A real talk.

America's favorite game.

It is America's favorite game.

Don't you feel absolutely?

Nation is screaming for this there also screaming for amino acid.

First up, we're gonna take a page from Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta newspaper.

The Austin American Statesman asked if his team was scared of the Warriors in past seasons.

You know, he said, he said yes.

Ah, an added.

None of us fear L.

A.

The Lakers or the Clippers or Denver like we feared Golden State.

It's not like how we were scared off them.

All right, guys, is this b s a real talk.

Everyone put signs up.

All right, Wolf is your the outliers.

You go first.

I think it's BS because you don't want your owner speaking on your behalf scared.

Have another team, I guarantee.

Coast.

Did Tony and James Harden them would definitely disagree with his assessment of their fear level of the Golden State Warriors.

Now, is he not scared of the Lakers at the Clippers?

He was probably crazy for not being afraid of those guys because those teams up as potent as some of those warrior teams.

I agree with you.

In this sense.

The first thing I thought of when I read those comments was well, I'm sure all the Rockets players were thrilled to hear how sorry they were of the Warriors.

But I'm going this because I'm sure he believes everything he's saying and admitting their team had a sort of mental block is pretty honest.

But about the L A teams in Denver, just maybe, don't say that one publicly, you know, talking big in February.

So you remember a personal.

The irony of this statement is two years ago.

Down more, he said.

We're not scared of the right.

And at the time I said it's all right for the players and even the coaching staff to have that attitude cause they're the ones who are going into battle against these guys.

But I thought it was poor taste for down Maury to say that because he didn't have to go out there and compete.

Yes, he's putting the team together, but at the end of the day, general manager is a long term kind of view job.

Day to day is head coach and players.

I can actually give it to Darryl in this situation on Lee.

Because if we take ourselves back to that time, Golden State was so dominant, you had so many front office guys saying, you know what we're gonna plan for two years from now, we are not going to go at them this year or the next year.

We're gonna give it about a three year window is what we're gonna target tour toward.

And Houston was really the only started loading up to say no, no, no, We're going at them right now, but that's not his place to do the tough talk agreement.

Brother is going to kick your you.

No, no, no, no.

Don't put me in that.

Let him be the one that talks that I wanted my brother talking all of that.

I hope you watching this.

I hope my big brother's watching this here piece that throw me into the fight like it was like, No, my brother is not afraid of anybody.

And they had the Warriors on the on the ropes until Chris Paul pulled his hamstring.

So I disagree with that whole fear factor stuff.

Thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube.
