Tuesday’s The Lager Line podcast runs down the good and bad of Houston’s 2-4 stretch out of the All-Star break, which culminated with Jalen Green’s strong showing during Saturday’s win in Phoenix. Hosts Ben DuBose and Paulo Alves break down Ime Udoka’s new emphasis on 3-point volume, as well as the unfortunate news of Tari Eason (left tibia surgery) being lost for the season.
In addition, with the star-studded Los Angeles Clippers headed to Houston for Wednesday’s nationally televised game, this episode revisits the 2023 offseason and debates whether Fred VanVleet over James Harden remains the correct choice for the Rockets.
