Like no jab step, just rises up and hits a three. And it's like, that's just so mean. It's so dispiriting. And like you said, the Rockets have seen this movie too many times. None of these Rockets, but the Rockets. The building has seen it like they don't deserve that. I just you know, we all knew the Rockets offense was going to be tested in this series. It was their weak link.

It just for them to put up their offensive rating is one hundred and three point six points per hundred possessions. That's very bad. That would have been last in the NBA by a lot. For them to have an offensive rebounding rate approaching 40% and be that inefficient is kind of astonishing.

You know, Ahmed Thompson looks like a young guy who's a little bit lost in this series because of his lack of a jump shot, and they can put anybody they want on him, and they haven't figured that out yet. Not surprising. The Adams-Shen Goon thing has been good, but they're clearly skittish playing it when Steph is on the floor.

Yeah, it certainly felt that way. They dialed it back. And defensively, they've been good. That's great. They're still in the series. Offensively, what they have is just not good enough. And Sam Amick wrote the piece for The Athletic. We've all been talking about it all year.

If that proves to be the case and the offense isn't good enough and they lose in the first round, there are two ways you can approach that decision.

your your approach could be we won 50 whatever games and there's number two seed we're ready but we just need a big boost on this end of the floor we've mentioned some guys already or could be like hey actually yeah we won 50 whatever games we weren't the two seed by that much and we kind of got exposed in the playoffs maybe we're a little further away than we thought let's take our time i suspect it will go the former way uh and be aggressive um if if this series goes this way but look

It's not like the Warriors are so consistent and so level-headed that we can just assume they win tonight. This could be 2-2 going back to Houston.

I had Kate on my podcast two years ago. I've I've always been high on Cade. Never sold my Cade stock. I couldn't believe that people could watch him play and do the thing we do with young players. Oh, he's inefficient. He doesn't get to the line. Can you give him a little time? Do you see? You have to watch.
