#Rockets drop 140 on the Jazz and are now 2-0 in the preseason. Great KD debut with 20pts.

JD Davison continues to be very solid. Needs to be in the #Rockets rotation.

Chris A. White 🐻 @fyrebear.bsky.social · 10h

They get 50 games. Hopefully by that point the Rockets will have apron room to put JD on a normal contract.

This might be the most "Baby Jokic" I have seen Sengun with 9 assists at haftime. Nothing like DHO Sabonis stuff. Sengun finding cutters everywhere. #Rockets #NBAsky

#Rockets were +10 in the five JD Davison minutes, best of any player on the floor

With Kevin Durant now in the lineup, Ime Udoka said he doesn’t have a desired hierarchy in mind for the Rockets’ shot frequency.

He did say that he planned for Amen Thompson, Alperen Sengun and Reed Sheppard to increase their usage this season so it’ll be about finding balance.

The #Rockets put up 122pts without KD and only 1 half of Sengun.

#Rockets player update for tomorrow's Jazz game.

Danielle Lerner @danielle-lerner.bsky.social · 1d

Per Ime Udoka: Steven Adams will be out for the Rockets on Wednesday. Tari Eason is a maybe (depending how his body feels). Udoka expects everyone else to be available.

That's exactly what I expect to happen if things trend positively.

Chris A. White 🐻 @fyrebear.bsky.social · 1d

With FVV out that opens up a guard spot. Clearly that spot is for Aaron Holiday. But there is a world if Aaron isn't playing up to the level that JD could sneak those minutes.

Chris A. White 🐻 @fyrebear.bsky.social · 1d

The biggest snowflakes ever.

Chris A. White 🐻 @fyrebear.bsky.social · 1d

Sengun was excellent. Looked just as good as EruoBasket. Hit all his 3s and FTs too which is an excellent sign!

Chris A. White 🐻 @fyrebear.bsky.social · 2d

For the #Rockets 1st preseason game I thought they generally looked pretty good and that was without KD & DFS. Hawks are a good team and they had their full roster participating.

Tired: JG
Wired: JD 😜

JD Davison has hit FOUR 3s in this game. The last one was a no dip 3 in the corner! #Rockets

Asked Ime Udoka what he wants to see from Reed Sheppard tonight.

"More of what he's done in the offseason and at times last year. Confident, aggressive on both ends, hunting his shots, making the right reads in pick-and-rolls, and him and Amen kind of manning the point guard together."

Danielle Lerner @danielle-lerner.bsky.social · 2d

Reed Sheppard will start for the Rockets tonight alongside Amen Thompson, Tari Eason, Jabari Smith Jr. and Alperen Sengun.

Kevin Durant will not play tonight, per Ime Udoka.
