Vincent Goodwill: Can you see Houston making a move to get to the top of the Western Conference and playing in May and June? Tim MacMahon: I don't think the Rockets… They've got a bunch of picks, and they're not burning a hole in their pocket. I'll put it to you like that. Because they really like what they have now. Their big move was getting Fred VanVleet back. Another big move, and he's still out right now, is going to be getting Steven Adams back. They put together a team that had a chance last year, and they just never got to see it because of VanVleet's injury and then Steven Adams' injury. I don't think the Rockets are a big mid-season shakeup team. I think they've got a group that has a chance right now, and they're going to let this thing play out.

Karl-Anthony Towns: "I would say the person that's toughest is probably going to be like DeMarcus Cousins or Steven Adams. I've probably in my life ever had to tag the roller. During defense, you're on the other side and you come over to tag the roller to hold him up so he doesn't DeAndre Jordan, alley-oop dunk, Blake Griffin, alley-oop dunk like that, Mitchell Robinson, alley-oop dunk. You try to slow down the roller so it makes it easier to deal with the pick and roll, the player, two offensive players and the two defensive players. It makes it easier and gives them more time to figure out the situation with the PNR."
