I asked Ime Udoka what he’s learned about his team since taking the Rockets job: “They’re more impressive than I already knew. Obviously, with the interview process, got to dig in a little bit as far as that, and the guys are really an impressive group.” – 8:09 PM

Dusty Baker said he’s followed Ime Udoka but the two have never met: “I’m glad he got another opportunity, and he has an opportunity with some outstanding talent. If anyone can develop that talent and win, he can. I feel they’ve made a good choice.” – 5:53 PM
