00:00But the late-night game on Sunday, after you're done with all the Easter festivities,
00:06you put everybody to bed, and then you can sit down and watch game one of the Warriors and the Rockets.
00:129.30 East tip on Sunday night.
00:15Of course, a couple weeks ago, these two got into a bit of a scuffle.
00:19We did that stat about how the Rockets, since Imey Odoka has taken over,
00:23lead the league in attacks, ejections, everything else.
00:27He has turned them around fairly quickly in his two years in Houston,
00:32getting them to a 52-win year this year and the No. 2 seed in the West.
00:36Let's hear from Odoka about what he changed with the Rockets.
00:40I think they saw pretty early and easily what was successful, what brings to success,
00:45and the things that work.
00:47And so for us, it was from day one to always play up to a certain level, effort-wise.
00:52And I said that from day one, and they bought into that.
00:54So it didn't have to push them as far as that.
00:58Guys were hungry to improve and win and get off the losing snide.
01:02And so they all bought into that.
01:03It was just the little details, I think, in preparation and professionalism on a day-to-day basis,
01:08game-to-game basis.
01:09And they always talk about bringing the vets in to kind of be that on the court,
01:14be that in practice every day.
01:15But it rubbed off on our young guys as well.
01:17So just needed a little pushing here and there.
01:19And they all bought into that.
01:21And like I said, you get tired of losing to a certain level.
01:24You want to get out and win.
01:24And you see things at work.
01:25You continue to do it and be more consistent with it.
01:28Listen, I like them on Sunday night in the Toyota Center in H-Town.
01:35I think they're going to beat the Warriors.
01:36Not only that, I think they'll beat them in the series.
01:38This team is no joke.
01:41They are legit.
01:42Now, I know everyone wants to crown Steph Curry again, his fifth title.
01:49And they've already done it.
01:50Like, I'm hearing people saying the Warriors are going to win a title because they got Jimmy Butler.
01:53Okay.
01:54I'll see you Sunday night.
01:56Let's see what happens Sunday night.
01:57And we'll see.
01:58And let me tell you something else.
01:59This series is going to be crazy.
02:02There is going to be fights.
02:04There's going to be ejections.
02:06There's going to be technicals.
02:07There's going to be wild press conferences after the games with complaining about the
02:14refs.
02:14They're going to blame the refs for everything.
02:17And you're going to see Oduka lose his temper.
02:20You're going to see Brooks lose his temper.
02:22You're going to see Dre lose his temper.
02:24Kerr lose his temper.
02:26Because Kerr can play the game as good as anybody.
02:29This series right here is the best series in the NBA playoffs.
02:34Hands down.
02:35Not even close.
02:37Not even close.
02:38I agree with you.
02:39I think it's going to be outstanding.
02:40I think this and I think Lakers Wolves is going to be good, too.
02:44I think those are the two series that are going to have a lot of distance to them in the first round.
02:49Rockets Young Stars.
02:50Jalen Green.
02:5121 points a game.
02:52Four and a half boards.
02:53Sangoon.
02:5419 points a game.
02:5510 boards.
02:55Four and a half assists.
02:56Thompson, 14 points.
02:58Eight and a half.
02:5955% field goal percentage.
03:01How about that for those guys all together?
03:05How do you like those numbers?
03:06How do you like those guys?
03:08Look, Green, Sengoon, and Thompson are a massive problem for the Warriors.
03:14They act like they're not.
03:15And then this guy, Brooks, is a punk.
03:18He is going to be in the middle of all the violence.
03:22And they even have Adams.
03:23I mean, they got Fred Van Vliet.
03:26They got all kinds of problems for Golden State.
03:29I can't wait to watch them implode.
