Ime Udoka said the Rockets were watching the end of the Nuggets-Spurs game in the locker room. On playing the shorthanded LA Lakers in the first round: "For us, obviously it's fresh that we lost two games to them recently and then kind of flipped the switch since then. Had a really good game against them on Christmas and obviously (we) know they're injured, but quality players across the board... It's still the NBA, they have some really great players there. We'll have our hands full."

Steve Kerr would not talk specifically about the officiating in this series, but did address it indirectly. "Teams basically just say to their guys, 'Just foul every time, they can't call it every time.' The playoffs become to me much more an art for the officials than a science." Asked about how the Rockets defend Steph Curry: "You don't think you're just going to bait me into ... What are you, James Harden trying to draw a foul right now?"

Ime Udoka absolutely tears into the officiating after the Rockets lost in Sacramento tonight. "Take your sensitivity and emotions out of it and call the game the right way. It's obvious right in front of you. John Goble, whoever it was, sees it and doesn't call it, I'm going to let him know about it."

Ime Udoka on replacing VanVleet at point guard: "Amen will slide to the point. Obviously, with him starting lately, him, Jalen and Fred have been doing it by committee. So Jalen and Amen in the first unit... Alpi will get his fair share of touches to kind of be a hub and initiate offense as well."

Dorian Finney-Smith would/will be a significant addition to the Rockets. Strong, versatile defender that hit over 41% 3P last year. Attacks closeouts. Lakers defense turned around when they got him and he had the best NetRtg (+11.1) on the team. Boosts Houston, hurts LA. #win

Ime Udoka said the Warriors went after Jalen Green with doubles/blitzes and the other Rockets couldn't make them pay for the strategy. "Obviously [Jalen] had a big game [in Game 2] so we expected that coming in. When he does his job, and has two on the ball and gets it to guys, they have to make them pay behind it.... Teams have done it all year. Their gamble paid off. We didn't make them pay with that, especially with the paint shots."

Fred VanVleet on potential free agency this summer: "This is where I want to be. It's definitely a family situation. I got a lot of love for our coaching staff, Rafael [Stone], the Fertitta family. What we set out to do when I had my free agent meeting 2 years ago and we're on that track. It was never a short-term vision. It was a long-term goal. We're on track. We're on schedule."

Ime Udoka was asked by Varun Shankar about the Reed Sheppard-Alperen Sengun defensive combination. "We have all the data to show what lineups work well, what rotations, what two-man coverages. That's one that's not at the top of our list defensively." He talked about how they can try to make that work, putting the right pieces around them to cover that.

Nuggets coach David Adelman told Ben DuBose that he believes the 2008-09 Rockets, coached by his father Rick Adelman, was a championship team. "I really firmly believe the team that lost to the Lakers in 7 in the second round, without Yao and without Tracy, was a championship team. I really believe that. I think a lot of people think my dad's best opportunity to win it was in Sacramento or in Portland, and I think deep down he thinks it was that year [with Houston]."

![Brian Windhorst says watch out for the Rockets and Spurs as Giannis trade locations. "Both of them are in the lottery... [Houston] has Phoenix's pick. They have a whole bunch of pieces on their roster. What if they hop up into that top 4? Look out there."](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1918308023069479264/media/Gp8vFqTW4AA7cUn.jpg)
