Friday’s show sees Jackson, joined by Rockets Wire editor Ben DuBose, as they go over some of the themes present in the Rockets 102-93 win over the LA Clippers and more. Topics include defensive stat tracking and how Patrick Beverley really did get burned by James Harden multiple times throughout the game; the defensive identity of the team continuing to grow and improve with the Rockets now ranked No. 17 in defensive rating after starting the year as one of the bottom two defensive teams; Russell Westbrook’s need to take advantage of his style of play and maximize his output in the “Russ only lineups”; rotation speculation given the multitude of injuries the team has sustained to key contributors like Eric Gordon (out six weeks), Danuel House (day-to-day) and Clint Capela (day-to-day); a preview of the upcoming schedule for the remainder of November against seven playoff caliber teams in a row.#Rockets #NBA Learn more about your ad choices.
