00:00Biggest thing that's coming out to me in this series is going to be the resurgence, I guess, of Jalen Green in game number two.

00:07You know, we talked about this before the show, or actually during the break.

00:13When you get a team in a spot for the first time, there are nerves.

00:20I know people don't want to think so, but there are nerves in this situation.

00:26And to me, Jalen Green in game number one was not Jalen Green.

00:32He was, let's be honest, him and Fred VanVleet were absolutely atrocious, right?

00:36Combined with two of 17, I think, from three.

00:39Didn't knock down shots.

00:41But to me, his resurgence in game number two, he was the best player on the floor.

00:4752% from the floor, 44% from three.

00:50Six rebounds, you know, I'm sorry, six assists.

00:54Two turnovers, three to one assist turnover ratio, a guy that's got the ball in his hands a lot.

01:00It's something that is a team that was disrespected so much before this series.

01:07Warriors are going to beat them in five, right?

01:09They're going to roll them.

01:09They're going to walk in.

01:10They're going to beat this team.

01:12Not so fast here.

01:13And I just think the Rockets are such an intriguing team because we talk about, like, teams of the future, right?

01:20Okay, see, okay, see, folks, Houston with this depth, with their guard play, with the fact that Reed Shepard was the number three draft

01:29that could be the best player at that class, doesn't even see the floor, this team is going to be around for a long time.

01:37So I want us to appreciate the maturity of this team, but at the same time say, they could win this series.

01:48I know it's 1-1.

01:49They lost home court in the first game.

01:51They could win this series because Jalen Green could be the best player on the floor.

01:56And this may be wild for people to say this.

02:00Al Ferenc and Good could be the second best player on the floor at times.

02:03I mean, he wasn't good at 6-15 for the floor, but still gave you 17-16-7-2.

02:09What?

02:10This team is so good, I don't think they get the respect they deserve, and they will be absolutely in play,

02:20and I will not be stunned if they went to the chase and actually got the win.
