Ime Udoka has been the best offseason addition in the NBA

Ime Udoka has been the best offseason addition in the NBA

Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports Ime Udoka has transformed the Rockets from a laughing stock to a team on the rise. Three numbers: 17,21.22. That is what Ime Udoka wrote on the board in one of his first interactions with his new team during training camp. That was the Houston Rockets previous three seasons' win totals. Udoka wrote those numbers to remind everyone about how bad the team had been. It let everyone from the new additions like Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks to holdovers like Jalen Green, Alperen Sengun, and Jabari Smith know that everyone should expect and...

Can Alperen Sengun and Jalen Green co-exist?

Green and Sengun seem to get along. Can they play together? | Photo by Tim Warner/ Green has thrived in Sengun’s absence. Is this duo right for the Rockets? Groucho Marx once said it’s best to “keep an open mind, but not so open that your brains fall out”. Words to live by. Fans of the Houston Rockets should be keeping an open mind right now. So should the team’s front office. There are a lot of unanswered questions about this team right now. After all, we thought we knew what should happen when Alperen Sengun went down against the Sacramento Kings. The...

Houston Rockets vs. Chicago Bulls game preview

David Banks-USA TODAY Sports The streaking Rockets look for their seventh straight win The Houston Rockets are enjoying their second six-game winning streak of the season. Tonight, they welcome the Chicago Bulls to the Toyota Center with a chance to win a seventh straight and continue closing the gap between them and the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers. Again, no one would bet on the Alperen Sengun-less Rockets to catch either of those teams, but the presence of meaningful games in March is a new feature for this iteration of the team. Nothing is a...

Some things to observe over the Rockets final 15 games

Photos by Michael Gonzales/NBAE via How much will change without the big man in the middle? With the good news being that Alperen Sengun has avoided a catastrophic fracture or tear, we can now pivot to what we should observe over the Houston Rockets’ final 15 games of the regular season. In all likelihood, the severe ankle sprain and bone bruise to the knee have ended Sengun’s season. I will only touch on Sengun’s replacement options briefly as Charles has already outlined that for the readers of TDS. Had this injury occurred later on or lingered into the start...

Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY Sports The Dream Shake talks with Dr. Jesse Morse, a sports medicine expert, about Alperen Sengun's injury If you followed the Houston Rockets this season, you know a three-game road winning streak is something to celebrate, considering the Rockets have been one of the worst road teams all season.
