Rockets Play-In Hopes Fade, Tari Eason Shirt Taunt, Astros in Texas Rivalry

The Matt Thomas Show

Matt Thomas and Ross Villarreal of The Matt Thomas Show recap the Houston Rockets losing 133-110 to the Golden State Warriors on Thursday at the Toyota Center. Rockets forward Tari Eason has been out with a leg injury but was seen on the Rockets bench wearing a shirt that read "Warriors come out to play," referencing the 1979 film "The Warriors." However, the taunt seemed to have backfired as the Warriors dominated through every quarter. The Rockets now sit four games behind the Warriors for the final spot in the Play-In Tournament, but the Rockets will lose the tiebreaker to the Warriors who swept the season series 3-0, making it five games needed to surpass the Warriors.
The Astros will take on the Texas Rangers on Friday for the first of a four-game series in Arlington. The inter-state rivalry picks up where if left-off after the Rangers defeated the Astros in a seven-game American League Championship. Hunter Brown will start on the mound for the Astros.
Matt and Ross break down the Texans reworking Stefon Diggs' contract following the trade with the Buffalo Bills, give their top walk-up songs for "Fantasy Five" and more.
