He's been in the rodeo. He's seen the fire, right? He's been there, right? Jonathan Kamingo, who's out of the rotation right now, but I think he's going to play against the Rockets because of the physicality part. He's been there. And then, obviously, Steph and Draymond and Jimmy Butler and Kevon Looney, those guys, that goes without saying. So what ends up happening is they take advantage of –

Young teams is what happens. It's like they take advantage of, we know the value of a possession and you really don't. There's a part of this also, Izzy, that they have no idea what's coming in terms of the intensity. Because the way I always describe it for NBA players,

you know, players, when you get in, you get to summer league, I'm a rookie, like, oh yeah, I think I could do it, I play pretty well. And then you realize, oh wait, 90% of these guys are not gonna be in the NBA. So then you get to pre-season, and you're like, oh wow, this is really hard, everyone like really upped their level of play.

But then you realize, oh, nobody cares, they're just trying to get in shape. Then you get to the regular season, like, oh crap, they're really, really playing hard. No, they're just trying to regulate for the regular season. And then you get to the playoffs, and you've played 82 games. Like, okay, I think I figured it out. I know this NBA thing.

Okay, so sometimes LeBron does this, and oh, Steph Curry, I got it, right? And then you get to the playoffs, and you realize, oh, shit, they were holding out on us. They had a whole other level. And there's nothing that you can... It's like, you know how when people are... are rehabbing from an injury, and they say, well, there's no replacing game speed, right?

We can go through drills and all, but there's nothing that replaces game speed. It's the same thing. I can't explain it. You're just going to have to experience it, and I think the Rockets are going to get blindsided by that.

impact of all this, that I realized, I think it was two years ago when the Warriors played against the Kings in the first round, which is, it's all well and good. Oh, I'm just as good, we're better than them, we can play.

But then there comes a moment where you're watching Steph Curry go off, and then you begin to realize that these guys that are playing for the Rockets, in this case, they grew up watching this. So it's not just like, oh yeah, like, I was like 20 or whatever. It's like, no, I remember as a 12-year-old watching him demolish the Rockets. And it's like, oh crap, that's happening to me now.

There's a difference between that and when you're watching the movie, right? Anthony Edwards is great. He doesn't have the movie. Like, Steph Curry has the movie. The movie, part one, I put Dele in the hospital. Like, that's a movie, dude. That's not like a regular, oh, yeah, I could play with him.

The biggest lie ever told was that. Deli locked up Steph. He had one good game, and then like- What's the hospital? And then after that, Steph was like, I'm going to put you in the dirt, man. You keep trying to keep up with me, I will have you in an IV and a drip.

You know what's crazy? That's what the Grizzlies did on Tuesday, and then at the end of the game. And then it happened. And then he was just like, the movie's going to start now. And it happens, and the craziest thing is when everyone in the building, everybody knows, like, oh, here we go.
