00:00Warriors beat Memphis 121-116. It wasn't easy, even though they had a 20-point lead in the first half, 10-point lead at the half, but still, the Grizzlies fought back in the second, all with John Morant getting hurt, too. You saw him hurt his ankle during the game, and he was able to fight through it and keep going.
00:20Late in the game, though, of course, who was it? It was Steph Curry. You mentioned earlier, 37 points, 8 boards, and 4 dimes. Butler had 38-7-6, but Curry's 3 is down the stretch on TNT.
00:32John Morant should have pulled it out. Butler with the move. Green. Curry. 3. Good!
00:40It's Curry off the screen. Fakes. Fires. Stuckett!
00:55It's always the same story, isn't it? I mean, like, what else is there when you're watching this team?
01:02So, here's the deal. They're playing the Rockets. They're already favored over the second seed. The 7 is favored over the second seed.
01:15And you know why they're favored? Because of Steph Curry. And unless Heduca can figure out a way to shut down Steph Curry, which is a near impossibility, they got a problem on their hands.
01:30And Butler gives them another option. Look what he did. 38. I've never, you know, denied his talent. I know how talented he is. That's not my problem with lymphoma.
01:43He's a team wrecker. He's, you know, he is the United Van Lions of the NBA. He's been on so many teams, I can't keep track of him.
01:51And he's left every one of them with blood on the floor, especially in Miami. What he did there was a scene, right?
01:58He can't even make it up what he did to Riley and his teammates down in Miami. I don't care what anybody says.
02:04And then he went out there, and now he got his extension, and he's happy. You give him his money, he's always happy.
02:10If you don't give him his money, he destroys teams. But he still can go out and give you 38.
02:15And that's what they pay for, is for him to play basketball. There's no doubt. And the two of them together are a problem.
02:21Two of them together are a problem, that's for sure. 38-7-6 for Butler. And here he is afterwards, laying it down for you.
02:31Little Batman and Robin with him and Steph Curry.
02:34I think any team has a chance when I'm on a team. But I know that every team has a chance if Steph's on a team.
02:47So I get to play Robin. That's my Batman. And I don't know who else is.
02:54We got all the villains over there, Two-Face and Joker and Riddler, everybody else in the Western Conference.
03:00But we got a lot of games to win.
03:02They got a lot of games to win, but they got those two. So they're going to be a problem.
03:07Look, I don't, frankly, believe it. I think that, obviously, they can win. I'm not stupid.
03:17Everyone that is in this can win. So I still like Houston. I think they're a better team. I really do.
03:26I think they're faster, younger, deeper. I think they got studs.
03:30I don't deny, you know, Moody and Podzimski and all these guys, Green, that they can contribute without a doubt.
03:40But I just think that this other team, for me, is more exciting.
03:44I thought the two best teams to watch play basketball this year in the NBA were the Thunder and the Rockets, flat out.
03:52And that includes, you know, Celtics, Cavs, Knicks. I still think the Rockets were more exciting than those teams.
04:02I would say a close proximity to them would have been the Cavaliers with the season that they put together, right?
04:09The way they played night to night. But I still think the Rockets are better.
04:13I'll take the Rockets over them, too.
04:15So if they play them, if that were to come to fruition in the finals, I'd still take the Rockets over the Cavaliers.
04:21I really would. I think eventually, you know, I think the Cavs are a really good team.
04:27But if they don't shoot well, a team like Houston could run them out of the building.
04:31And so could Oak City. They'll run you right out of the building.
04:34They score so many points. You can't stop it.
04:38And what happens is these teams that chuck all these threes, that's all they do.
04:42You have a couple bad shooting nights, you're finished.
