Seth and Sean discuss Rockets' G Fred VanVleet's ACL tear being just the most recent devastating thing to happen in Houston sports. Who worships these sports gods and why?!
Reaching this very intense part of the year with football season in full swing now, baseball season slowly concluding, and basketball season on the horizon, there was a lot of hype surrounding the city of Houston rolling into the 2025-26 season. Looking back on each league's legal tampering period during the offseason and free agency, wasting no time on contract signings and extensions, Houston appeared to have a very promising future across all 3 leagues in the years to come. However, taking a drastic turn recently as the Astros' playoff hopes slowly slip, the Texans' 0-3 start, and Shams Charania breaking the news that Rockets' Guard Fred VanVleet endured a torn ACL yesterday and may miss the season's entirety, things do not look as promising as they once did for Houston. Regressing a bit, Dan, Chris, & Ari share how they feel about Houston's current teams and their current positions, and which of the 3 could turn their season around before it becomes too late.
No ha arrancado la temporada en la NBA y los Houston Rockets ya han sufrido uno de los grandes golpes a sus aspiraciones en la Conferencia Oeste.Fred VanVleet, jugador fundamental en la rotación de base para la franquicia podría perderse toda la campaña 25/26 por una rotura del ligamento anterior cruzado de una de sus rodillas según ha informado Shams Charania.Justo la temporada en la que Houston lograba dar un salto en sus aspiraciones con la incorporación de Kevin Durant, valorado por los insiders de ESPN como el mejor movimiento del verano en la NBA, la lesión de un jugador clave como VanVleet podría obligar al equipo a reconsiderar su rotación o realizar otros movimientos.VanVleet, que la próxima temporada cobrará 25 millones de dólares, promedió la pasada campaña 14.1 puntos y 5.5 asistencias con un 34% en triples.En este vídeo analizamos en profundidad cómo impacta, cómo afecta y qué supone la lesión de Fred VanVleet para los Houston RocketsPuedes suscribirte aquí a Gigantes para apoyar el proyecto (https://www.gigantes.com/tienda/)Suscríbete y síguenos en redes sociales:
No episódio desta semana, o destaque vai para a lesão de VanVleet e os caminhos que os Houston Rockets podem seguir. Damos ainda algumas equipas que vão estar no nosso League Pass inicial e falamos da sondagem da ESPN sobre alguns dos principais assuntos da NBA.
Following the conclusion of the 2024-25 NBA season, the free agency period in the NBA is officially underway now as the Houston Rockets waste no time in aiming to make another playoff run for the 2026 season. Jumping out early trading for Kevin Durant followed by extensions signed for players like VanVleet, Jabari Smith Jr., and Steven Adams the Rockets look to be huge contenders coming out of the West for next year. Following the signing of Dorian Finney-Smith and bringing back Clint Capela on a 3-year deal, host of Locked On Rockets Ben DuBose joins Sean and Dan discussing the Rockets' offseason moves thus far and the possibility of making a finals appearance with a bit of a renewed Rockets roster.
As free agency negotiations officially begin around the NBA, the Rockets are continuing a busy offseason. With Kevin Durant already in the fold, Houston has recently agreed to new contracts with Jabari Smith Jr. and Fred VanVleet, and there are rumors that Lakers forward Dorian Finney-Smith could be an attainable target during the opening days of 2025 free agency.Sponsored by Karbach Brewing, Monday's episode explores all the various implications. Discussion topics include include how Smith and VanVleet's relatively inexpensive deals could the Rockets help fill out future rosters, as well as why Finney-Smith is a worthwhile target to potentially backfill the role of Dillon Brooks (traded to Phoenix in the Durant deal).

Kevin Durant is officially a Houston Rocket — and Rob is joined by recurring guest Jerry to break it all down.They start in Houston, where both agree KD's fit is perfect next to VanVleet, Adams, and a rising young core. Jerry sees a short but real title window, while Rob highlights the front office's commitment to fit and praises the vets staying put.Then it's on to Phoenix, where the return of Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, and a top-10 pick sparks mixed reviews. While Jerry likes Green's upside, both hosts question the Suns' head-scratching draft night — including a center overload and no clear point guard in sight.Follow us on social media:

When the 2025 NBA Finals conclude in a few days, teams across the league will be able to exclusively negotiate with their own pending free agents. With the Rockets, that includes names such as Fred VanVleet, Steven Adams, Jeff Green, Aaron Holiday, and Jae'Sean Tate.So, with Houston's payroll on the rise, what internal deals are likely to make basketball and business sense? Tuesday's podcast explores the parameters, including why new three-year contracts for VanVleet (around $90 to $100 million, in total) and Adams ($40 to $45 million, in total) could be the sweet spot for both the player and team.

Sean and B-Scott (in for Seth) discuss the Astros and Rockets losing last night.
Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA betting for Wednesday. The guys are ramping up for the NBA stretch run and provide best bets. The latest episode of the NBA podcast on RJ Bell's Dream Preview, hosted by Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers, covers key NBA topics as the regular season nears its end. With around 16–17 games left, they discuss team performances, injuries, and betting angles for the Lakers, Bucks, Thunder, Celtics, Suns, Rockets, Timberwolves, and Nuggets. The Lakers' situation is a focal point, especially LeBron James' groin injury, sidelining him for 1–2 weeks. Mackenzie, holding an under 49.5 wins bet on the Lakers, sees hope as they've lost to the Celtics and Nets. With a tough schedule ahead, including games against the Thunder, Bucks, and Nuggets, he believes they may struggle to reach 50 wins despite improving as a team. Shifting to the Bucks, Milwaukee holds a 36–27 record with the sixth-hardest remaining schedule, including key matchups against contenders. Mackenzie projects them to surpass 46.5 wins and sees playoff potential, though he doubts they can challenge Boston or Cleveland. He also critiques the Kyle Kuzma trade, questioning whether he improves the team over Khris Middleton. The episode highlights a marquee matchup between the Thunder and Celtics. Boston is a 4.5-point favorite, but Mackenzie argues Oklahoma City has been the better team. He points to Boston's weak home-court advantage and statistical inferiority, supporting a bet on the Thunder. Munaf notes Oklahoma City's impressive 24-7 road record and believes Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will exploit Boston's defense. The Suns' fading playoff hopes are another focus. With chemistry concerns, including reports of Kevin Durant's frustration, Phoenix struggles to stay competitive. Sitting outside the play-in tournament, they must overtake the struggling Mavericks. However, Munaf and Mackenzie question their motivation, especially given recent locker-room tension. Meanwhile, the Rockets, currently fifth in the West at 40–25, are dealing with depth issues. Injuries to Amen Thompson and Fred VanVleet complicate their guard rotation. Mackenzie sees value in betting on Phoenix, given Houston's instability and VanVleet's struggles. Munaf agrees, predicting strong performances from Durant and Booker. Next, the Timberwolves vs. Nuggets matchup is analyzed. Denver, a 3.5-point home favorite, seeks revenge after losing twice in Minnesota. Mackenzie leans toward a Nuggets moneyline bet, citing their superior clutch play and Nikola Jokić's ability to dominate late in games. He notes Denver's outstanding home record, making them a solid bet. Munaf's best bet is the over (237.5) in Mavericks vs. Spurs. He highlights San Antonio's poor defense without Victor Wembanyama, leading to high-scoring games. The Spurs have allowed an average of 256 combined points in their last six contests. Despite missing key scorers, Dallas remains potent, and both teams play at a fast pace. Munaf expects a high-scoring affair. The episode concludes with discussions on March Madness contests at Pregame.com, promo codes for betting packages, and upcoming player prop bets. Munaf and Mackenzie tease their next episode, covering Friday's games. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
