we're going to talk about the rockets not showing up to play. >> i was going to ask you. when you see, you have been there i haven't. when you see the mvp go down, steph curry go down don't you want to say okay here's our chance let's go for the jugular. there was none of that there from the houston rockets. >> does that surprise you? i mean that's what they have been all year. >> exactly. >> to me, it's what you saw remember the one year they won and they were done 0-2 and came back and won and everybody said don't ever underestimate the heart of a champion. that's what you saw in golden state today. the heart of a champion. if you are the houston rockets, i mean you don't know how long steph curry is out. let's hope it's not going to be long. >> sure. >> but you even up this series 2-2 and he might not play in game five and you come out and
