00:00But the late-night game on Sunday, after you're done with all the Easter festivities,

00:06you put everybody to bed, and then you can sit down and watch game one of the Warriors and the Rockets.

00:129.30 East tip on Sunday night.

00:15Of course, a couple weeks ago, these two got into a bit of a scuffle.

00:19We did that stat about how the Rockets, since Imey Odoka has taken over,

00:23lead the league in attacks, ejections, everything else.

00:27He has turned them around fairly quickly in his two years in Houston,

00:32getting them to a 52-win year this year and the No. 2 seed in the West.

00:36Let's hear from Odoka about what he changed with the Rockets.

00:40I think they saw pretty early and easily what was successful, what brings to success,

00:45and the things that work.

00:47And so for us, it was from day one to always play up to a certain level, effort-wise.

00:52And I said that from day one, and they bought into that.

00:54So it didn't have to push them as far as that.

00:58Guys were hungry to improve and win and get off the losing snide.

01:02And so they all bought into that.

01:03It was just the little details, I think, in preparation and professionalism on a day-to-day basis,

01:08game-to-game basis.

01:09And they always talk about bringing the vets in to kind of be that on the court,

01:14be that in practice every day.

01:15But it rubbed off on our young guys as well.

01:17So just needed a little pushing here and there.

01:19And they all bought into that.

01:21And like I said, you get tired of losing to a certain level.

01:24You want to get out and win.

01:24And you see things at work.

01:25You continue to do it and be more consistent with it.

01:28Listen, I like them on Sunday night in the Toyota Center in H-Town.

01:35I think they're going to beat the Warriors.

01:36Not only that, I think they'll beat them in the series.

01:38This team is no joke.

01:41They are legit.

01:42Now, I know everyone wants to crown Steph Curry again, his fifth title.

01:49And they've already done it.

01:50Like, I'm hearing people saying the Warriors are going to win a title because they got Jimmy Butler.

01:53Okay.

01:54I'll see you Sunday night.

01:56Let's see what happens Sunday night.

01:57And we'll see.

01:58And let me tell you something else.

01:59This series is going to be crazy.

02:02There is going to be fights.

02:04There's going to be ejections.

02:06There's going to be technicals.

02:07There's going to be wild press conferences after the games with complaining about the

02:14refs.

02:14They're going to blame the refs for everything.

02:17And you're going to see Oduka lose his temper.

02:20You're going to see Brooks lose his temper.

02:22You're going to see Dre lose his temper.

02:24Kerr lose his temper.

02:26Because Kerr can play the game as good as anybody.

02:29This series right here is the best series in the NBA playoffs.

02:34Hands down.

02:35Not even close.

02:37Not even close.

02:38I agree with you.

02:39I think it's going to be outstanding.

02:40I think this and I think Lakers Wolves is going to be good, too.

02:44I think those are the two series that are going to have a lot of distance to them in the first round.

02:49Rockets Young Stars.

02:50Jalen Green.

02:5121 points a game.

02:52Four and a half boards.

02:53Sangoon.

02:5419 points a game.

02:5510 boards.

02:55Four and a half assists.

02:56Thompson, 14 points.

02:58Eight and a half.

02:5955% field goal percentage.

03:01How about that for those guys all together?

03:05How do you like those numbers?

03:06How do you like those guys?

03:08Look, Green, Sengoon, and Thompson are a massive problem for the Warriors.

03:14They act like they're not.

03:15And then this guy, Brooks, is a punk.

03:18He is going to be in the middle of all the violence.

03:22And they even have Adams.

03:23I mean, they got Fred Van Vliet.

03:26They got all kinds of problems for Golden State.

03:29I can't wait to watch them implode.
