00:00The Rockets, they lost over the weekend.
00:03They had like that weird day Saturday game against the Heat.
00:07And, well, I will say also, in fairness to the Rockets,
00:15that is one of the toughest trips,
00:17especially when there's a day off in between.
00:21The Orlando day off to Miami trip.
00:26That is one where many basketball teams have come up with bad performances.
00:36The Orlando night off, day off to Miami,
00:40and then have to play the Heat in a day game.
00:45A day game also as well.
00:46Not a night.
00:47They didn't get the whole night.
00:48They got the day game.
00:49So they did whatever the hell they did Friday in Miami
00:51and then had to play the day game.
00:53But still, for me, they end up losing by 10.
00:56In that game, if you missed it, it was fantastic to see KD hit that jumper
01:02and then express himself to Tyler Hero.
01:04I cannot say that on air, but if you missed it, go take a look at it.
01:08It was very clear.
01:09And Tyler Hero said some things, too, that kind of funny,
01:13that led him to say that you can understand why KD said what he did.
01:16But, again, Clint, I've told you this, and we've been talking about this,
01:19and this is a story that I will not let ride, 34 minutes, 13 points.
01:25I hope Tyler didn't make any bets on these things.
01:28Six rebounds, three assists, six of four from the field,
01:33went to the line twice, went one of two.
01:35That is your all-star, Alfred Shingun.
01:40Has Tyler, has Shingun hit the we're no longer going to bet on him spot anymore?
01:48It's funny you say that.
01:49Has he reached that point yet?
01:50It's funny you say that because when I was putting my board together
01:53for today's best bets, which we will get to at 520 later on down the line,
01:58when I was putting that board together,
01:59I was looking at an Alpy bet long and hard, decided against it.
02:04Alpy will not be on best bets tonight.
02:06Clint, he is going to get them knocked out of the first round.
02:10Oof.
02:10He's going to get them knocked out of the first round.
02:12If this is the production they're getting from him,
02:15and then now we are shoving the, hey, Reed, man, we need you to get us 20-something tonight.
02:24Jabari, man, we need you to consistently in a seven-game series give us 20-something.
02:28Hey, Amid, we need you to, this 13 and six, I mean, this is just,
02:32it is becoming such a routine and regular that this is like,
02:38you almost can't say, like, this is almost like this is who he is.
02:41Yeah, well, I can't speak to the Miami game because I was booked up and busy.
02:44I didn't have time to catch that one.
02:46But the interesting thing, Ron, you've been on a daily, weekly basis talking about this,
02:51about this falloff.
02:53And every time I watch a Rockets game, not only is it 13, 15, 16, whatever,
03:01he is working his ass off to try to get it.
03:03Shots are off.
03:04I mean, but I mean, he is, it is, it is hell night in, night out for him to,
03:10and it's not producing.
03:11So, yeah, I'm with you, man.
03:13I don't know.
03:15I'm serious.
03:15I just don't know what the answer is.
03:17I can see what's going on, but, like, I just, I just don't know what the problem is.
03:23If he is injured, I just need, I just want to come out and say it.
03:26Just that he's working through something.
03:28Maybe not even give us exactly what it is, but let us know he's working through something.
03:33Because, Clint, this is out of control.
03:35Like, this is a long stretch, man.
03:37That dude, as you said it, boy, he fights it to get to 15.
03:41Like, none of his shots or moves, or they look clean or crisp.
03:45Like, it just, it is, it is.
03:47If he makes it, he is, he is doing all kinds of stuff toward his body.
03:51He doesn't get to the free throw line.
03:53Well, it's the, the, the giving him the ball outside the three-point line
03:58and asking him to isolate is not, is a, a, a lose-lose situation for the, for the, for the
04:05Rockets.
04:05Like, that is not like, I mean, Astros too.
04:08That's a good point.
04:08But the, the, the running and moving and picking and rolling and, and him cutting through that,
04:13that's, he spends too much time away from the bucket for me.
04:15Tyler, we were talking about the, asking Tyler about the bets with Shingun.
04:19Like, I would feel comfortable betting his assist.
04:22That's the bet.
04:22That's probably the best thing.
04:24That's the one I was looking at tonight, to be honest.
04:25He gave, but he slipped into the three in his last game.
04:28The only reason why is because Reed and Kevin could hit shots.
04:32I mean, that rebound, that, I mean, he, he's, he's not even close.
04:35Like, he's not even down there to rebound half the time.
04:38Eight and a half.
04:38That used to be easy.
04:39Absolutely.
04:40Now, when he does get them, now they'll come, he'll get four or five right in a row.
04:43But, but it is just, man, he spends so much time away from the basket that I just, it would
04:48be painful to bet the rebound.
04:50He's moving around and it's like, he's got a piano on his back.
04:53Like I just, if there's an injury, just, I mean, I would feel much better about it.
04:57But his play like that, they, they, they not, they not going, they're going to lose in the
05:00first round.
05:01So, let's go.
