Monday’s episode of “The Lager Line,” sponsored by Clutch City Lager of Karbach Brewing, explores the key takeaways from recent interviews involving general manager Rafael Stone, head coach Ime Udoka and other members of the Houston Rockets.
Hosts Ben DuBose and Paulo Alves explain why Stone’s remarks on Udoka’s role in personnel decisions should be taken as a promising sign, along with the importance of Houston’s draft and free agency decisions being made independently of one another. The show also offers insight on Udoka’s rumored hires for assistant coaches.
Finally, the episode dives into the NBA Finals between Denver and Miami and themes potentially relevant to the Rockets. Topics there include the role of Erik Spoelstra’s Heat culture and whether the evolution of superstar big man Nikola Jokic with the Nuggets can provide a template for Alperen Sengun and the Rockets to follow.
Monday’s podcast, which is sponsored by Clutch City Lager of Karbach Brewing, can be listened to in its entirety below. Each episode is also made available via flagship radio station SportsTalk 790 and all major podcast distributors under “The Lager Line.”
