Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) discusses the Houston Rockets frustrating 129-114 loss to the Dallas Mavericks after a promising first quarter. Jabari Smith Jr. ON FIRE early in the game, but the Rockets failed to go back to him over the course of the next three quarters, lack of urgency in transition, poor body language and effort leading to defensive lapses, Alperen Sengun foul trouble, and Usman Garuba's impact + Jackson shares the BEST and WORST from 2022 in the final podcast of the year. #Rockets #NBA #JabariSmithJr 📺 Subscribe On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/LockedOnRockets & https://www.youtube.com/@JTGatlinMedia 📲 Twitter: https://twitter.com/JTGatlin & https://twitter.com/LockedOnRockets 🎧 Follow/Subscribe/Listen: Locked On Rockets Anywhere: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnRockets Locked On NBA Anywhere: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA Follow & Join RocketsWatch: https://twitter.com/RocketsWatch & https://bit.ly/3wXJXcb Shop Rockets Merch & Use Code LOROCKETS10: https://shop.clutchfans.net/ Follow on Twitch for video game fun: https://www.twitch.tv/diedofbeetus If your business wants to advertise on Locked On Rockets, DM Jackson on Twitter or email JacksonTGatlin@gmail.com Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers: https://lockedonpodcasts.com/offers/ Built Bar – Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
