The Houston Rockets are coming off Monday's 109-97 win over the New York Knicks to host the San Antonio Spurs. "I liked how we bounced back from the Golden State game," and "I loved our resiliency in the second half," head coach Ime Udoka said, who joined "The Matt Thomas Show with Ross" ahead of Wednesday's Western Conference matchup. The last time the Rockets faced the Spurs, Houston earned a 106-101 victory. While the Rockets and Spurs will be playing each other for the third time in the first two weeks of the season, the Rockets can't get comfortable against a familiar lineup. "We're challenging ourselves to be consistent regardless of the opponent," Udoka said. Jalen Green recorded 36 points against the Spurs on Oct. 28, and while he has had a hot start offensively, Green's defensive effort has improved with a Rockets team that likes to switch consistently when defending wings and guards. "What he's taken pride in is not being the weak link out there."

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Joining us right now to discuss that game and all
things Rockets is our friend and the head basketball coach
of your Houston Rockets, Imey Adoka, for his normal Wednesday
one o'clock visit. Coach, Thanks for the time, congratulations against
the New York Knicks. Kind of a strange, interesting game
that they tried to go with seven players, did the
best they could. You used your bench, you got some
(00:20):
great work out of your defense, got some good fourth
quarter work from Opera and shng Gun. Just a good
quality win against the team I think in the East
is gonna be pretty.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Good for them this year in the Knicks.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Yeah, it was a pretty good overall game. I liked
how we bounce back from the Golden State game and
you know, came out with the right mindset against a tough,
physical team. You know, I think we had a really
good first half, other than the last three minutes where
we kind of let them go on a ten oer run,
had a chance to push it from fifteen to twenty
went the opposite way. But loved our resiliency in the
second half.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
You have a young player in Amn Thompson that embraces defense.
He may you know that the way he made life miserable. Now,
Brentson still got his points, but he had to work
damn hard for him.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Yeah, you always look at the final number and you
look at the way he scored, the way he had
to work. And it wasn't just a man. Obviously Dylan
started on him, but throwing multiple bodies at him, I'm
in kind of finished the job there. And he's a
nightmare matchup for a lot of guys as far as
his size and lengthd on the shorter guard as well.
But you know, you look at nine for twenty four
(01:25):
more so than the twenty nine points that he had,
and that was.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Great to see that he was able, that he embraces it.
How hard is it? And you've been around a lot
of players as an assistant coach head coach, now, I
always say defense is more about one two than ness
of the mechanics of it. When you have a guy
on your team, whether it's here or in Boston that
just embraces the role of defense, that guy's always going
to have a roster spot free in rotation time.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Correct.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah. I mean if you want to be known as
a winning team and a defensive minded team, you have
certain players and for us. Obviously, Dylan sets the tone
with the first group. Fred's obviously tough, but guys have
grown across the boards, Whetheraster bar Jalen outpre in last year,
you see some growth and they've carried that over to
this year. But then you bring in Tari, you bring
in Amen, and you bring in these you know, big
physical defenders of Steven or whoever else it is, and
(02:10):
you have a nice line about there, and so yeah,
that was Marcus smart. You know, one defensive player here.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
He set the tone there.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Dylan does that for us, But our luxury is coming
off the bench with the guys are really good versatility
and length to size.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Jalen's number shooting wise have not been great the last
couple of games, but he got you eight points in
at fourth quarter. I know he is among the leaders
in three points attempted this year. If you were to
take a look at those shots and you isolated them,
are those hey, good shots and aren't falling?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Or do you want it to be a little more
careful in the type of three point shots he attempts?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Well, the uncontested ones are good and teams have specific
game plans, which you know, we played a few really
big centers to start the season. Obviously with Webmin and Yama,
we had, you know, some guys that were really dropping
and plugging the paint early on, and so those looks
were good. We missed them early on, but I think
he found his rhythm. Obviously been off a little bit
the last few games, but I loved how he finished
(03:03):
the game. You know, two for ten going into the
fourth quarter and then you know, goes three for six
in that quarter, makes three two big threes and has
three assists. So stuck, stuck with this state of the
course and didn't like get frustrated from some misshots. He
found other ways to impact the game, guarded well on
defense and really helped us pull out the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, I wanted to ask you about that last part.
Feels like defensively, his intensity has been pretty good and
maybe a little bit stronger than he was earlier in
his career as well.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Jalen Green, Yeah, he's taken on the challenge.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
He you know, he's has different matchups. We switch a lot,
so he has to know the personnel of pretty much everybody,
every winger guard on the other team, and what he's
taken pride in. It was not being a weak link
out there, and if teams are going to try to
target him, his numbers are off the charts against you know,
guy's isolation one on one, and so he's taken on
that challenge, improved drastically in that area and just makes
(03:52):
us over all a better team. So add that to
his scoring prowess and the playmaking that he's grown in
that area, he's becoming a more complete player right in
front of.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Rocket Tech coach Emo Doka with us here on Sports
Talk seven ninety, how would you assess Reed Shepherd's season
so far? Last game he stuck him with them a
little bit longer and he had a career high seven points.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah, readers find his way, and you know it's going
to take time for most rookies, but you know, more
opportunity it gets, the better he'll be. And so trying
to find him extra minutes obviously, and you know, we've
had some tough games where we've had deficits and tried
to come back or lost some leads, and so consistency
across the board will not only affect him, but will
affect our team in general. And I think my job
(04:33):
is to find him the minutes and continue to help
him grow as he goes, and so he's seeing a
lot of things for the first time already. You can
see the game slowing down for him and he gets
the shots we love for him to take, but he's
also taking the challenge defensive end and making the right
reads and the pick and roll. So he's going to
continue to grow and we look forward to him taking
those steps as he goes throughout the season.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
You mentioned picking a spots for him to get in.
Give us a case in point. Is that going against
maybe a second tier group, whether that's going against a
defensive matchup that you think he can work with, Because look,
when we saw him playing college hoops, the thought was, well, yeah,
he can he can guard some people in the NBA
when eventually get some repertoire and some experience out there.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Yeah, I mean, I don't think you know, he's not
going to be strictly against second team guys. We have
confidence in him and the lineups that he's been out
there with it seemed to be some bigger guys around him,
but he's gonna have to switch and guard as well.
And so we haven't played the big wings with Lebron
James and Kevin Durant and certain guys like that, so
we don't feel like we've had to hide him at
all or anything. But you have a man with him,
(05:33):
Tari with them, Steve, and you have some lengthy siyes
around him that can, you know, work some things schematically.
But he's taking on the challenge just about moving his
feet and you know, not reaching down, slapping down. He
has great hands, but not bailing some guys out. So
he'll learn the game as he goes and learned personnel
in the league. But I think overall you've seen him
grow already and things have slowed down fro him on
(05:54):
both ends of the floor, and so that's all it
would take him getting his feet wet one time, and
he's pretty quick.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Winning eighth game of the year tonight, coach, this will
be the third game against San Antonio. Look, there are
always gonna be scheduling quirks in the NBA, But how
do you approach this without guys going, it's just San
Antonio again?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
How do you do that?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Is it? Because Victor possesses so many things you have
to worry about, and that you don't think about that
on the schedule, but that you're facing the same team
for the third time in ten games.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Yeah, not at all. I think it was very similar
last year to start the season. And so we've seen
these guys in preseason and seen them twice already, and
obviously the game, the first game.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
At their place, we lost, so that should be enough
of a wake up call.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
And then we came back the second game with a
different intensity and mindset. And so for us, it's about
challenging ourselves to be consistent regardless of the opponent. Well,
Minyama presents all those challenges that you mentioned, but Chris
Paul has been playing extremely well. He's kind of rounded
into form a little bit. And they've had us some
veterans Herreson Barnes and some different guys like that, so
they're not the same team. And they obviously gave us
(06:52):
a loss, and then we came back and heart fought
win against them. But all we have to do is
look back at the last game against the Clippers when
they're up twenty seven points quarter and end up losing.
But they're dangerous from the start if you let them
get too comfortable.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Wimbat nine blocks in his last game. What is that
like for you as a coach with the message to
the team. You want them to be aggressive. You want
to still play your game and get to the paint,
but also be aware of Weimby's presence.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yes, it's making the right reads. It's picking your spots,
and you know he's going to be in a deep drop,
so the shots will be there. They're trying to, you know,
funnel everything toward him, but pick your spots and know
he's gonna come over and try to intimidate at the rim.
So our outlets and spacing needs to be in the proper,
proper places. And then you know, make them work as
well on both ends. You know, we crowd them with
a bunch of tough, active wings that we have, but
(07:40):
oupring got to make them work the other and like
you did last year at times, and so you don't
want to let them off the hook and just let
them roam free. We'll try to go out him like
Opera did last game with Karl Anthony Towns and wear
them down a little bit that way.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Lastly, if what for let you run.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
A couple of folks called in and said, Hey, what's
going on with Fred shooting so far and slumps are
going to happen. I think young guards emay would let
the poor shooting affect the other parts of their game.
But I'm looking at the numbers right now for VanVleet,
thirty nine assists in five turnovers, the defense against bigger
guys night and nine out is still superb. What does
(08:13):
that say about a guy that can give it to
you if not on both ends of the floor every
single night, tonight, last night, hopefully next future nights, he's
gonna be able to hit some threes and add to
the work that he's done by auditioning the ball off
and most important not to turn the ball over.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
And we look at the shot quality and the looks
that he's getting, and those are great looks that he's
made all throughout his career. But he's going to continue
to do the other things like you mentioned, I think
he doesn't let that deter him from running the team
and getting guys in their proper spots and taking the
challenge defensively. Understand that he can impact the games. And
if he had made some shots agains Charlotte Jalen made
some shots against Charlotte Alpa and made some out of
(08:49):
the gate, we might have a different story. Right now,
but you can't. Nobody tries to make a misshots as
long as they're taking the right ones and continue to
do the other things that help impact winning. We can
live with those misses and every the worm will turn
for everybody like they did for Jalen and al for
the last game. And we understand guys are going to
round and to form a little bit better. But yeah,
we'd love for those shots to fall, and we have
confidence that they will as the season goes off.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
And very lastly, you mentioned Alpi going against Wemby last
year had a lot of success so far, not nearly
as much. Is it a look when you talk to
Alpi about him, he's like he's tall, he's is there
a comfort that he needs to eventually get against him
or is it just you know what, no matter what
time of year it is, how many times you play
against a guy guy like wembeny, I'm just going to.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Cause problems for any center, much less yours.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Yeah, I think he's grown since last year and he's
the second year guy, so he's going to be better
across the board and defensively. But Alp for in the
scene at all from every center, basically in the league,
and he's had shorter guys, you know up under him.
He's had bigger guys who length on him, and he's
had success against everybody. And so he figures it out
as he goes as well, and we move him around
different spots. And you know, I think I attributed more
(09:58):
to a slower start from Alpie than and you know,
any defense that anybody's throwing at him, because he was missing,
you know, some pretty easy point playing looks that he
normally makes, and so you don't want to overreact to that.
And you know, you saw him find his rhythm last game,
and we expect out for him to be great and
have bounce backs as usual.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Thanks to the visit always coach'll seeing it tonight. Thank you,
and good luck against Spurs.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Thank you, you got it. You made a DOCA.

He's had bigger guys who length on him, and he's
had success against everybody. And so he figures it out
as he goes as well, and we move him around
different spots. And you know, I think I attributed more
(09:58):
to a slower start from Alpie than and you know,
any defense that anybody's throwing at him, because he was missing,
you know, some pretty easy point playing looks that he
normally makes, and so you don't want to overreact to that.
And you know, you saw him find his rhythm last game,
and we expect out for him to be great and
have bounce backs as usual.
