Do me one solid favor and smash that doorbell. That’s the like button here if you’re new. I don’t know about all of you, but I don’t walk into someone’s house without ringing that doorbell. And this the house that you all helped me build. So, thank you very much. We got M in the chat. We got Kamaya in the house. Hawks fan says, “I want Yankees baseball to return.” Dude, who are you telling, bro? Who are you telling? Hawks fan. God, I miss baseball so much, man. I miss baseball. And fun fact, Hawks fan, you want to Here’s here’s a couple of dates for you, Hawks fan. We’re 121 days away until opening night. We’re 121 days until opening night. You hear me? But who’s counting? Who is counting? How are we feeling everybody? Happy Monday to you all. I know it’s a late night. So, Cinemax is back in the chat. Cinemax, where Max Covers TV goes live after dark. So, it’s going to be another late night here. Um 9:30 start time. Well, tip off is about 10 minutes from now. The Bob says, “We’re going to blink and it’s going to be spring training, Maximus.” That’s what I’m talking about, bro. That’s what I’m talking about. Right now, we’re 88 days away until spring training starts, like the games begin. So, 88 days until baseball is back on the diamond. And like the bop says, you’ll blink, it’ll be over. It’ll be right there in spring training. Jacob, what’s going on, man? Matt Murphy says, “What’s up, bro? You do basketball also.” Nice. Not only am I a Jay’s fan, as you know, but I’m also a Raptors fan. Raptors just beat the uh Cavs, dude. Raptors just beat the Cavs. So, I was watching that game as uh I was getting everything ready for tonight’s stream. But yeah, dude, that was a good win by you guys. And they’re playing well, too, man. Be says, “Cavs lose to the Raptors again.” Yeah, the Raptors swept the Cavs. Max, did I show Adelina the stream? I said, “Hey, look, it’s Max.” She said, “No, that’s not Max. That’s Peepaw.” She did call me Peepaw uh when when uh we were going trick-or-treating. Bro, how long is spring training? It’s six weeks, Kamaya. The reason being is because uh they need to get the pitchers, you know, back in the swing of things. So, it’s six weeks. The Raptors own the Cavs, says Jacob. Yo, your Steelers stink, man. Your Steelers stink. Damn. Eight in a row. Holy crap. I didn’t know the Raptors on a eight or eight game win streak. That’s awesome. What’s up, Jersey Tugging? You’re cool as heck, Max, but today I bet the Suns to win. No, don’t you dare. I got a little small parlay in nothing crazy tonight. Your boy hit on some NFL last night. I was up 160 all day, so I already cashed out for the NFL. So, tonight we’re trying to double it down on some NBA, baby. Um, I did a 10 $10 three-leg parlay. I did Shane Goon over 10 and a half rebounds, Shangon over 24 and a half points, and Amond Thompson over 19.5 points. $10.78 bucks. Nothing crazy, but uh that’s what I’m rocking tonight. What’s up? Be says, “How do you do the Yankees and the Rockets?” Well, I grew up a Tracy McGrady fan, so I grew up a Rockets fan. I used to live in Louisiana, so I got all the Rockets uh games over there. And I used to watch, you know, T-Mac and Yao and Chuck Hayes and Shane Badier and all those guys back in the day. And I just stayed a Rockets fan, Yankees fan because my family is from New York. My mom’s side is from New York, but I grew up in Florida, but I lived in Louisiana for four years. Fun fact, there’s the breakdown on why I’m a Rockets and a Yankee fan. Are you ready for the Packers on third? I’m so ready. I am so ready for the Packers to to beat up on the Lions on Thanksgiving once again. You have the Jay sign Tucker and Bo. Yep. How about that trade yesterday? Marcus Simeon going to the Mets for Brennan Nemo. That’s a pretty big trade in MLB. Let’s talk about the lineups real quick before tip. Um, no KD tonight. KD is tending to a personal family matter. So hopefully everything is okay in, you know, his life. That’s first things first. Hopefully everything’s going well with KD and his family. Um, but he will miss tonight’s game and he will also miss Wednesday’s game against the Golden State Warriors. Uh, Ahmed Thompson is the starting point guard. We’re going to see Reed Shepard in the uh, starting lineup today without KD. He’s the shooting guard. Joshua Kogi is small forward. Jabari Smith is power forward. Alfa Shangon is the center. Also Adams is playing. He was questionable. They ruled him in. So that’s good news because uh, it would have been kind of uh tough to see Adams, Tar East, and Kevin Durant all out tonight. But uh it’s just KD and T East. Of course, Tar E’s out four to six weeks, so he’s dealing with an oblique strain. But um Dorian Finny Smith, still no Dorian Finny Smith yet for the Rockets. Still hasn’t made his Rockets debut. But um on the flip side, the sons of Roland Devin Booker as a point guard shooting guard is Jordan Goodwin. Small forward, an old friend of the Rockets. Dylan Brooks, small forward. He was involved in the KD trade, of course. Royce O’Neal, the power forward, and Nick Richards, the center for the Suns. Grayson Allen is out. Ryan Dunn is out. Uh Javant, is that Javvante Green? He’s out. And Williams is out for the Suns. And of course, the Suns are dealing with uh Jaylen Green also with a hamstring. He’s not going to be playing basketball for about a month. So, no Jaylen Green, our old buddy Jaylen Green. And we’ll see how Dylan Brooks plays. The Suns trying to play big tonight. Yeah, I mean they’re going to have to with Stephen Adams and uh Shane Goon. Warriors have injuries tonight, too. I think Jazz win. No, Draymond. Uh it if the Warriors have Steph Curry, they have a shot to win. I mean, it could be Steph Curry and everybody else out, they’ll still have a shot because Curry is him. Curry is him. Kamaya says, “I’m a LeBron fan. My favorite team was Cleveland Cavaliers.” I’m not mad at that. Do you still Do you still root for the Cavs or are you a Laker fan? Because LeBron plays for the Lakers. Let’s break down both teams real quick. We got 4 minutes and 20 seconds. Uh 420. Stay off the damn weed. So we got 4 minutes and 20 seconds tip off. Uh Rockets are third in the NBA in point score per game averaging 122.9 points per game. The Suns are 12th averaging 118 and a half. Uh field goal percentage, Rockets are 10th. Suns are 13th. Free throw percentage, Rockets are 15th. Suns are eighth. Rockets are the best three-point team in Atlanta. First, uh 42% from the three-point line. The Suns are fourth, 38.3% from three-point line. Rockets only make 20 uh 12.7 threes per game. So, that’s 21st. The Suns are fifth with 15.3 per game. Assists, Rockets are bottom six in the NBA with only 25.3 assists per game. The Suns are 14th with 26.8 eight assists per game. Defensive side of things, Rockets are the best rebounding team in the league, 49.6 rebounds per game. The Suns are 20th turnovers per game. Rockets are 16th with 14.6 turnovers per game. The Suns are 24th with 15.6 block shots. Both teams are right in the middle of the pack. Rockets are 15th, Suns are 18th. And then the assist to turnover ratio, both teams are in the bottom 11 in the NBA. The Rockets are 20th and the Suns are 19th. So, a little breakdown on both these teams here. And my final question in the chat, well, I’m going to have a lot of questions for you guys all night long. I got two questions. One, who’s going to lead the Rockets in scoring tonight? Vote now in the chat. We got 44 votes. Shane Goon leading the way with 48%. I’m going with Shane as well. I think that’s the easy pick. But uh Thompson, I expect Thompson to have a big game tonight. He’s going to be our second score. Shepard also Vegas has his uh points 18 and a half over under tonight. So they boosted him up. I think Shepard is going to be a big key to this game. Shepard last game against the Nuggets balled out, had 27 points, but um let’s see how he does in the starting lineup. And my last question before the game starts is give me your final score. What is the final score tonight and who is going to win this game? I’m going with the Rockets to win. It’s going to be a tough game. Both teams are, you know, Rockets are 10 and four, Suns are 11 and six. I’m going with the Rockets to win 117 to 110. What’s your final score predictions? Miss Ciney’s in the chat. How you doing? How are you feeling? My first and last question is, can I get a e-haw? Of course you can. Of course you can always get one. You can always get one. My question to you is, what’s the first mini goal? What’s uh Mac made? You think we’re contenders? Who are you uh who you are you a Rockets fan, Mac, or who are you a fan of? Thank you, Mac. Appreciate that. Also, please everybody drop me a like.

Me and Eric are going to be uh waking up early for work tomorrow. Let’s see if we can both make it through this game. I think we’re contenders, dude. I think we’re contenders. I mean, the West is tough. If you got the Thunder, that seems unbeatable right now. The Nuggets we just lost to, they’re up there. I think right now the Rockets, if you got to place them in the West, I think right now we’re either third or fourth in the uh West. Not by standing. I’m I’m thinking like contender-wise. Thunder are first. I think the Nuggets are slightly above us and I think we are right there at three or four. Kai says 108 to 102. All right. So, let me fix this real quick. I got to fix the uh game leader. Tip off is about to start. [Music] Here we go. Oh my gosh. Hold on, guys. Hold on. I have to do this every single stream. No, no points yet.

Kade Cunningham, 24 points, 11 boards, and six assists. Yeah, my my bet so far is not looking the best. I need some a lot of rebounds for Shangon. We need some Shangon boards. Shock only has one. So, how do you guys like this new like NBA um lineup, you know, with Peacock and Prime having all these games now? I wanted to mention that to you. It’s so crazy how they flipped the season. Are you talking about the Pistons, Ivani? JKP, what’s up? How did you feel about How’s comments today? It was pretty interesting to see what uh he was saying about the revenue and how he didn’t really uh give the reporter a straight answer on if he took a loss or not. Oh yeah, the Pistons, dude. They’re good, man. 13 straight freaking wins. But yeah, how said basically like if you take in all the uh stuff that they pay for like they have to pay the city of New York $100 million every year on February 1st and then they pay for all the sports science and medicine and all this other crap, you know. And so he’s like, “Well, do you take a loss in?” He’s like, “I wouldn’t say that, but just being around the bush.” Then he said Boone was a great manager and a lot of lot of just talking out the ars honestly. I mean he he said that he doesn’t expect us to be you know below $300 million on the payroll which they better not because we were pretty close already to $300 million. What’s going on Carlos?

What’s up Jay Escobar my boy who’s winning tonight right now Rockets are winning 41 to 30 timeout break May is also a favorite yeah Drake May’s in the conversation but I think Stafford’s got it man unless Stafford just collapses in his last six games I think it’s is yeah, Rams defense is great.

They have so many draft picks right now. Like I think the Thunder have three top 15 picks this upcoming draft cuz they own a couple of uh teams this first round pick. 5950 halftime. Did you see what uh Andre did you see what um Amay says? Tuya amay. He said he wants to take down the Dodgers. Thunder is low. Yeah, they are. man. Or rather the Thunder not win this year cuz they will be set up to win again. And yeah, they’re they might be good for a long time, bro. One of these three teams has to mess it up, Max. One of them. Do you hear me? Who’s it going to be for the underdog to win? Wolves, Rockets, or Jazz? Uh, Rockets weren’t underdogs. They were favorites tonight by six points. So, taking a look, let’s take a look at the first half stats presented by Into the AM. Go check out their clothes. It’s awesome. And I’m rocking one of their shirts right now. There you go. Into the AM. There’s the link. And Black Friday sales are are live. Um, Jabari Smith, eight points, three for six from the field, five boards, one assists, two blocks. Shane Goon with 10 points, one board, two assists. I have Shankun on the over on the rebound, so that’s not going to hit tonight. Uh Josh Kogi, six points, two boards, one assist, one steel. Thompson with 12 points, five for nine from the field, three boards, five assists. Damn, he’s filling up stash sheets, huh? Shepard four points, four assists, three steals right now. If you’re looking at the plus minus right now, Rockets are plus 13 with Almond Thompson on the court. That’s the best on the team right now. Steven Adams four points off the bench, five rebounds. Aaron Holiday 12 points off the bench, four for 10 from the field, four for seven from three-point land, one assist. and JD Davidson three points, two assist for the Suns. Bro O’Neal with six points.

Colin Gillespie has been their shooter. 13 points off the bench, five for seven from the field, two for four from three-point line, two rebounds, two assists. So there’s your player stats. Let’s talk about the team stats here. Let’s break it all down. Field goal percentage, Rockets 49% from the field, 44 for the Suns. Three-point line, Rockets shooting 42%, Suns 33%. Rockets shooting 88% from the free throw line, 80% for the Suns. Suns are out rebounding the Rockets, which is shocking. 24 to 18. Uh assist- wise, Rockets are way out assisting the Suns, 16 to seven. Steals, Rockets have six, two blocks as well. Suns have no blocks, four steals, and Rockets only with five turnovers to the Suns 11. Rockets have scored 18 points off those turnovers. So that is your breakdown, your tail of tape in this first half. What’s up, Black Pan? Where can I watch basketball? I’m from Brazil. If you have Peacock, it’s on Peacock tonight. Shout out to Brazil in the chat, by the way. Thanks for popping in, bro. Parlay hitting for a week straight, Max. Basketball and football. I I hit some Dude, I’ve been hitting too, Andre. I hit some NFL yesterday. I don’t think I’ll hit my parlay tonight cuz I needed Shepher or I’m sorry, I need Shane Goon’s rebounds. He only has one. So, unless he goes crazy in the second half rebounding wise. Wow. Jersey says, “I put a voodoo spell on the Rockets.” Wow. How could you, man? I thought we were I thought we were cool, man. Why would you do that to my team, man? Why would you do that? Pray for Val. He’s a Vikings. Oh, dude. Go Pack, go, baby. Go pet Go. We made JJ McCarthy look like trash. JJ McCarthy, man, he might be the one of the worst quarterbacks in the league, bro. He’s up there with uh he’s up there. He’s He’s not good, man. He is not good. 13 subs away from 17.1K. We are blessing up tonight. Thank you all so much. They sucker you into the point spreads just parlay money lines. I feel you on that. I took the Cowboys money line, the Browns money line yesterday. Cowboys came back earn me some money. So salute to them boys. Of course I took my Packers. Let’s go. All teams have been winning by two. Brazil would dominate the NBA. Oh, you you’re a baller. I bet on the Packers and the Bears. I did too. I actually had money on the Bears, too, bro. Glad the Rockets are shutting down Booker though in this first half. Only nine points. I’m from Florida. Yeah, that was a good game, dude. There’s There was a couple of good games yesterday. The Jags and Cardinals were a good game. Cowboys, Chiefs, and Colts. Um, Packers cuz they dominate the Vikings from start to finish, baby. How about Michael Parsons, man? Not talking about the cowg girls. I don’t want to work tomorrow, y’all. I don’t want to work tomorrow, man. I got work in literally freaking eight hours. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. It’s the first of the month. Get up. Get up. I’ve been a Rockets fan since I was a kid, man. Like, I had fifth grade uh school pitchers. I was wearing a T-Mac jersey. No, I’ve been a Rockets fan. The first team that I remember the Rockets having, they had like Bob Surah on the team. I was probably like 12. I was probably like 12 years old when I started watching basketball. Booker is a good scoreer, but this dude is always crying to the refs. I was really hoping the Giants would win. Dude, we needed the Giants to win, man. Packers needed that Lions to lose. And Giants do what they do very best, and that’s blow another fourth quarter lead. Only work two days this week because of the holiday, then go to shut down for two weeks. Damn, dude. This is awesome with pay. What are y’all hiring? Sheesh. I got to work basically all week, dude. Other than Thursday. Sucks. We’re close. Thursday, of course. But dude, tomorrow and Wednesday is going to be like hell for me, bro. See tomorrow. What’s the stream looking like tomorrow? Oh, there’s only three games on tomorrow. Damn. Okay. Um, probably going to be doing Magic and Sixers. I guess that’s at 8 o’clock. If I do stream Wednesday night, I’m doing uh Warriors and Rockets. I might do uh I might do two games tomorrow or on Wednesday. I might do the Timber Rules and Thunder for game one and then uh Rockets and Warriors at 10 o’clock. Oh yeah, since Steve franchise. Nice. Yeah, I have a Yao jersey, too. I actually have a Yao like statue in here somewhere in my room, in my studio room. I can’t. It’s too tall to fit behind me. You’re off Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. That’s awesome, man. You just got a raise last week. Nice, dude. Congrats, bro. When I was a kid in the 90s, I was a Magic fan. I remember the 95 finals very well. Rockets swept with Magic. Yeah. Yeah. Rockets won the championships when uh MJ took a break for two years and played B or played baseball. Yeah. Like T-Mac was my favorite player. So, I was like one of the biggest Trace McGrave fans you probably ever seen. T-Mac was my guy, man. Yeah. I can’t wait to get you some Thanksgiving turkey. Nice. Oh, you got a dollar raise. Well, hell yeah, man. So, Ran, congrats. I got my two-year degree in cyber security, but I won’t be working until next year since this year is already over. Oh, hell yeah, dude. That’s awesome, man. Yeah, that was a beast. He his foot you his his foot just gave out on him, dude. Unfortunately, yeah, Shaq even gave Yao like some praise. Like Shaq was like one of the toughest guards for him was Ya Ming. Y was so awesome to watch, dude. He was above his time. Like he was Yao was before his time. Like in today’s game, Yao would play just similar how he’d played back then. Like his game was above his time. Warriors Rocket should be a good one. Yeah, they should be. It It’s always good when those two teams uh match up, man. Oh, yeah. He stunk. He stunk at baseball, dude. And he got like uh you know, the owner of the White Socks gave him special treatment, you know? He he was already playing for the White Socks, like didn’t really have to play that many minor league games. Oh, dude, it was so risen. It was so awesome, man. Yeah, the uh the mid the mid-range little baseline shots. Money automatic. His uh spinning little hook shot that he did all the time. That hook was unguardable, dude. Like he would back you down and then just do a little, you know, that little hook. So, second half should start here in very soon. Shane Goon still winning the chat right now. But right now, the top score right now for the Rockets is Aaron Holiday. Yeah, exactly. 1985. He like went through the minors like like nothing. Imagine being a minor league player for the White Socks back then and you’re like grinding for years and then you see Michael Jordan come in and already gets the call to play for the White Socks. Yeah, I wouldn’t say always had blockbuster players, dude. after uh Tracy and Yao and all them retired, we our best player at the time was Kevin Martin for like two years and Kevin Martin was kind of like underrated too. He wasn’t bad, but if you remember Kevin Martin, he played for the Timberwolves and then came to the Rockets and then uh we had Kyle Lowry in his like first couple of years in the NBA. Well, yeah. T85 and the White Socks wanted to sell tickets, too. So, that’s why they uh they brought Jordan up. Shane Badier. Yeah. Well, Shane Badier was on the team when we were good again. Trevor Arza, I mean, we’ve had a lot of like low lowkey underrated wings. What? You work Thursday? Oh my gosh, dude. They kill you, bro. All right, so here’s the second half starting up here. Thompson with the inbound. Halftime show presented by the chat cuz y’all are the goats. Here is Shane Goon with the ball at the left wing. Richards defending. Picks up his dribble. Bounce pass to Smith. Smith left wing. Bounce pass to Shangon. Driving baseline. Spins. Puts it up. Tough shot. No good. Rebounded by Okogi though. Oki spins. Puts up a tough shot. It’s blocked by Richards and out of bounds off of Oki. Suns with the uh lock down defense in that possession. There is Devin Booker up the court. Booker top of the key right wing drives all the way. Passes it out to Dylan Brooks. Brooks backing down. Thompson spins. Puts up a mid-range jumper from the free throw line. Knocks it down. Dylan Brooks has had a good game so far, man. Shepard with the ball up the court he goes. Gets a pick by Jabari Smith. Dylan Brooks defending Reed Shepard. Shen Good with a pick. Shepard pull up three. Oh, baby. Splashes it down. Nothing but net for Reed Shepard. Devin Booker with the ball at the left wing with Smith defending. Dribble move. Booker picks up his dribble now. Kicks it to O’Neal for three. He knocks it down at the left wing. They haven’t played this yet. Or Andre, they haven’t played this year yet. Here’s Thompson all the way. Coast to coast gets fouled and one. De was that Devin Booker? He just basically like hugged him and threw him to the ground. Tough finish by Thompson. That’s a dangerous foul right there, man. He hooks him and like brought him to the ground. So that might be a flagrant foul right here. Lakers haven’t played the Rockets or Nuggets yet. No, Rockets. Their first back-to-back game is coming up soon. I mean, or back-to-back games, I should say. They’re playing the Jazz Sunday and Monday. both in Utah. So, they’re looking at this foul to upgrade to a flagrant. I think it will be upgraded cuz he hooked them. It was not like a uh basketball foul like he did that on purpose. Not that he tried to hurt him, of course, but like Deon Booker getting some uh some gray hairs and Devin Booker feeling the stress of playing for Phoenix now, huh? Just curious, why are we separating contenders with the teams that have the best record? Shouldn’t be Pistons up there. Oh, yeah. Pistons are definitely contenders come out the East. I mean, the East is wide open this year without Jason Tatum. And you know, if the Celtics had Jason Tatum, they’d probably be the favorites again to come out the East. But Yep.

Kevin Durant like this might be one of the first times in his career he’s not really needing like he it definitely is the best scorer. Nice steal by Jabari and offensive foul by Jabari Smith. elbows Dylan Brooks, but like the Rockets have pieces around KD where KD doesn’t have to be like, “Oh, I need to put up 20 plus shots a night in order for this team to have a shot to win.” Here’s Galispy.

I mean, Dylan Brooks has been their best player tonight. So, the fact that he has 5 fouls and now has to sit down. But they’re still in this game, man. They’re still in this game. Can you go to sleep? Can you go to sleep, buddy? Crazy, man. Simba is a crazy cat. You think Booker can get nine more? He’s got 11. I mean, he can. Booker can definitely get you 20, but he only has two points since the first quarter. That’s that’s the concern for you, you know. But now that Dylan Brooks is off the court, they’re going to need Booker to get more shots off. Max, think about it. If you can take out a guy like Harden and have him on your bench for draft picks, I just don’t I don’t know, man. They don’t need Harden, though. OKC is just fine. They don’t need anything, bro. Marcel says, “I need Booker for 18 and Brooks for three more points.” Well, Brooks has five fouls, so he won’t play until like midway through the fourth quarter. Um, Booker can get you 18. He’s only seven away from 18. But right now, Booker is See, four for 11 from the field. Brooks is eight for 16. So now that Brooks is off the court, Booker should get more shots off. But Houston’s playing some good defense on Booker all night long. Let’s go, Houston. Finish us strong. 7871 Rockets lead. I seen Booker for 28 after watching him drop nine points straight and got cooked. Here is Holiday. Puts a floater up baseline. No good. That’s a bad shot by Aaron Holiday there.

Here is Thompson up the court. Thompson with Galispy defending. Gets a pick by Shangon. Thompson takes it all the way. Kicks it out to Shangon. Top of the key with Booker defending. Backs him down. Spins. Picks up his dribble. It’s stolen. Oh, loose ball. Shangon falls on it. What are we doing, man? Aaron Holiday loses the dribble and it rolls out of bounds. Just a bad possession there by the Rockets, man. What’s up, Andrew? What’s going on, buddy? 28.7 seconds remaining here as Shenon checks out. Goodwin will inbound this to Gillespie. Gives it to Goodwin. Goodwin at the top of the key with Thompson defending now. Switches off with Holiday. Oki now defending. Nice defense by the Rockets.

Tipped out and Davidson has to put it up, but he doesn’t get the shot off in time. So, end of the third quarter. Rockets lead by nine. 8475. What up, King Fire? What’s going on? We out here. Yes, sir. All right, so let’s see how bad my parlay is doing. It was only three. It was only three legs. Only three. I don’t think any of them hit. Nope. I need eight rebounds by Shane Goon in this quarter. That’s not going to happen. But I am cooked, chat. Three points for Thompson. And then I need also nine points for Shangon. I am cooked. I was hitting these uh rocket same game parlays for a while, but right now I’m on a uh a losing streak. Taking L’s left and right, man. Stomping through, sharing love, screaming, “Let’s go Lakers.” Oh, man. Fly says, “I’m cooked, too, but the live bets been working for me, just not tonight.” Yeah, I haven’t been betting live bets. I mean, without KD, I thought for sure Shane Goon was going to have uh the most points tonight for the Rockets. I knew Thompson was going to ball out because Thompson without KD elevates his game. Thompson’s been having a good game, but uh I’m shocked that Shane Good only has three rebounds. I didn’t see Stephen Adams re I always try to bet Stephen Adams on the rebounds because like that’s basically all he does is rebound and you know defend the paint down low but he wasn’t on my uh for the props. But Thompson has six boards, seven assists. Thompson’s flirting with a triple double here. I seen Jabar the other night and thought he would give me 20. They took him out for too long. Yeah, I for Jabari Smith I usually try to bet his three-point shots. Uh tonight he’s only one for four, but I think it was two and a half. So I got a little nervous with the uh with the half cuz they had him at one and a half for a while and that’s you know he he takes a lot of corner threes. I thought Shephard would have a better game tonight, too. But he’s only at seven points. But yeah, Jabari, I think his overunder on points was 15 and a half. So, he’s he’s close. Oh, yeah. The one and a half. They had to move the line because he’s been cashing. Also, Reed Shepard, his points overunder was cashing like every night, so they moved his line to 18 and a half. I I stayed far away from that. Yeah, like when he was like 12 and a half, 10 and a half, dude, I was cashing every night with Shepard’s points. All right, so here’s the fourth quarter, everybody. Galispy gets the inbound, takes a pass midcourt, kicks it to O’Neal, back to Galisby. Rightwing three is good. Uhoh, the Suns cut it down to six. Davidson will inbound the ball. Gives it to Holiday. Back to Davidson. Rockets got to hold on to this lead, man. Gives it to Thompson. Thompson bounce pass to Capella. Capella holds the ball. Left elbow, hands it off to Thompson.

Kicks it to O’Neal. Richard sets the pick. O’Neal drives in now. Puts a floater up too strong off the back iron. Capella with a nice rebound. Good, good rebound there. Here’s Thompson all the way to the rack. Thompson gets fouled. I think it was before. No. Yeah, he’s going to the free throw line to shoot, too. Two free throws for Thompson. Gisp has been uh one of the best scorers for the Suns tonight. He has 16 off the bench, three threes. Booker is going to rest on the bench. Booker play the entire third quarter, I think. Thompson shooting two free throws. First one is good. Second free throw is good. Thompson knocks both of them down. 19 points, six boards, seven assists for Thompson. Now, here is Goodwin. Kicks it to Gillespie. I haven’t watched it yet, Andre, but I’ve heard it was a really good show. Gillespie puts it up. No good. Capella with the board. Gives it to Smith.

Back iron brick, but Goodwin with the rebound. Goodwin floats one. No good off the back iron. Smith with the board. Jabari Smith pushing the pedal to the metal. He gets fouled by O’Neal. No, I I know I’m behind on the uh screen a little bit because it’s on Peacock. So, I’m watching on Peacock, but I’m also you guys are hearing what I said about 10 seconds ago. It’s a delay from YouTube. So, no matter what, it is going to be some sort of delay. So, two free throws for Jabari Smith coming up. First one is good. [Music] Are you talking about my game stream? Am I delayed on the game stream? Brooks is not back in yet. Second free throw. Good for Jabari. All right, let me try to refresh it then. All right, I just restart. I just refreshed it.

Well, you know what to do with the Suns. Oh, you’re damn right. Where is it? Where’s that sound bite at? Finish him. So, a long review here, folks. Shangun needs to get you four points and Booker one more. So, no flagrant, but still an offensive foul. It’s Phoenix ball. No crap. That wasn’t a flagrant. No, dude. I I appreciate you, Dio. You’re making me uh It reminds me to play all the sound bites, man. Gonzaga just smacked Bama. What’s the score? Catch a shoot three for Brooks. No good. Shangon on the board.

I just said I haven’t heard Goodwin’s name. Then I hear turnover and offensive foul. Yep, that’s what he’s been doing. Shephard for one more three-point gets you 2K. Okay. Shane Goon hasn’t scored. I know it’s they’ve been doubling Shenon though like the second half for the Suns. I guess they’re uh they want to key in on Shangon cuz anytime he gets the ball he’s sworn by two or three uh Suns. That’s why Thompson’s just taking over. They’re letting Thompson ball out. But Thompson’s he’s having a f this is best game of the year for uh Thompson. Suns challenged this foul. Smith is Smith is still on the court. So yeah, D’Angelo Smith still on the court. I kind of wish Jaylen Green played. I want to see both these teams, you know, play again. Both fully healthy. Yeah.
