Internal Growth is Driving a Houston Roc...

THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

We still believe in the Oklahoma City Thunder.


Dave DuFour and Es Baraheni check in after a 15-game slate in the NBA to recap Shai Gilgeous-Alexander & Luka Doncic’s heroic 40+ point performances and Houston’s dominant win over the Boston Celtics.


Then, Will Guillory, staff writer for The Athletic who covers the Rockets and Pelicans, joins the show to discuss: internal growth allowing the Rockets to hit another gear early in the season, Fred VanVleet’s return allowing his teammates to find their roles, the credit Alperen Sengun deserves for Houston’s long range shooting success, how Marcus Smart mirrors Ime Udoka and more! Also, what do the Pelicans have planned for Herb Jones, Dejounte Murray and Trey Murphy III?


And we end the show with a salute to Ty Jerome, Draymond Green and the Indiana Pacers.


Host: Dave DuFour

With: Esfandiar Baraheni
