Podcast appearances and mentions of Steven Adams

Featuring Ben DuBose, Dave Hardisty (ClutchFans), and Adam Clanton (SportsTalk 790), Wednesday's Rockets-Spurs game recap breaks down Houston's 111-106 victory over its in-state divisional rival.With the win, Houston (26-15, No. 4 in Western Conference) is only a game back in the loss column of second-seeded San Antonio (30-14).Discussion topics include efficient and clutch showings from Reed Sheppard (21 points) and Jabari Smith Jr. (17 points); what Ime Udoka is likely to do in the absence of Steven Adams (severe ankle sprain); and how the Rockets kept Spurs star Victor Wembanyama (5-of-21 shooting) in check.This episode can also be viewed in video form here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3iXsYBEj0k

After a prolonged stretch of mediocrity, the Rockets (26-15) completed their recent homestand at 4-1, punctuated by a statement win over a key Western Conference rival.By defeating San Antonio (30-14), Houston moved up to the No. 4 spot in the West standings, and the Rockets only trail the second-seeded Spurs by a game in the loss column.So, have the Rockets finally turned a corner, and are they a legitimate contender? In Thursday's show, our Ben DuBose and Paulo Alves debate the pros and cons.Topics include a recent regression by Alperen Sengun on defense; encouraging signs of growth from Reed Sheppard and Jabari Smith Jr.; the impact of losing Steven Adams (severe ankle sprain) for an extended period; and whether the team's striking home-versus-road splits (15-3 in Houston, 11-12 away) could make capturing home-court advantage for the playoffs even more important.

We've talked plenty about potential changes around the Texans' coaching staff, but ITL focuses on the biggest question: is there anything you'd actually like to see DeMeco Ryans change moving forward? Plus, Lunch-Time Confessions highlights something Nick Caserio did that genuinely warmed the OG's heart. And after asking yesterday what the Rockets' true identity is, the crew reacts to what we saw last night — a strong hint at their best path to success, especially with Steven Adams out.

ITL kicks off with Texans GM Nick Caserio speaking live to the media, reacting in real time to his season-ending press conference and zeroing in on comments that raised eyebrows — including something potentially alarming about the Texans' offense. The conversation continues with deeper clarity from Caserio's remarks, including what he said about Joe Mixon and how it could shape the offense moving forward, before Around The NFL hits coaching news like Mike McDaniel being set as the Chargers' offensive coordinator and wraps with What's Popping in sports and entertainment. Attention then shifts to bigger-picture questions around the Texans' coaching staff, debating whether there's anything fans would actually like to see DeMeco Ryans change, mixing in Lunch-Time Confessions after something Caserio did warmed the OG's heart, and reacting to a strong hint at the Rockets' true identity — likely their best path to success, especially with Steven Adams out. The show closes by revisiting more fallout from Caserio's comments, debating whether keeping Nick Caley is the right move, and letting Figgy's Mixtape bring the chaos with the return of rats at a Humble Walmart, reactions from Shannon Sharpe and Chad Ochocinco on the Texans defense, and more wild stories.
