Pouts bigger only on pick six from draft Kings the crown is yours today is Monday may fifth may the fifth be with you PFT we've got game sevens to talk about and the warriors have survived and they're marching on they've done it again the warriors are again skating by they got into the play in game and then now they they push it to game seven. I thought that this wasn't gonna go seven. I thought it was gonna be over in six credits the rockets for fighting. Yep. I do enjoy watching Van Viet play. I enjoy watching Shane. I big time Shane Goon fan. Yeah. He's one. I'm a gooner. He's I mean Shane Goon is is is just a throwback where he has a vertical of one inch and every play to the naked eye could be a travel, but he's so good around the hoop. But the rockets as I expected going into this series, they're a very good team. They have a very bright future. But as it happens in the NBA, you have to go through the wars and that's kind of what happened in this series, where they they like the warriors won this series by feel like the smallest margins because they quit in game five they lost in game six when I think we all expected them to win. The rockets were throwing size of them Steven Adams Adam were you know zones at them had some great wrinkles to push the warriors to the brink but at the end of the day when you get into a game Seven and you have like you're one of your best players jail in green score eight points You can't win with that you can't win with that and it wasn't even stuff It was buddy healed. It was the buddy healed game 30 points. He was lights out and I just think the warriors like They they basically Prove that they procrastinated this series did. That's exactly what they did. They took it all the way to the end of game seven and then Curry just exploded in the second half. Yeah. And they went on a 12th to nothing run. I believe all in the fourth quarter. And that was kind of the end of that. Steph Curry figured out. By the way, for Buddy Heild now, we have 40 seconds He's just hit another, so he's 9 for 11 from 3. Steph Curry figured okay, yeah, I can I can actually get to the hoop if we have our smaller line up out there and see the Adams. What do you he scored a bunch of points on on Saturday, right? Yeah, on on Friday. Yeah, he got it was like him and Rudy go bare. It's like these guys. These big guys can play offense too. Yeah. Yeah, the size bothered them and eventually the Warriors figured out how to solve the two big lineup

Which I feel like if this was seven years ago They would have blown this rocket's team out. Oh, of course way that that team that the the old warriors were engineered But took them a little bit longer to figure out now we get Dremond green and Rudy Gober as he got intended Yeah, these two teams don't like each other. No love lost in this series. Yeah, I'm glad that the Warriors continue to play. I think that you need to appreciate

the greatness that is the Golden State Warriors as long as you can. We don't know how much longer

Curry's going to be around. So just enjoy watching them play.

Well, it's also going to be if we had lost Curry and LeBron in the first round, it would

have been a very distinct. Oh, this is really kind of over. Yep. So we get at least one more series with Steph Curry in the Warriors. And again, the rockets are right now. Should they have worn the H town jerseys that weren't game seven jerseys. We were sitting here when the game tipped off or like these are not game seven jerseys. These are type of things that you have to you have to learn as an organization to get back to the promised land. It is cruel though that the Warriors basically teased the rocket. Steph Curry, I said this speech last week when I was basically broke it down that he he killed the James Harden rockets. Let them rebuild completely dismantled their team and then rebuild it back up. And then he's still standing there at 37 years old killing him again. And then to tease them, they tease them because I think the whole world thought that the Warriors, especially with the way they treated game five where they were like, we're not going to play the second half. We've got this in the bag. They didn't, they actually didn't, they didn't try out new things against the big lineup. It took them Friday, losing at home to then go to Sunday and beat the rocket soundly. And now we get the Warriors next round. Yeah. Dremon Go Bears can be awesome. Yeah. Jalen Green might have James Hardin's old locker. And there might be something that's still in that locker because in the big moments, he seemed like he just didn't want to play. Yeah. and they just don't they just didn't have enough offense i mean they they hit six threes tonight i know that uh... they do that the rockets were

looting moments he seemed like he just didn't want to play. Yeah, I'm gonna be out there. And they just don't they just didn't have enough offense. I mean, they they hit six threes tonight. I know that they do the rockets were a little bit of a throwback in the fact that they would throw a bunch of size out there. But we got a whole we got a goal with a peg that's when a peg wins. We're going to talk to Whitney about that in a second. That was an incredible game as well. Wow, blues, they got to be sick after that. But yeah, the Rockets have a bright future. They will be back. They could make a move for Yannis. I feel like Kevin Durant wants to be a rocket, but the rockets are probably like we're good. In the future, you can go like real throwback with your jerseys if you're the rockets in game. Correct. Those would be awesome. Youem jerseys. Game, yup. Those would be awesome. You can't wear the bubble letter H town
