Yeah, quick aside, I rode a Rockets obit yesterday for about, it's been about two or three hours in my afternoon. So that was cool watching that game unfold as it did. But I thought that the Lakers, you know, they were obviously very small throughout the game. And the double teams in the first half, in the second quarter primarily, just felt very chaotic and they felt...

And the double teams in the first half, in the second quarter primarily, just felt very chaotic and they felt...

you know, extremely desperate. But at the same time, it's like, what else can they do here? I guess there are other things you could do, but squeezing the ball from Anthony Edwards' hands and forcing everyone else to beat you is... I guess, better than switching Luka Doncic onto him and putting up the prayer hands emoji. But yeah, I'm kind of stunned that they won in five.

I'm not going to lie to you. I looked at this and in hindsight, looking at the Lakers roster and how it's built around Luka and just how inadequate it is and a lot of the pieces that he needs just weren't there. it makes sense that they lost in five and it makes sense that they lost kind of the way they did.

I didn't expect Rudy to have 27 and 20 or whatever he did, but it makes sense for them to get pounded on the offensive glass and the boards and just to be overwhelmed by the athleticism in transition. So, so yeah, it's, it's shout out to Rudy. I don't even know what else to say.

I would rather play the Golden State Warriors. And I say that with all due respect to Steph and Draymond and Jimmy and the championship pedigree. Um, I just don't want any part of the length athleticism and youth that Houston can throw at Anthony Edwards without helping over helping off the three point line. They don't need to send two at aunt 30 feet from the basket. Um,

I mean, I'm sure we're going to talk about this game, but the Houston Rockets played a lineup at the end of the first quarter that had Jabari Smith Jr., Amin Thompson, Alperin Shingun, Stephen Adams, and Tari Eason. And I was staring at my laptop screen like, is this the biggest... five-man unit I've ever seen in a basketball game.

And they got two straight stops out of their zone because Amin Thompson's closeouts are... I mean, he's like an apparition. His closeouts are one of... It's like they're more entertaining than some players' dunks. They're incredible. He just devoured Moses Moody. He makes Steph flinch. He's amazing. So, yeah, I think the athleticism with... You know, all things aside about their offense, which...
