On today's show, Ben Golliver catches up with SI senior writer Lee Jenkins to discuss Lee's recent cover story on the Houston Rockets. How did a case of the yips form Mike D'Antoni's coaching philosophy? What tactics has Houston utilized to satisfy its superstars and empower its role players? How serious of a threat to the Warriors are the Rockets? Will James Harden's iso-heavy style work against Golden State? At the end, a discussion of where Houston sits among LeBron James's potential free-agency suitors and how LeBron might find himself needing to employ a different approach in 2018 than he did in 2010 and 2014. Note: Andrew Sharp will return for Friday's regularly-scheduled episode.
