Sittin Sideways

In segment 1 of this special two-part episode, we discuss the season up to the point of the first Cavs game and how the Rockets (and Amen Thompson) have blown our expectations out of the water so far. Then we return post-Celtics win to discuss how high the ceiling of this team and its players is.

On this special episode of Sittin Sideways, we break down the NBA Cup knockout win against the Warriors, go in depth on the controversial ending, and experience some much needed catharsis. 

On this special edition of Sittin Sideways, we're joined by Locked On Rockets (@LockedOnRockets) and Locked On NBA (@LockedOnNBAPods) host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) to discuss Tari Eason and Amen Thompson's increased impact and their potentially increasing role on the team, the noise surrounding a potential Giannis trade, as well as his experiences covering the team on the ground, and more!

We discuss the Texans' shaky start to the season, speculate wildly on the Rockets' upcoming season based on media day interviews, and more on this episode of Sittin Sideways.

Ike and Reezy discuss Reed Sheppard and the Houston Rockets' Summer League performance, Texans Summer Camp news, and basketball at the Olympics.

In this emergency trade episode, we take a look at why giving Brooklyn back their picks might not be the worst idea if it means betting again Phoenix, discuss our favorite picks for the upcoming draft, and take a look far down the road to give some premature hot takes for the Houston Rockets' 2024-2025 NBA season.

 We're making our picks for the Rockets' MVP, DPOY, ROTY, and more, with a few unexpected answers. We're also discussing the Texans' jersey reveal (this was before they dropped, we love them as expected), and talk a little shit about Dallas' loss to the Clippers (this was before game 2...). Enjoy! 

We discuss how Jalen and Amen enabled the win streak to build to 11 games before a certain unathletic guard in Dallas ended it for us. We also discuss our experience at the 2024 Rockets Charity Gala, and go into detail on the Texans' latest offseason splash, the Stefon Diggs trade.

 Rockets are on a win streak! Ike and Reezy discuss Alperen Sengun's season-ending injuries, Jalen Green's massive leap, Amen Thompson's development since joining the starting lineup, and the play-in tournament chasedown of the Lakers and Warriors. 

Is General Manager Rafael Stone's seat getting hotter? Ike and Reezy discuss the direction of the Rockets lately, considering Jalen's regression to inefficient play, Sengun's consistent production, shaky contributions from veterans, and promising performances from the rest of the young core.
