Reed Sheppard: “Amen told me in the weight room just a minute ago, he said, ‘But if you take one more dribble when you're open and there’s no shooting, I’m gonna punch you in the face.’”

Udoka on Cam Whitmore: "Some of the things we stressed offensively, defensively for improvement we wanted to see (from) him and he'd be a little up and down with that. But happy for the opportunity he's getting now and hopefully takes advantage of that." #Rockets #NBAsky
Rockets coach Ime Udoka on why things didn't work out with Cam Whitmore in Houston: "We've kind of always had depth since I've been here, and he kind of got caught in that shuffle."

#Rockets guards will have their handful with POR on Friday's NBA Cup game.
Man the Blazers just meet every single ball-handler right up at or around halfcourt. No free trips bringing the ball up the floor.

Really gonna need the #Rockets to win today vs MIL. Need to cleanse the pallet from that SAS loss. Rockets don't play again until Wednesday. Can't have that negative energy linger.

With Suns Jalen Green re-injuring his hamstring last night it is probably safe to assume he will not be available for the Suns when they play the #Rockets on 11/24 and at Toyota Center on 12/5.

Jalen Green re-injured his hamstring. Damn. Expect him to be out a while.
