Yeah, I mean, Steph's going to be a problem for them. And it starts, like, it's everything. To me, in every series, the number one question you have to answer is what is their plan for Steph? You got a good plan, you got a good chance. And the Rockets have a good plan. Like, they got bodies to throw at them. The difficulty is their offense. Like...

Do they sacrifice offense to to put a guy to put a Tari Eason in there or do they just hope Tari Eason just has a game where he can get you 17 points? Right. This is the kind of betwixt that Steph puts on a team like even tonight. It was like, all right, Scottie Pippen Jr. Get out here. and probably Vince Williams Jr. might have been a better option, but you just sacrificed too much offense.

So you're going to see Houston in that a lot, and you already know who's going to want to be on them, and it's Dylan Brooks. And then he's going to try to go back, and if that's the recipe, hopefully he may be smarter to know that, but you're not beating Steph Curry with Dylan Brooks. It's going to have to be how they do it. Our man Thompson is just tough. Our man Thompson is the guy.

Yeah, that's the guy. That's the guy. It was great for the one game. Remember, they played the Warriors four times. The Warriors won the first three. It was a great plan for one game against the entire team. I would caution our man. This is Stephen Curry, and it's seven games. Yeah. It sounds good to, you know what I'm saying? Like, he's going to figure out something.

They're going to have a counter. And if he's really good on it, that means he won't be on Steph. That's all that means. If he's really good on Steph, he won't be on Steph.
