Episode notes

Gave and Torrence make their return back out to the Lone Star State for the third and final time on their 30 Teams In 24 Days tour to talk on a Western Conference franchise that is part of the NBA's Texas Triangle in the Houston Rockets, as the two provide their thoughts on the recent news surrounding All-Star guard Fred VanVleet and the overall impact his absence will have after suffering a torn ACL that will cause him to miss the entire 2025-26 season.

On top of whether or not Clutch City's last two first-round draft picks in third-year wing Amen Thompson and second-year guard Reed Sheppard have what it takes to successfully run the offense in the absence of one of their veteran leaders under head coach Ime Udoka.

Including sharing what they expect to see from Alperen Sengun this year and if playing directly through the big man can be the answer to helping the Rockets survive life without a traditional point guard during the early days of the year, Jabari Smith Jr. and why their biggest acquisition during the offseason in 15-time All-Star and two-time NBA champion Kevin Durant is truly the right fit to lift Houston into contender status.
