In this episode of Hold My Banner! This week, we’re diving into the Houston Rockets as we continue our NBA Preview series focusing on the Southwest Division.

In this episode, we break down the Rockets' off-season moves, including their decisions regarding key players like Jalen Green, Jabari Smith Jr., and Alperen Sengun. We discuss what these changes mean for the team’s future and explore realistic expectations for the upcoming season. Will Ime Udoka’s coaching make a significant impact? Could he snag Coach of the Year honors?

Are the Rockets a playoff team this year? We analyze their chances and the path they need to take, especially with the defensive prowess that Dillon Brooks brings to the team. We also take a closer look at rookie Reed Shepard and speculate on how much court time we might see him get.

Plus, if you’re into betting, we share our favorite wagers and predictions for the Rockets' season. Catch 'Hold My Banner' every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday on NESN's Youtube, Twitch, Facebook, and wherever you listen to podcasts.
