First 90 secondsKevin Wildes· Host0:00
[upbeat music] Live from New York, it's the show that had to remind themselves they're not actually a Houston Rockets fan.
Nick Wright· Host0:05
Yes, you are.
Kevin Wildes· Host0:06
I'm like- Yes ... why am I so upset?
Nick Wright· Host0:08
You have been on the Rockets for years.
Kevin Wildes· Host0:11
I, I was, but I was upset like they're my childhood team.
Nick Wright· Host0:13
They, they... Well, that's how you talk about them.
Kevin Wildes· Host0:16
I started to get mad.
Nick Wright· Host0:16
Oh, and not only that, but who's your guy?
Kevin Wildes· Host0:18
He needs to toughen up.
Nick Wright· Host0:19
Shazul.
Kevin Wildes· Host0:19
We're in the playoffs.
Nick Wright· Host0:20
I, I know.
Kevin Wildes· Host0:21
So, referees, they're not calling it. [laughs] Okay? Stop.
Nick Wright· Host0:25
[laughs] And it, it's- I'm not from Houston. Yes, but you also- I have one copyright and I'm, like, all in. Yeah, you- [laughs] Also, though, you... We all root for our takes.
Kevin Wildes· Host0:36
Gosh darn it.
Nick Wright· Host0:36
And you yelled at me every time I included Lakers in title pie. You thought it was outrageous that they could have a chance in this series, and yesterday you called for a Rockets blowout.
Kevin Wildes· Host0:47
I know.
Nick Wright· Host0:47
Not win.
Chris Broussard· Host0:48
I did say it was gonna be a route.
Nick Wright· Host0:49
Blowout.
Kevin Wildes· Host0:49
Eme's like, "We did a good job on defense. Okay, buddy- I- ... can we score some points?"
Chris Broussard· Host0:53
[laughs] This isn't the E'Twaun Moore- I don't know what- ... that I thought I kn- [laughs] Yeah, I, I... He's a little too- I told- Ooh You would think that they won the game last night. Right, right, right. I don't get it.
Nick Wright· Host1:02
I mean, that's what I, I told you, his game one- He must just know ... was gonna be like Darvin Ham's, "Oh, we got a plan for Joker." And it was ruy and you laughed about it for years. [laughs] After they lost game one, but he's like, "No, we figured something out," you guys were all like, "Oh, shot quality Lakers."
Kevin Wildes· Host1:19
Yeah. No, it's like- You know, we regret ... we gotta make shots.
Nick Wright· Host1:20
You think?
Chris Broussard· Host1:21
The adjustment was we're getting Durant back. [laughs] How's that work?
Nick Wright· Host1:24
Got you.
Kevin Wildes· Host1:25
