Houston Rockets Practice Interviews: Alperen Sengun, Steven Adams and Head Coach Ime Udoka

Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka joins The Matt Thomas Show to preview the first of two consecutive games against the Suns in Phoenix. The last time these Western Conference teams met, the Rockets hosted the Suns and beat them 114-110. However, tonight's rematch could be the first time this season the Rockets are without guard Jalen Green in the lineup, who is currently listed as questionable with illness. "Health is premium for our guys," Udoka said. Nevertheless, Udoka is confident in rookie Amen Thompson's ability to step up if Green is out. Despite winning over the Suns on February 23, the Rockets struggled to guard center Bol Bol, who scored 25 points, and even faced difficulty with Chet Holmgren in their last two games against the Oklahoma City Thunder. These long centers "are playing a lot on the perimeter," but "the game has changed and you really have to adapt with it." The Rockets' last two games were against the Thunder, and the next two are against the Suns. However, Udoka is not opposed to playing opponents back-to-back. "There are some benefits to it," and it gives "a little bit of a playoff atmosphere."

Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka joins The Matt Thomas Show to recap the 132-129 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday. Guard Fred VanVleet was missing from the lineup due to a left adductor strain, and Udoka breaks down the strategy moving forward without the veteran on the court. Younger players "play with a different pace," Udoka said. "We really zero in on transition offense," try "to capitalize on 3-on-2 breaks" and "kick out to shooters to get easy baskets." Udoka gives an update on VanVleet's injury, saying that it "looks like he's out for the rest of the road trip," and also the Rockets position with only a day away from the NBA trade deadline. The Rockets will travel to Toronto to take on the Raptors on Friday.

Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka joins The Matt Thomas Show to preview the matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans tonight at the Toyota Center. Guard Jalen Green played 186 NBA games without reaching 10 rebounds, but is now on a streak with three consecutive double-doubles. "Something just clicked for him," Udoka said. After a disappointing loss against the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday, the Rockets bounced back and defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 135-119 on Monday. "We want to get a streak of our own" and "try to finish off strong before All-Star break." Point guard Fred VanVleet had only 3 points but 14 assists against the Lakers. VanVleet is a veteran and is efficient at "taking what the game is giving him." The Pelicans are in town and power forward Zion Williamson is expected to play. The Rockets will look "to take him off his spots" and make "him work on both ends," Udoka said.

Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka joins The Matt Thomas Show to preview the Rockets taking on the Portland Trail Blazers tonight at the Toyota Center. After playing back-to-back games over the weekend which resulted in injuries, key members are returning to the starting lineup, including Fred VanVleet, Jabari Smith Jr. and Jeff Green. Udoka spends a little time teasing Green about his age and the fact that they used to play each other. Green is "looking young as ever." Due to injuries, younger players, such as Cam Whitmore, have gained more playing time. "There's nothing like experience out on the court." The Trail Blazers lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday after a controversial ending involving head coach Chauncey Billups attempting to call a timeout but the refs did not stop play. The Blazers filed protest with NBA, but Udoka says the Rockets are not underestimating a team that could be playing with a little bit more motivation. "They played well against a top team in the west."

Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka joins The Matt Thomas Show to discuss losing the last 4 out of the 5 away games. The Rockets lost to the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday with Udoka calling a timeout within the first 90 seconds of the game. "It wasn't a great start," Udoka said. With Dillon Brooks returning to the lineup, the Rockets look to get back on track tonight with the last game of their 6-game road trip against the New York Knicks. Udoka says the Knicks are an aggressive team, but the Rockets are "going to come out and match that from the start."

Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka joins The Matt Thomas Show to discuss the Rockets looking to get back in the win column after losing on the road to the Miami Heat on Monday. The Heat's "experience and continuity showed in" the 113-120 loss, Udoka said. The Rockets are in Chicago to take on the Bulls tonight, and Udoka predicts it will be a tough matchup. "Every game presents its own challenge," and the Bulls are "really good scorers," so the Rockets need to "keep their pace down." With Dillon Brooks and Tari Eason out due to injuries, younger teammates have stepped up, including rookie forward Cam Whitmore. Whitmore is "being aggressively offensive," but once he begins "knowing the personnel," you "can see the game start to slow down" and his "natural talents take over."

Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka joins The Matt Thomas Show to preview the matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Udoka says the defensive strategy will focus on Nets guard Cam Thomas. "He's the guy we really have to key in on." Udoka also gives an update on Rockets forward Dillon Brooks who has been out with an oblique injury. "He's getting work in," but "he's on a week-to-week basis." With various starting lineup combinations, Udoka highlights Jae'Sean Tate, Tari Eason and Alperen Şengün because they "have impacted winning the most this year." After guard Amen Thompson was out due to injury and then spent some time with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers in the G League, he is back in Houston and contributing to team success. An injury as a rookie "halted the progress," but he is "knocking the rust off," Udoka said.

Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka joins The Matt Thomas Show to discuss the 123-117 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday. During the loss, forward Dillon Brooks left the game due to a right abdominal oblique strain and did not return to the floor. However, Udoka highlights guard Aaron Holiday's performance as a positive. Center Alperen Şengün also had a good showing, completing his first back-to-back 30-point games. "He always initiated offense from different areas," and "we saw the defensive improvement," Udoka said. The Rockets are set to play the Phoenix Suns tonight at the Toyota Center. The Suns are 14-15 and sit at fifth in the Pacific Division despite having all-star talent in Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant and Jusuf Nurkić. "It's hard to find that consistency" with a lot of injuries, Udoka said.

Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka joins The Matt Thomas Show to talk about the team's road losses to the Milwaukee Bucks and the Cleveland Cavaliers. "I felt like we didn't play our best at all," Udoka said. Shooting guard Jalen Green scored only 16 and 12 points in his last two games and has been benched late in the 4th quarter. Udoka says his advice to Green is to "continue to be aggressive" and learn to "read the game." Forward Tari Eason has been productive, and Udoka says its because "he plays with intense effort." The Rockets hope to continue their home win streak as they take on the Atlanta Hawks tonight at the Toyota Center.

Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka joins The Matt Thomas Show to talk about the team's road struggles, but also their successes at home with a current 10-game home win streak. "We want to translate what we're doing at home to on the road," Udoka said. Small forward Tari Eason has played well after returning from a leg injury. "He was itching to get back on the court." Shooting guard Amen Thompson returned to the lineup after spending some time in the G League. "He's a rookie that's starting on the fly," but "he knocked the rust off." The Rockets play the Memphis Grizzlies tonight in Houston, but on Friday, the Rockets travel to Memphis and Dillon Brooks will return to his previous home court. Udoka compares Brooks' intensity to one of his former teammates Rasheed Wallace. "The guys that you hate to play against, you love to play on your team." When asked about the fines that come with his recent technical fouls, Udoka jokes "you just add them to your monthly expenses."

Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka joins The Matt Thomas Show to discuss roster changes that involved assigning guard Amen Thompson and power forward Cam Whitmore to the team's G League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. Udoka also previews the team's preparation for tonight's opponent, the Oklahoma City Thunder, as well as Friday night's matchup against the Denver Nuggets. Udoka concludes by praising center Alperen Şengün, who he says is "one of the better low-post scorers in the league."

Rockets Head Coach Ime Udoka joins The Matt Thomas Show to talk about the team's struggles on the road ahead of tonight's in-season tournament matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. However, at home, the Rockets have found success, earning two wins against the defending champ Denver Nuggets. Shooting guard Jalen Green, who has a combined 59 points in his last two games, is showing signs of growth as the season progresses. "Aggressiveness doesn't mean just shooting the ball. It's making the right play, getting to the paint and creating for others," Udoka said. Udoka also commented on power forward Jabari Smith Jr.'s improvements from last year, saying "I don't think his percentage [last season] was indicative of how good of a shooter he is, and he's showing that this year." Udoka concludes by saying tonight's matchup against the Mavericks will be another tough game. Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving are "two of the toughest one-on-one guards in the league," Udoka said.

Rockets Head Coach Ime Udoka joins The Matt Thomas Show to talk about the team's last three matchups in California that all resulted in close losses. The Rockets "played well enough to win," but didn't finish, Udoka said. The Rockets look to get back on track tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies. With small foward Dillon Brooks facing off against his old team, Udoka said he told Brooks to "just play basketball." "I don't see him coming out over-hyped," Udoka said. "He sees the big picture." Finally, Udoka comments on power forward Tari Eason returning to 100% after injury, saying "he's almost there," and he talks about what's on his Thanksgiving plate.

Rockets Head Coach Ime Udoka joins The Matt Thomas Show to talk about the Rockets matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. "You can't underestimate anybody based off their record," Udoka said. Udoka also explains the improvements he has seen in some of his players, such as center Alperen Şengün. "Pocket-passes to him in the middle is deadly," Udoka said. He also comments on Jalen Green who has learned to not "just be a scorer, but "be well-rounded."

Rockets Head Coach Ime Udoka joins The Matt Thomas Show to recap his back-to-back wins against the Sacramento Kings, saying "I liked our aggressiveness." With multiple players scoring, "it's a luxury to be balanced" and "guys are playing extremely unselfish," Udoka said. As Rockets get set to take on the Los Angeles Lakers Wednesday night, Udoka acknowledges that he is putting players on tough matchups, especially with the history between Dillon Brooks and LeBron James, but Udoka encourages Brooks's mentality. With Udoka previously saying that Tari Eason "looks like he is going to play [in the] 15 minute range," he confirmed this by saying "I'm excited to get [Eason] back out there." Udoka touched on their decision to move Cam Whitmore to the G League, saying "it's part of the plan to get him where we want him to be." Udoka wraps up the conversation by recalling his battles with LeBron back when he was a player, and the contrast between guarding him and coaching against him.

Rockets Head Coach Ime Udoka joins The Matt Thomas Show to talk about how Fred VanVleet has adapted to his new team, saying "I think anytime you come into a new situation, regardless of your experience, you have to get used to the guys you are playing with, the new coaching staff and everything we're trying to implement." Udoka also touches on improving defensively and fixing 3-pointer shortfalls by more efficient shot selection and confidence. When asked about Alperen Şengün, Udoka said "we are learning how to use him, and I think you've seen that through the first three games. He's starting to get more in his comfort zone and be the dominant player we know he can be."
