Coming up, it was a game seven weekend. Rasil and I are here to talk about all of it next. We're also brought to you by the Ringer Podcast Network. I have a new rewatch of what's coming for you on Monday. It's a big movie.
It's a big, big movie. That's all I'm telling you.
You've seen it Monday night. It's going to be on the ringer movies, YouTube channel. It's going to be a video podcast on Spotify. It might be more than one part, or maybe it'll just be one part. I don't want to spoil it. Could be one part. Could be two. Get ready. Uh, This podcast is going to be back Tuesday and then Thursday.
And you can follow the clips and videos on the Bill Simmons YouTube channel where we went live tonight after Golden State and Houston with Ryan Rosillo. And it's coming right now. First, our friends from Pearl Jam. Bill Simmons here with Ryan Russillo. It's Buddy Heald Day. Who knew? The nephew of the Klay Thompson game.
We now have the Buddy Heald game and also an incredible Steph Curry game where he's just getting doubled the entire time. But Buddy Heald, 33 points, nine for 11 from three. And the Warriors hold off the Houston Rockets who were a tenacious band of pit bulls just coming and coming and coming. But unfortunately for them, Could not make a shot.
Russillo, what are you going to remember about this game 10 years from now?
10 years from now, probably not much, but it is not exactly on par with my favorite Steph game of all time in 2019, scoreless in the first half, and then 23 in the third quarter, so it goes for over 30 in the second. It's probably my favorite Steph game. But yeah, he wasn't getting it done. He was making other plays.
