  • As playoffs loom, can the Rockets change the narrative?

    As playoffs loom, can the Rockets change the narrative?
    Mar 31 2026
    Led by a resurgent showing from Alperen Sengun, Houston (45-29) enters the final day of March on a winning streak. So, in their last eight games before the NBA’s 2026 playoffs, can the Rockets finally heat up and put themselves in position to make a run?

    In Tuesday’s episode, Ben DuBose and Paulo Alves break down the highs and lows of the team’s recent play. Topics include Sengun’s upward trajectory; if lineup and rotation changes for players such as Reed Sheppard, Tari Eason, Aaron Holiday, and Jae’Sean Tate are likely to still be in effect by the playoffs; and whether the Lakers, Nuggets, or Timberwolves should be Houston’s preferred first-round opponent.

  • Rockets 123, Heat 122: Game of the season?

    Rockets 123, Heat 122: Game of the season?
    Mar 22 2026
    In perhaps the most memorable game yet of Houston’s 2025-26 season, Amen Thompson hit a game-winning tip shot at the buzzer as the Rockets rallied past Miami. At 43-27, Houston remains at No. 4 in the tightly packed Western Conference standings, which would put the Rockets in line to hold home-court advantage in at least one round of the 2026 playoffs.

    Featuring Ben DuBose and Dave Hardisty, Saturday’s “ClutchFans Live” postgame show recaps all the key storylines. Topics include brilliant games from Thompson and Reed Sheppard versus a quality opponent; the odds of Sheppard maintaining his new starting role into the playoffs; and the history made by Kevin Durant, who passed Michael Jordan for No. 5 in all-time NBA points.

  • Failure to launch: Losses to Spurs, Warriors show ominous signs

    Failure to launch: Losses to Spurs, Warriors show ominous signs
    Mar 10 2026
    After two ugly losses in three games, the Rockets (39-24) have fallen back to No. 4 in the Western Conference and are close to falling out of the top four altogether — which would mean starting the 2026 playoffs on the road.

    So, what should Houston fans take away after a pair of concerning defeats to San Antonio and Golden State? Ben DuBose and Paulo Alves break down the key takeaways, including signs of regression from Alperen Sengun and Tari Eason; potential team-building implications for the 2026 offseason; and why Wednesday’s opponent (the Denver Nuggets) could be a friendlier matchup for the Rockets, relative to the Spurs.
