Zo's Podcast

The Rockets have a ton decisions to make as the lottery approaches this upcoming week. What if the lottery goes south of Houston? Coty and I come up with scenarios of what players we like in the draft. Possibly trading Eric Gordon to move up in the draft to become younger. We even discuss if the Rockets land a 2-4 pick in the draft.  

We discuss the possibilities if the Lakers, Trailblazers, and Clippers lose and how it can effect their offseason. Who are the key components to the underdogs? Devin Booker, Luka Doncic, and Nikola Jokic have reeked habit in the playoffs so far for their teams.   

I go over my first time experience covering the Houston Rockets inside the locker room, the bubble, and last season. We also break down the Eastern and Western Conference and the nastiness of the fans from Utah, Boston, and New York.  

Russell Westbrook is a triple-double away from passing Oscar Robertson triple-double record, so does this allow him to be in the top five PG discussion? Who should win MVP out of Nikola Jokic and Chris Paul? A great discussion takes place on why either should win. The Lakers have themselves in a tough predicament but is it possible they could be knocked off in the "play-in" tourney?  Are Nets or Lakers really this year champions or is it wide open because of the injuries and chemistry both teams have struggled with?
