Tuesday’s podcast episode of The Lager Line — sponsored by Clutch City Lager of Karbach Brewing — features a preview of Wednesday’s home NBA Cup quarterfinal versus Golden State and reaction to Houston’s recent 1-2 road trip against the Kings, Warriors, and Clippers.
Topics include continued matchup difficulties (amid 15 consecutive losses) against the Warriors; reasons for the up-and-down play of Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun; predictions for the NBA Cup knockout rounds; and why fans of the Rockets should still be quite pleased with a 16-8 start to the 2024-25 season and the team’s current placement at No. 3 in the Western Conference standings.
