Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by Rockets beat writer for The Athletic Kelly Iko (@KellyIkoNBA) to share thoughts on the upcoming Rockets-Suns matchup, as well as discuss things we LIKE and DISLIKE about this year's Houston Rockets. While the Rockets are just 1-6, there are plenty of positives to the start of the season for this young team, can this group be better than we expect?

Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) discusses the Rockets 119-117 loss to the LA Lakers, the most competitive game of the season for the young team. Jalen Green's electric first half and pair of CLUTCH threes to bring the game within one point late, Alperen Sengun starting in place of Daniel Theis, leading to more ball and player movement, Kevin Porter Jr. controlling the flow of the game in the first half, Jae'Sean Tate's impressive individual defense, KJ Martin's impact and more.

Christian Wood and Alperen Sengun continue to build chemistry together, Kevin Porter Jr. sacrificing his rhythm for Jalen Green, the Celtics switching defense causing issues for the Rockets in the half court, what we're seeing out of Silas's rotations and more.

Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) recaps the Rockets dominant home opener against the OKC Thunder, in which Christian Wood showed his full array of offensive tools that the Thunder had zero answers for, defensive urgency from the jump, Kevin Porter Jr. bounce back game, Jae'Sean Tate doing all the little things, Jalen Green attempting to end Mike Muscala's career, the Mayor of Houston himself announcing his return to the Houston Rockets as a Player Development Coach before the game and more.

Jalen Green manages to score 20 on 4/9 3FG, but he and the Rockets struggled inside against Miami's physical defense, no Eric Gordon (ankle) or Jae'Sean Tate (back tightness) meant Danuel House Jr. got the starting nod, but missed all seven of his attempts, Alperen Sengun stakes his claim as the second-best playmaker on this team and the CPR squad led by Dante Exum attempts to revive the team in the fourth quarter, but falls just short.
