00:00the two seed is the houston rockets oh get excited home floor advantage in their opening

00:04round set against the golden state warriors and yet it's the dubs as a series favorite and with

00:10the third best place to win the western conference but jy makes sense of it for us here the rockets

00:17are a series underdog despite having home floor advantage and being an ever so slight favorite

00:23for sunday's game one how does that make sense to you and what does it ultimately mean for this

00:30opening round set as a basketball coach and as someone that's watched houston grow it does not

00:36make sense to me but to the casual basketball fan who doesn't know enough about a fair and

00:42jaylen green jabari spiff you can keep going on and on and on yet you need to go look at the

00:49pedigree the other side and see step draymond and playoff jimmy there and think oh

00:53well they're just a better team but it's funny how the numbers came out right after golden state

00:58one and you've seen the series betting price start to come back the other way probably about a half a

01:05dollar i would say if not more uh because people are starting to believe this rocket scene i think

01:10this game is i think this is another one going seven i think the west is going to be wild except

01:14for one eight except for one eight i think it's gonna be wild so to me i'm thinking houston rockets

01:19plus uh the one and a half games in the series betting and i'm also going to go and i'm going

01:23to take houston on the money line to win game number one this may be a zigzag series go back

01:29forth back forth back forth then we get the game seven and that's we get nervous about houston because

01:35then it's game seven steph curry either way i think they're getting three wins in this so i'm

01:40going to take houston plus the one and a half games i love it because i do think there's a lot of

01:44disrespect on the houston rockets but the opinion approach here too coach because sometimes like

01:49it's a seven game series regardless like you can't win it in the first game but i feel like

01:52that public opinion is going to sway so much more like let's just say the rockets with this game by

01:57double digits in game number one now we got a series now they're involved that's why they're

02:01the two seed but also the opposite direction coach like talk to me about this let's say golden

02:05state does go in and wins game number one in houston by double digits does that change your mind

02:11on the series or is it a buy-in point on houston that they'll get it together i may buy it again

02:16i mean i may buy it again because if golden state especially donnie if golden goes in and beats them

02:21let's say by you know 10 15 points on the road yeah you'll see them go to more than two to one

02:27favorite to win the series right and you'll and you'll see it start to swing so i think this is what

02:32he's serious where you can kind of bounce yourself around if you're houston and they take you you bet

02:38them now they lose game one you go and you buy back in because you're going to get better odds

02:43than you were before i think it's going to be a series guys i think if houston had guys on their

02:50team that were quote unquote top 25 players in the world they wouldn't be getting this disrespect

02:56it's because of the fact that a lot of people don't know these guys and honestly they should

03:01to be a very good idea
