00:00But late night is where a lot of eyes will be
00:01when Golden State faces off against the Houston Rockets.
00:04The Warriors favored to win this series.
00:08The Rockets, though, favored to win game number one, JY.
00:12What a fun battle this should be.
00:16I think this series is over that five and a half games.
00:19One thing I did was play Rockets-Warriors over five and a half games
00:22with Clippers-Nuggets over five and a half games,
00:25plus 125 is that parlay.
00:27I didn't want to lay minus 200 on either.
00:29I want to be just, you know, I'm hoping to be double correct here
00:32that these are longer series, so I thought that was worth a shot there.
00:35Where are you at right now on Houston-Golden State?
00:38I think Houston is getting wildly disrespected, folks,
00:41because of the fact that they don't have the championship pedigree.
00:45They don't have Steph.
00:46They don't have Draymond.
00:47They don't have Steve Carr.
00:48You know, they don't have these guys.
00:50They don't have a top 30 guy.
00:53They got that guy, though, Jalen Green.
00:55And they got a kid that Kevin, myself, and I don't want to say I told you so.
01:03But Kevin, myself, Ben Stevens, when he got drafted,
01:08all three of us told you Al-Fair and Shungun was going to be a stud.
01:12People are like, Al-Fair and who?
01:13Who?
01:13What?
01:14Al-Falfa?
01:16The little rascals?
01:17No, no, no, no.
01:18Al-Fair and Shungun.
01:19Listen, this will be the Shungun coming out party.
01:23Mm-hmm.
01:25Unless they let Draymond be Draymond.
01:27Mm-hmm.
01:27And something tells me they're not.
01:31I think that E-Mate's got big game coaching experience.
01:36I know Fred VanVleet likes to play against the Warriors.
01:39How are you doing?
01:39NBA Finals?
01:41Yeah.
01:41So to me, I like the plus one and a half games for Houston.
01:48I think they find a way.
01:50And here's the reason why.
01:52And Kevin and I were talking about this before the show.
01:55You have to understand.
01:56Mm-hmm.
01:58I think they're going to be up 3-2.
02:02Right?
02:02Or I think they're going to be up 3-2.
02:04So I'm going to say seven games.
02:06I don't think they win it in six.
02:09I don't.
02:09But it's one of those things where it's just going to be so competitive,
02:15this series, that I just think Houston's going to be in it.
02:19So plus one and a half games, yes.
02:21Or if you're smart, and I think Kevin just threw out something to me
02:25that I was like, oh, I didn't think about that.
02:28The books are giving you wild numbers for five and a half games
02:33where you don't want to take anything by itself
02:36because you don't want to be at minus 200 or worse.
02:41So, yeah, maybe you take two series to go over five and a half games.
02:46I cover myself a little bit and say it goes six or seven.
02:49Then you do the same thing with, obviously, with Denver.
02:54Yeah.
02:54And now I'm looking at plus money.
02:56I've got to say, Kevin, very smart way of putting two of those things together
03:00and finding yourself some value.
03:02There's a lot of different things within this series that fascinates me.
03:07I think Sengun is incredibly important.
03:10I actually think you have one of the most.
03:12Steph against Eamon Thompson.
03:14Draymond against Alper and Sengun.
03:18Two guys in Steph and Sengun.
03:20I am not saying they are similar, but their goal is to be the offense for the team,
03:26the offensive engine.
03:27They are going up against one of the toughest matchups they could possibly have
03:31on the other side of the court.
03:32Eamon Thompson got first overall DPOI votes from people.
03:36Eamon Thompson held Steph to three points just a week ago.
03:39Draymond Green is Draymond Green.
03:41And got, of course, first overall DPOI votes from people.
03:44And can give Sengun some absolute issues.
03:47So then who swings this series?
03:50If Jimmy Butler is averaging 30 a game,
03:54Golden State is absolutely going to win this series.
03:56I am fascinated by Jalen Green.
03:59Jalen Green's worst opponent on the year, if you look at it,
04:02points per game statistically is probably Golden State.
04:04But it shouldn't be.
04:06Nobody on the Warriors should really be guarding him.
04:08Certainly not Pods or Moses Moody.
04:11Can Jalen Green step up and be a swing in this series?
04:15I think he can.
04:17I think the Rockets minus a game and a half around 320 is worth a look.
04:22Yet not one that I've played myself.
04:25I like a lot of Eamon Thompson props in this.
04:27We will hit those before we get out of here.
04:29We will hit those before we get out of here.
04:29We will hit those before we get out of here.
