Houston Rockets Midseason REVIEW: Ime Udoka Coaching FRUSTRATIONS & Reed Sheppard's POLARIZING Role Houston Rockets face mounting frustration as Ime Udoka’s coaching and late-game tactics come under fire. Can the Rockets rekindle their defensive intensity and capitalize on Reed Sheppard’s offensive spark to stay in the Western Conference’s top tier? Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by weekly cohosts Madison Moore (@MadManLeaks), Brandon Scott (@brandonkscott) and Ben DuBose (@BenDuBose) for part one of a Rockets midseason review series, scrutinizing Udoka’s defensive schemes, inconsistent crunch-time execution, and the controversial management of Reed Sheppard’s minutes. Key debates spotlight the fallout from sending Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green to Phoenix for Kevin Durant, the impact of losing veterans like Fred VanVleet and Steven Adams, and the consequences for the Rockets’ once-feared defense. With the offense often described as “lethargic, inefficient and mistake prone,” the hosts argue over lineup choices, grade Udoka’s midseason results, and question whether leaning into Sheppard’s strengths is the only way forward. Are the Rockets maximizing their roster to make a serious playoff push? #Rockets #NBA #ReedSheppard 📺 Subscribe On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/LockedOnRockets 📲 Twitter: https://twitter.com/JTGatlin & https://twitter.com/LockedOnRockets 📲 Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/jtgatlin.bsky.social 🎧 Follow/Subscribe/Listen: Locked On Rockets Anywhere: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnRockets Locked On NBA Anywhere: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA For your next listen, check out the Locked On NBA podcast, where the season never ends providing national expertise with a local perspective.

Jabari Smith Jr. POWERS Rockets Past Pelicans, ENDS Shooting Slump With SEASON-HIGH 32 Points Houston Rockets power past the New Orleans Pelicans as Jabari Smith Jr. erupts for a season-high 32 points, breaking free from his shooting slump on his own bobblehead night. Can Smith sustain this momentum and become the consistent offensive weapon the Rockets need for a serious playoff push? The night is bittersweet, as Steven Adams suffers an ankle injury, raising urgent questions about Houston’s frontcourt depth and rotation strategy moving forward. Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by Rockets fan and YouTuber Bryson (@RedNationBlogga) break down Smith’s resurgence, Kevin Durant’s historic milestone passing Dirk Nowitzki on the all-time scoring list, and Alperen Sengun’s impactful second-half turnaround. The episode also spotlights Amen Thompson’s evolution into a reliable third option, Dorian Finney-Smith’s steady progress, and the tactical challenges head coach Ime Udoka faces with injuries mounting. With the upcoming clash against the San Antonio Spurs, the Rockets’ ability to adapt will be put to the test. #Rockets #NBA #JabariSmithJr Follow Bryson & his YouTube: https://x.com/RedNationBlogga & https://www.youtube.com/@RedNationBlogga 📺 Subscribe On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/LockedOnRockets 📲 Twitter: https://twitter.com/JTGatlin & https://twitter.com/LockedOnRockets 📲 Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/jtgatlin.bsky.social 🎧 Follow/Subscribe/Listen: Locked On Rockets Anywhere: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnRockets Locked On NBA Anywhere: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA For your next listen, check out the Locked On NBA podcast, where the season never ends providing national expertise with a local perspective.

CONCERN: Houston Rockets Need Kevin Durant MASTERCLASS To EDGE Timberwolves WITHOUT Anthony Edwards Houston Rockets squeak past the Minnesota Timberwolves as Kevin Durant delivers a 39-point offensive masterclass, but is Houston leaning too heavily on KD’s brilliance? With Anthony Edwards out, the Rockets still needed every point from their superstar to overcome a Wolves squad powered by Julius Randle and scorching threes from Naz Reid. Is this sustainable for the Rockets’ playoff hopes? Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by weekly cohost SportsRadio 610’s Brandon Scott (@brandonkscott) break down Durant’s big night, Reed Shepherd’s spark off the bench, and Alperen Şengün’s aggressive double-double against Rudy Gobert. Discussions include Houston’s ongoing offensive struggles, defensive adjustments, and the challenges of balancing minutes to avoid running KD into the ground. Plus, the hosts spotlight Jabari Smith Jr.’s recent slump, the importance of spreading the scoring load, and debate whether the Rockets’ current formula is enough for a playoff push. Can Houston fix their offensive woes before it’s too late? #Rockets #NBA #KevinDurant Follow Brandon and The B-Block Podcast: https://x.com/brandonkscott & https://www.youtube.com/@b_block_podcast 📺 Subscribe On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/LockedOnRockets 📲 Twitter: https://twitter.com/JTGatlin & https://twitter.com/LockedOnRockets 📲 Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/jtgatlin.bsky.social 🎧 Follow/Subscribe/Listen: Locked On Rockets Anywhere: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnRockets Locked On NBA Anywhere: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA For your next listen, check out the Locked On NBA podcast, where the season never ends providing national expertise with a local perspective.

Alperen Sengun RETURNS, But Rockets Get OUTHUSTLED By Kings As Offense Continues To MISFIRE Houston Rockets stunned by Sacramento Kings as their third straight loss exposes alarming issues on both ends. Alperen Sengun’s return couldn’t spark the stagnant offense, while the team was out-rebounded and crushed in second-chance points—a category they usually dominate. With Jabari Smith Jr. and Aaron Holiday struggling, and Reed Shepard seeing his minutes cut, is Ime Udoka’s rotation losing its edge at a crucial point in the season? Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) breaks down Amen Thompson’s big night, the puzzling decision to start Holiday over Okogie or Sheppard, and the pivotal late-game sequence that doomed the Rockets. Hear sharp analysis on the relationship between Kevin Durant and Jabari Smith Jr., defensive lapses without Tari Eason, and why the Rockets’ inability to execute in crunch time threatens their playoff ambitions. Can this talented squad regain its identity at home, or are deeper roster changes needed? #Rockets #NBA #AlperenSengun 📺 Subscribe On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/LockedOnRockets 📲 Twitter: https://twitter.com/JTGatlin & https://twitter.com/LockedOnRockets 📲 Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/jtgatlin.bsky.social 🎧 Follow/Subscribe/Listen: Locked On Rockets Anywhere: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnRockets Locked On NBA Anywhere: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA For your next listen, check out the Locked On NBA podcast, where the season never ends providing national expertise with a local perspective.
