This is an I-Heart podcast.

The Volume.

All right. Welcome to Hoops tonight here at The Volume. Happy Monday everybody. Hope all of you guys had an incredible weekend. We have a jam-pack show for you today. We are hitting on eight teams. We're going to lead off with the Houston Rockets. I'm a little bit more bullish on them than most after their 0-and-2 start. I want to talk about their game against Detroit,

some of the things we learned and some of the things that I expect them to be able to improve

upon over time. After that, Austin Reeves, 51 point near triple double on the road in Sacramento,

show up Janus and Janus very much did not allow that to happen. They ended up dropping a game

against Cleveland earlier on Sunday. I caught the crunch time of that game as well. We'll have some brief thoughts on the bucks. After that, we're going to be covering the top five most impressive teams from week one of the NBA season. So jam-pack show lots of teams to get into. You guys know the Joe before we get started.

the Houston Rockets. Again, off to an 0 and 2 start. They followed up their heartbreaking loss to

Oklahoma City with an equally frustrating loss to Detroit. But followed up their heartbreaking loss to Oklahoma City with an equally frustrating

loss to Detroit. But I remained bullish on them to start the year. The Pistons, first of all,

it was interesting and revealing on several levels, but let's credit the Pistons. They're a really
