  • Steph Curry is a unique player.

  • He's one of them.

  • That's the way the fan viewing.

  • So it's great when you know how much we missed this.

  • Just about that moment.

  • I have not missed.

  • I have nightmares about that has affected my life.

  • Shot clock running out of 32 foot three Curry at 11 points at halftime.

  • Third quarter warriors playing the Raptors, by the way and down by nine.

  • But it was Steph Curry who just would continue to put on a show last night.

  • Watch him here and again. 00:01:0.000 --> 00:01:0.720 He has. 00:01:0.750 --> 00:01:10.670 When we talked about what Dane Lillard was doing earlier in the season, just shooting from anywhere all the time, he was basically Julie, joining in what step has been doing for the last five years.

  • Look how much fun he's having doing it was camping out for because that was the four point play.

  • Now here he is in the fourth quarter, finding his way to the whole.

  • Steph Curry would finish with 23 points.

  • Seven assists played 27 minutes, but the team they played was good.

  • He would keep them in it.

  • But Pascal see Hachem would find a way to win it, taking it to the hole in the end.

  • The Raptor winning 1 21 1 13 But for everyone, Great toe Haven't n ba superstar back?

  • I feel great.

  • It was, uh, about energy.

  • It's anticipation for tonight.

  • Just get back out on the floor.

  • Just seeing what was gonna happen.

  • They don't know what to expect howto handle like the minute restriction and all that.

  • But throughout the 27 minutes, I felt good, so excited to be back out there.

  • I thought he looked great.

  • I moved Well, to me, it feels like, you know, it's on again. 00:01:59.030 --> 00:02:2.870 You know, we're We're now through the woods. 00:02:3.090 --> 00:02:11.850 We can start looking ahead and using these games Thio to prepare ourselves for trying to reach a higher level of play.

  • Look, it did not take staff long to go back to being step.

  • Last night.

  • He attempted six threes from 30 feet away that was tied for the most such attempts in his career.

  • Let's get to the Rockets and the Clippers Rockets putting that microbe all to the test against the Clippers at home, and the Rockets would struggle from a fashion sense, if you ask me.

  • But anyway, more the only place they want.

  • Yeah, well, it's depending on how you look at it if they want or not.

  • They were struggling to shoot, though, and it continued to be a story throughout the first half.

  • R J What my thing is this.

  • Look, the Golden State Warriors change the game with the way they used freeze.

  • But unless you have the Golden State Warriors, you can't just shoot 20 threes and ms all of them that is not a formula for winning basketball. 00:02:57.940 --> 00:03:2.760 That's the face your coach makes when you missed 20 straight threes, Clippers up by 21 call why? 00:03:2.760 --> 00:03:4.090 Just watch him right here. 00:03:4.750 --> 00:03:6.680 Just a grown man, and he puts them through. 00:03:6.680 --> 00:03:15.290 If you don't have rim protection, if you want to play small ball, the Clippers have the most talented small ball lineup in Little League.

  • You can't beat them playing their game, in my opinion, and that's not even a game.

  • They want to play just one of their options.

  • You saw Zuba?

  • They're finishing strong.

  • He had 17 points and 12 rebounds.

  • The Rockets are down by 21.

  • At this point, A little works injury here.

  • West rug.

  • This is painful, and you'll see why right now, Because the rim said sorry.

  • You're not gonna be able to see Oh, look like lepers have more rim protection like literal rim protection than the Houston Rockets do.

  • All right, so the Clippers win this 1 20 to 105 As you just said, our day, a time, it felt even a little worse.

  • That so what's your takeaway seeing?

  • These Clippers dominate the rockets at home My thing is this.

  • The Rockets have the burden of proof, right? 00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:4.310 They have to prove to us that this work, that this lineup can work and they're going to beat teams because I'm not. 00:04:4.310 --> 00:04:8.530 A lot of people are going to see them randomly and is one game one game here. 00:04:8.540 --> 00:04:19.520 But when you get to a seven game series of you can't consistently play defense, you can't consistently knock down shots that look, we know that this is one game we know James Harden is going to shoot the ball better than he will.

  • Today are our last night.

  • Excuse me, but ultimately when I look at this Clipper team and the amount of depth that they have, when they have Moors and they have salmon and they have Beverly, if you're gonna go small against them, they have more talented smaller than you do.

  • So there's really two separate conversations to be had here.

  • There's the conversation about the Rockets and what this unique style they're trying to play with is, and then there's the Clippers and we're going to get a very interesting look at them because they get the Lakers on Sunday.

  • Everybody, hopefully you're already aware the Lakers play the Bucks tonight and then the Clippers on Sunday, and we will know a lot about the Western Conference when we go to sleep Sunday now and I stand by this, this is the Clippers to lose.

  • They have the most talented team they have.

  • Ah, veteran coach. 00:04:58.810 --> 00:05:3.950 They have a coach that won a championship as their assistant coach, that coach with LeBron. 00:05:4.030 --> 00:05:11.820 So they have a lot of competitive advantages over almost every single team in this league, and to me, it is the Clippers to lose it.

  • Pretty West arrested last night.

  • He's very rested, He's very rested and I stand by this.

  • He's coming off injury last year and he had a long year.

  • He should be able to rest some.

  • Even Paul George is coming off shoulder surgery, so I know we talk about race, but these guys are coming off legitimate injury and now that they're back and healthy, proud of the reality of it is if you're paying attention to the numbers when they're all on the floor together, which doesn't happen off if they never leave, never lose lose.
