I asked Coach Udoka if him and his coaching staff put an emphasis on not fouling SGA or does he want his team to play the same way they have all season. “We know he likes to bait fouls so we have to be smart with that smarter than we were against Doncic.”

Rockets have averaged over 15 turnovers a game when Fred VanVleet is out of the lineup. In his return against the Suns the Rockets only had 9 turnovers. VanVleet return takes the pressure off everyone and should help limit turnovers. si.com/nba/rockets/ne…

I asked Ime Udoka how much he factors in all the injuries the Rockets have dealt with and the tough schedule into his decision on rather to make changes or not.

For the second time this season Ime Udoka was named Western Conference Coach of the Month

This morning on Fox 26 I talked about the big trade and of course the Rockets. In this clip I talk about if the Rockets will be making any moves before the deadline. Thank you again to Nate Griffin for having me on!

I asked Alperen Sengun about teams trying to play him more physically this season. Sengun talks about how teams sending multiple bodies at him. “I feel like it has always been like that. They are bringing bodies everywhere.”

Alperen said his ankle is fine but has had some issues with his shoulder. “My ankle is good I would say I have a little issue with my shoulder.” He went on to say he feels good physically.

For the Rockets to take the next step they will need Cam Whitmore to continue to play at a high level. www.si.com/nba/rockets/...

Reed Sheppard was named G League player of the week.

I asked Coach Udoka if he feels Jalen and Alperen are figuring out how to play at an elite level at the same time similar to what he saw with Tatum and Brown. “We like to involve those guys in actions together and not just one goes to work while the other watches and vice versa.”

Here Dillon talks about what Reed can learn from his time in the G League. “It builds confidence when he comes back up here not to be shy let shots fly and play your game.”

As expected the Rockets have recalled Reed Sheppard from the Vipers

Alperen Sengun still in sixth place after the second round of voting but the gap between 5th and sixth has increased.

The Rockets have recalled Nate Williams from their NBA G League affiliate Rio Grande Valley and have assigned Reed Sheppard.

I asked Udoka if this is exactly what they were hoping for when they traded for Steven Adams. “That’s who he has been his whole career”

I asked Dillon Brooks if he feels the team is getting more comfortable playing off the double teams sent at Alperen. “Al P wants me especially to cut and I was tired as sh*t.”

No surprise as Amen Thompson has been suspended for the Rockets and Mavericks game.

Alperen Sengun talks about his mentality when Minnesota didn’t send a double team for most of the game. Sengun finished with 38 points and 12 rebounds. “ I was just like going to kill it, attack the body be physical all game.”

Coach Udoka said Tari Eason is a game time decision. Will go through his pregame workout to see if he can go. Dillon Brooks was ruled out earlier today.

Jalen Green pregame.
