00:00Now, in the other game, we said earlier that it's a coin flip because I think the Rockets

00:05have an advantage that they're playing at the Toyota Center.

00:08That's the only edge they got over the Dubs.

00:10If it were to chase, I think they'd lose.

00:12But do you think Houston has a shot tonight to finish off the Dubs in H-Town with Shen

00:18Goon, Ben Vliet, Green, and company?

00:22Here's another one.

00:23I'm going to roll the dice with the Rockets.

00:24Yes, Scott.

00:25I played them on the money line.

00:26Modest 130 on their home court.

00:28The Rockets are, unlike we were talking about Oklahoma City, the Rockets did this differently.

00:34They're more veteran presence, right?

00:35The free agents that they brought in.

00:37So they've got guys that have played in big games before.

00:40They've got guys that have won championships on the team before.

00:43So it's not like, oh, it's a young and up-and-coming Houston team.

00:47No.

00:48They were pretty good last year, too, actually.

00:49And health caught up with them.

00:50I mean, you've got a bunch of dudes that are ballers on that team.

00:54And I think they just don't want it more.

00:56I know it sounds a little cliche here, but you get these organizations.

01:00I liked Orlando a lot in this NBA Cup.

01:02They finally got bounced, Scott.

01:03But I thought the Magic wanted to go on a run.

01:07And it just means more to some of these teams.

01:10And it's a toss-up game, fun basketball game tonight.

01:13But I'll take the Rockets on their home court, and I'll take the Hawks plus the Eagles.
