00:00With this Rocket Celtic game in Boston, you know, the Rockets have really, uh, they've been outstanding lately.

00:07They beat the Cavs a couple times, beaten on some of the best teams in basketball.

00:12Well, last night they did it again, they rally in Boston.

00:14114-112 was the final. Here we go, tied late in the final seconds.

00:21A little Amen, Amen Thompson on Space City Home Network.

00:260.3 to go, Thompson, off route, into the lane, got the shot, oh!

00:320.7 to go, Thompson gets the Rockets the lead!

00:36Are you kidding me?

00:38Richard! Oh, the Rockets win the game!

00:42Give the ball right back, you love that.

00:46From Ime Udoka.

00:48Listen, uh, this is very interesting.

00:51Uh, because I think that, you know, I learned a lot about where the league's headed right now, uh, with this game last night.

00:59You know, you talk about watching Oak City play the Cavs in that great back and forth in the land and in Oak City, right?

01:08And then, uh, what the Cavs have been able to do, what the Thunder have been able to do,

01:13what the Rockets have done with Udoka, and this young, talented team that's loaded with Shungun and Amen Thompson and Van Vliet,

01:22they got all these guys that can fill it up.

01:25And then, Jalen Green, it doesn't stop there.

01:28And they're beating the Boston Celtics at the Garden, and I, I was on Boston.

01:35You know, you think that, I said yesterday, they'll get up for this game, this is a good team they're playing, they get up for good teams.

01:42They don't get up for anyone else.

01:44But what I'm seeing, Mike, is, is what went down last night is that the Rockets won the game.

01:50The Rockets got the last possession.

01:52The Rockets got the shot off.

01:54The Rockets knocked it down.

01:56The Rockets walked out with the dub.

01:59And I think that what I'm seeing is a vulnerability in Boston, uh, with the Celtics and all this talk of how great they are

02:07and how they're gonna, you know, just dance right to the finals and, and repeat as champions.

02:13I think these teams in the West, and I mean it, like, and I'm gonna put Memphis in that mix as well.

02:19I know they got their ass clocked by the Knicks.

02:22Now look, the Knicks starting five can play with anybody.

02:26They can play with Boston.

02:28I don't know if they can beat them in a seven-game series, but they can definitely play with them, right?

02:32The Cavs can definitely play with them.

02:34I don't know if they can beat them in a seven-game series.

02:36The difference being is that those teams in the West, Mike, they can beat them.

02:42And they are beating them.

02:44And they just did it last night.

02:46There is a shift going on right now in the power mechanism of the NBA.

02:52And it's the Western teams have now caught the Boston Celtics and the East, and they mean business.

02:59And we've seen it before with Golden State winning all those titles.

03:03Like, let's just face facts.

03:05I know the Celtics won last year, but I think the balance of power shifted to the West again in the NBA.

03:12I'm with you.

03:14I think there's a couple of teams that if they played the Celtics in a seven-game series right now, I'm going West.

03:22There's just a bunch of teams that that's absolutely where I would lay my hat.

03:26Me too.

03:27Thompson had a career-high 33, like we mentioned.

03:30Dylan Brooks tied a franchise record.

03:34He hit 10 threes in the game.

03:37So how about Dylan Brooks being a big contributor for that rocket team?

03:42Ten threes, Jesus.

03:43Ten threes is no joke.

03:45I mean, he hit ten.

03:46I played with a guy last night that hit nine, and my daughter hit nine on Saturday.

03:51Like, I've never hit that many threes in a game in my life, but that's impressive.

03:57Ten threes in an NBA game.

03:59I don't care who does it.

04:00It's impressive.
