Friday’s show explores what’s next for the Rockets after a 1-5 road trip that dropped Houston (19-21) outside of the Western Conference play-in tournament field, as things currently stand.

Topics include reasons not to be concerned about the squad’s recent defensive downturn — and conversely, why Houston’s season-long struggles on offense are more troubling.

The show also explores areas of potential growth and improvement, including the feasibility of changing Jalen Green’s spot in the starting lineup and how the Feb. 8 trade deadline could improve things.
