And this Rockets team, we've talked about the difference the last six weeks, having this version of a man, the 28 and five type guy on top efficiency.

He can't get scared because Wemby's in the paint.

He's got to keep attacking, trust that the whistle is going to be there.

And if he gets a shot or two blocked because, you know, Wemby's Wemby.

OK, tip your hat.

He's going to do that.

He's a freak.

Just trust your own ability.

And so to me, it's just a game where you need KD to be KD, to be more crisp with the decision-making, not turn the ball over, especially the live ball turnovers like he did in San Antonio.

But then, you know, a high-level game, national TV, everybody's going to be dialed in.

It's going to be tougher for your role players to win you the game.

You need your young guys with upside, and I'm looking largely at Amin and Reid, to have breakthroughs, to go make plays off the dribble, attacking downhill in the case of Amin, with Reid making shots in tight spaces from 30 feet, if that's what it takes.

This is a game where you need to lean on the upside of Amin Thompson and Reid Shepard, and hopefully they're able to step up.

It's now at 14 losses, by the way.

They lost tonight to the Hornets.

Yeah, as of our recording, they're down 23 with six minutes left.

So I'm going to say it's final.

No, that's pretty much it.

Looking forward to Tuesday.

That's going to be first matchup in Houston between the Spurs and Rockets.
