‘The Rockets showed IMMATURITY in loss to Warriors’ – Stephen A. SOUNDS OFF 😳 | First Take

‘The Rockets showed IMMATURITY in loss to Warriors’ – Stephen A. SOUNDS OFF 😳 | First Take

Stephen I you’re interrupting me the Houston Rockets have almost kissed their playoff hopes goodbye after a 113 110 loss to the Warriors in htown to make matters worst t e of the Rockets who was sidelined with a season ending injury decided to taunt Golden State last night

Wearing a Warriors come out to play t-shirt while sitting on the bench something Klay T Klay Thompson wasn’t a fan of postgame that’s pretty lame especially if you’re not even playing like it’s one thing if you’re playing and you’re out there competing and you can back it up

But if you’re just going to be trolling from the sideline like bro we what are we doing like times we talk mess at least we’re out there competing I’m not going that’s all I have to say about that it looked like the moment was too big for a lot of

Players out there saw it looked like daring headlights a little bit uh either look soft or scared one or the other and that’s too poor too bad things for a lot of our guys to have and uh didn’t rise up to the moment like I thought we would

Rise up here he is there he is my guy big perk perk how was Easter how did everything go with the Easter table the whole thing it was good Molly it was good Easter was good you know I thought I was coming on Monday thought I would

Get an opportunity to see you represent yuk on Monday but I got a call a text and I was cleared from first take so I’m back in cuz Stephen A you can’t run you could run but you can’t hide cuz I’mma find you well I was I I I wasn’t I was I

Wasn’t waiting I was I was saving you the end the week right I was sending you I was saving you for the entree and by the way speaking of Molly she wasn’t here Monday perk she was out of the country oh she had she had a birthday on

Sunday okay I understand about Monday you know she talk about connecting with her on Monday I’m tell you she wasn’t here she was around she left us she left all of us I just want you to know perk’s here and he’s the enforcer now so you could just fall back Stephen all right

But you can answer this question how do you feel about what eay had to say in that whole situation I I I’m sorry go ahead per go ahe oh it’s on you oh yes I love it I I I love I I listen personally speaking I I believe my personal opinion

Is that is if eay udoka was still a coach of the Boston Celtics they might be Champions by now they might have won it last year um and you know the year after losing to Golden State I just think he’s that great of a coach um I

Believe in the brother and he has proven it because Houston has shown up and they’ve returned to relevancy now they faded over the last week or so and that’s unfortunate but what what what why did they fade he called it he called it like a coach is supposed to call it

He said it looked like a Dan headlights out there looked like the moment was a bit too big for a few players yes he did say that and that’s exactly how it looked give Golden State Warriors all the credit in the world Klay Thompson shoot 73% last night finishing with 29

Points along with Steph Curry and Clay was absolutely right is what he with what he’s saying if you ain’t even playing but you trying to taunt the opposition that’s problematic at least be on the court competing against them if you GNA taunt them kind of silly that

They did that showed their level of immaturity as far as I’m concerned when you’re a Houston Rocket but in the end they’re a young talented team on the come up I believe in them I got I got a lot of faith in them in the future but I

Looked at the Golden State Warriors and nothing surprising happened here the experienced dudes the Champions that know what it takes win games that matter go out there and handle their business and that’s what the Golden State Warriors did well well I actually love what e may udoka did in in the in the

Postgame interview because I know one thing about him he’s going to say it in the locker room as well to those guys faces and he’s developing a culture there right and I believe that players are a product of their coach now Stephen A I have no problem with the young man

East E and what he said far as you know uh taunting the warrior sideline like because a lot of people when you’re not playing okay sometimes you could get lost meaning that you’re not engag he’s injured he’s sideline with an injury that’s why he’s not playing so the fact

That he’s engaged with the locker room the fact that he’s riding with his guys I don’t see nothing wrong with that that’s not lame well I don’t I I guess you could put it that way what I’m saying is I don’t see anything wrong with Klay Thompson calling him out for

It because again what he’s saying is that if you go if you gon pop junk be on the court to back it up I understand he’s injured don’t get me wrong but I understand he’s injured at the moment in time but he was like in other words save

It for when you going to be on the court you know over the last couple months all we’ve been talking about right is the Warriors and the Lakers and rightfully so because they have LeBron James and Steph Curry now when people talk about the Lakers and LeBron James and them

Being in the play in tournament can they make a run you know everyone around our Network our wonderful colleagues they always say well you I want bet against LeBron so we ask the same question about the Golden State Warriors you know what everyone say I won’t better I won’t bet

Against Steph Curry but sooner or later sooner or later you’re going to have to pick a side and that and that time is coming soon and so when I when I look at the Warriors yes it’s too late because they’re in the tth spot right now and

You know who they look they’re looking like they’re going to have to face the Los Angeles Lakers if they don’t catch the Kings and move up but when I think about the matchup with Steph Curry and LeBron James since LeBron James has been in the Laker uniform you know who has

Sent Steph Curry home LeBron James when it comes down to elimination games whether it’s the playin or the playoffs okay let’s say for example let’s say if the if the Warriors do beat the Lakers and and make it to the postseason do you know what the Warriors record is against

The top three uh teams in the Western Conference the Nuggets OKC and Minnesota they’re one and eight so like my brother swagu always say when a person show you who they are you have to believe them and I’m not saying and I’m not saying no

Credit yeah I mean you know but I heard swag go said that I didn’t really dive too deep into that part of it Molly but I heard swag said okay so my thing is is this right are the Warriors trash do they suck no they actually a pretty good

Basketball team they’re just in a great conference and so they have dug themselves a hole and got behind the eight ball so much that it’s too late for them to make a deep playoff run well you’re probably right about that because obviously if they go against the Lakers you got to deal with

Anthony Davis um and and they don’t have an answer for Anthony Davis let’s get that out of the way first number two though is this I don’t necessarily think it’s too late perk and here’s why I saw him a new York Knicks last night and they beat the Sacramento Kings

And if You’ watched the Sacramento Kings they’ve been fading a little bit don’t seem to be the same team that they were last year Lakers only a half game behind them who’s to say the Lakers ain’t gonna catch them end up battling from that eighth slot with the seventh seed to get

The seventh spot and go up against the number two seat especially if it ain’t the Denver Nuggets the Lakers will be very very happy and that means that Sacramento would have to end up going up against Golden State because they’d be a ninth seed and if you got Sacramento and

Golden State based on what we’ve been seeing through this three through this six game winning streak through what the Golden State Warriors have looked like seventh in defensive efficiency since the allstar break fifth in offensive efficiency and fourth in defensive efficiency during this win streak looking at Steph Curry seeing what Klay

Thompson is still capable of seeing the impact that Draymond Green can have on the team look at kaminka and Pinsky and these brothers I’m saying to you if Sacramento falls to the ninth slot and they’re going up against Golden State I I I I I I I’ll bet I I’ll take my

Chances on Golden State in that game so so that’s what that’s what we’re doing now on first f h hypotheticals and hold no no no no no no that’s not hypothetical no no no hold on wait hold on wait a minute go to the the Lakers have a cushion against the Golden State

Warriors the Lakers are only a half game behind Sacramento that is a very very real possibility that’s not hypothetical I I’m I understand that but we’re talking about today the n and the and the seeding today says the Lakers are night and the Golden State Warriors ATT tent I

Don’t want to hear about ifs if if was a fifth we’ll all be drunk that’s your n that’s your narrative that’s no no the question is is it too late for the Warriors to make a Deep Run and what I’m saying to you is the question was who

Are you picking LA or gold to State you created that question at the top of the segement at the top of the segement that’s what you that’s what it is that’s what it is right now that’s not the question at the to that’s not the question at the bottom of the screen

That’s not the question at the bottom of the screen perk the question at the bottom of the screen is is it too late for the Warriors to make a Deep Run not who you picking the Warriors and Lakers okay okay well you answer this then okay

Well well talk tell me about okay like I said if they do make it out of the play in tournament and I’m talking about the Golden State Warriors okay okay they’re one- eight against the top three teams in the Western Conference they’re one and eight one and eight okay okay so so

The question is not if they make it out of the playin tournament can they make a Deep Run and I said and I said yes they got a chance what did I say you act like I didn’t say it I answered the question entertained are you not entertained I

Like that you guys are in sync today with the Wardrobe I just have to say something in full actually we’re not but go ahead yes you are you’re opposites you’re do you see anyway I feel like I’m at the wrong party now yeah yeah you don’t since you didn’t show up dress for
