Speaker 1 (00:02):
Cheers, Rockets fans, Welcome to The Logger Line, an exclusive
podcast from the home of the Rockets, Sports Talk seven ninety,
The Logger Line. It's proudly served to you by car
Box Clutch City Logger.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
It is good Red Nation. Get Ready, Ready, Get Ready.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
The logger Line starts now.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Welcome aboard.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Game seven is happening.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
After being down three to one in the series, your
twenty twenty five Houston Rockets are now just one home
victory away from becoming only the fourteenth team in NBA
history to overcome a three to one deficit in a
best of seven playoff series. What's most incredible, this young
Rockets team is doing all of that against the Steph
Curry and Raymond Green led Warriors, who are basically the
(01:04):
biggest nemesis of all when it comes to the modern
era of this franchise. For anyone who doesn't know, my
name is Ben Dubo's. I'm the host of this podcast,
The Logger Line. I'm also the editor of USA Today's
Rockets Squire and a contributor to Sports Talk seven ninety,
official flagship partiotiation of the Rockets. We had a pod
posted to this lagger Line channel a couple of days
ago with Palo Alves, my usual co host, and we
(01:27):
both said our big fear going into Game six at
Golden State was whether the Rockets had already wasted the
so called fred Vin fleet game, in which the veteran
goes off puts you on his.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Back on the road.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
He did all of that in Game four as well,
but you ended up losing in the final seconds and
Dusk got pushed to the brink of elimination. Yet somehow,
in Game six out in the Bay, Freddy did it
again with a team high twenty nine points date assists,
all while making six of nine shots from three. Steven
Adams was massive off the bench with seventeen points and
elite rim protection. And with those two veterans leading the way,
(02:02):
the Rockets not only won erode game six against elimination,
but they did it fairly easily and really pulled away
in the fourth quarter. So now it sets up for
a winner take all Game seven on Sunday night at Toyosner.
There are no guarantees, obviously, anything can happen in a
one game scenario. All needs to be said is oh
for twenty seven. But the Rockets have now won two
straight against the Warriors, and they have absolutely dominated the
(02:25):
games in Houston since the middle of the third quarter
of Game one, So I do think the confidence is
pretty high going in, and it should be.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
I also think that.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
With the series shifting to in every other day format
in this the second week of it, you're starting to
see the advantages that the Rockets have with the younger
players and more depth becoming a bit more important. Anyway,
as far as reacting to what happens in Game seven,
and maybe a little bit of Game six as well,
we'll have a normal pod early next week. Today, on
(02:53):
this Saturday, the third day of May, the off day
in between Game six and Game seven, I've got a
special mini episode with a compilation of radio highlights from
Game six, because let's be honest, this is one that
we should all celebrate. It's less analysis, it's more celebration.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Today.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
This is only the second win in franchise history at
Golden State, in Rocket's layoff history, they were one in
thirteen going in, so this is a historically significant win.
It takes the series back to Houston, and it puts
you on the verge of finally finally getting that sweet
revenge against Steph Curry and the Warriors after all those
(03:31):
years of torture, losing four times in basically a five
year span from May twenty fifteen through May of twenty nineteen,
and beyond the obvious, another one of the perks to
the first round of the NBA Playoffs is that we've
got these local TV broadcasts and I'm guessing many of you,
just like me, have enjoyed hearing the calls and coverage
from Craig Ackerman, Ryan Hollins and that's a richardson the
(03:54):
usual team over at Space City Home Network. But there's
also a Rockets Radio broadcast that's hosted by Matt Thomas,
good friend of the program, personal friend of mine, longtime
major market radio host, and someone that's been closely affiliated
in linked with this franchise going all the way back
to the initial championship glory days of nineteen ninety four
and nineteen ninety five. So I want to make sure
(04:14):
that Matt gets his due as well. You can always
hear his calls on Sports Talk seven ninety the flagship
as well as across the various regional affiliates of the
Rockets Radio network, and I believe SiriusXM as well, and
unlike the TV broadcast, by the way, those Houston radio
broadcasts will extend into future rounds in the playoffs as well,
assuming the Rockets advance. Anyway, We'll be back with more
(04:36):
serious analysis and reaction in a few days. Keep your
fingers crossed, pray to whatever deta you wish that Game
seven goes the right way on Sunday night. Tip off
is at seven point thirty from downtown Houston. For now,
we've got a compilation of our good friend Matt Thomas
calling that incredible Game six victory, which, let's be honest,
was one of the most important ones for this franchise
(04:57):
in a very long time.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
With that, let's roll the tape, bounce past the shingoon
to his right for Jalen gets by Buddy heel to

(11:50):
Hey Steven, thank you very much for what you've done.
This was an incredible performance by you and your teammates tonight.
Speaker 8 (11:56):
Yeah, I was good mate. We came in and we
knew that they were going to come in like. This
is a winning franchise. It's always going to be a
tough game with these guys both, so it was good
that we responded well, stuck with it. That's it.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Pay Uh.

This is a tough building to win until you guys
got in your second winning here. What was the difference
tonight in those previous two games coming here to San Francisco.
Speaker 8 (12:16):
Again, I think it just came down to like execution
and uh and all that. Like we trusted our execution,
we trusted our defense, and that's why we're relying on
we're moving the ball. Well, we're not slowing down, Yeah,
I think I think that's the main thing. We need
to keep the pace up. We've always been a fast
paced team and we kind of let teams slow us down.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
They were hacking you bunch, but it felt like you
were getting more and more comfortable to free throwing with
every one of those shot of temps.
Speaker 8 (12:39):

some rips. Just throw it up and hope for the miss.
Some of them were going in, mate, So it was good.

After being down three to one in the series, your

This was an incredible performance by you and your teammates tonight.
Speaker 8 (11:56):
Yeah, I was good mate. We came in and we
knew that they were going to come in like. This
is a winning franchise. It's always going to be a
tough game with these guys both, so it was good
that we responded well, stuck with it. That's it.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Pay Uh.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
This is a tough building to win until you guys
got in your second winning here. What was the difference
tonight in those previous two games coming here to San Francisco.
Speaker 8 (12:16):
Again, I think it just came down to like execution
and uh and all that. Like we trusted our execution,
we trusted our defense, and that's why we're relying on
we're moving the ball. Well, we're not slowing down, Yeah,
I think I think that's the main thing. We need
to keep the pace up. We've always been a fast
paced team and we kind of let teams slow us down.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
They were hacking you bunch, but it felt like you
were getting more and more comfortable to free throwing with
every one of those shot of temps.
Speaker 8 (12:39):

some rips. Just throw it up and hope for the miss.
