What happened in the Rockets vs. Thunder game?
Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily for December 15th, 2024. Coming up, we are at the NBA Cup, so we're going to talk about it. Good morning, everybody. Good morning, S. Good morning, Zena. Good night because it is 10 p.m. and we're sitting on the court. We just finished up Rockets Thunder. Our finals is set and we're going to get to the games in a minute.
How did the crowd react during the NBA Cup?
But guys, I really I want to talk about the vibe here. I wasn't here last year. Our producer and co-host Andrew Schlecht was here, and he told me a lot about how it felt in the arena. It was weird, no fans for the teams, but how did you guys feel about this year? I know that some people were saying it was quiet on TV, but in here, it also was quiet.
yeah the reaction on social media definitely mirrored what we saw in person too because it was quiet some people talked about how it was like you mentioned a high school match right it felt like an AAU game sometimes it did give off summer league vibes which is fitting because we're in Vegas and that's the home of the summer league I think It got better towards the end of that Rockets-Thunder game, and maybe we've kind of overcorrected here on the bad vibes, the quietness. It was actually pretty good. I thought the vibes were what you would expect for a game, by the way, that they had to organize in 48 hours. No one had any, yeah.
And none of these games have a close fan base either. It's not like an LA where it's an hour away. But then there's, you know, the fact that the first game started at 1.30. Yes. And if you know Vegas, most things don't get started until 12 a.m. Most of the people in here weren't planning to be awake. Correct. Exactly. So I think that there was something to be said about the game, the first game being so early. And then I agree. By the time that you got to the 5.30 game, vibes were up a little bit. Things were a little bit louder. And I don't know much about acoustics. Maybe people listening to us do. But this is a hockey arena. It's not meant for basketball. And from what I know about the crossover arenas, like the LA Kings, it's a different vibe. And even just the way they go up, the chairs go up in this arena, I feel like there's something to be said about it just being... A little bit quieter, maybe.
What's funny is you saying that has me right here spinning my head around, which I'm sure is great to watch on video. But there are actually acoustic treatments that are oddly shaped. So there's something going on. I don't know. But it also was quiet. The fans, you know, they're not fans necessarily of these teams. Although I did see a lot of Hawks gear and Bucks gear.
The chants were going, though. I don't want to discount the fact. We did get an OKC chant. We got OKC chants. We got some Hawks chants. There definitely was vibes. But if anything, you saw and heard fans going with the vibes of the game. I'm not here necessarily to cheer for a particular team, but I appreciate what's going on. So there was a lot of oohs and aahs and cheers and things of that nature.
This would have been a fun first game for someone, right? And especially when you consider that the ticket prices were cheap, which people... Which is great. Right, it's a good thing.
You can get all three games, the two of the day, and then the championship for under $100, $99. That's amazing.
That's amazing. It's more than amazing.
NBA product for $99. To point it out in a positive light, look, the NBA is so expensive. You take a family of four, which I couldn't imagine taking them to an NBA game. How rich are you?
$800. Yeah.
And so, you know, think about it. What a cool opportunity. There were a lot of kids here. I thought it was great. The vibes were good. And the games were awesome. So I want to jump into that now, guys. Rockets-Thunder, this game was excellent. The first half was very much about the defense. I mean, the Thunder only scored 41 points in that first half. The Rockets look like a team that are built to just throw dudes at Shea, which is kind of funny when you consider OKC has built a team that's got dudes that can throw them at everybody. Right, right. It's built for Luca. It's built for Anthony Edwards. And so it's just fun to see this dichotomy. These two young teams. And look, we've been on this Rockets kick. Yes. Yeah.
