they have not exactly had some kind of great defense since he's been a Minnesota.
