Our latest “The Lager Line” podcast reacts to Houston’s 2-0 start to the 2023-24 preseason, in which the Rockets have compiled top-five metrics in overall net rating, offensive rating and defensive rating.
Led by hosts Ben DuBose and Paulo Alves, topics include the team’s improved defensive principles under Ime Udoka; why Jabari Smith Jr. and Amen Thompson are among the early standouts; and whether Cam Whitmore can force his way into the regular-season rotation.
The show also explores two upcoming exhibition games in San Antonio, which should feature a star-studded matchup between Smith and Victor Wembanyama, 2023’s No. 1 draft pick. Wembanyama, a rookie, is off to a strong preseason start with the Spurs.
Today’s podcast, which is sponsored by Clutch City Lager of Karbach Brewing, can be listened to below in its entirety. Each episode of the show is also made available via flagship radio station SportsTalk 790 and all major podcast distributors under “The Lager Line.”
