Hosted by Ben DuBose and Paulo Alves, Tuesday’s The Lager Line podcast previews the start of the 2023-24 regular season for the Rockets (at Orlando and San Antonio, then a seven-game homestand) while also offering key themes and storylines to watch as the year progresses.
Discussion topics include how Jabari Smith Jr. can build off an encouraging preseason; questions over Alperen Sengun’s fit with new coach Ime Udoka; perspective on recent transactions by general manager Rafael Stone to finalize the roster; and expectations for Houston’s final win-loss record.
