The Rockets have to make a critical decision on Clint Capela's future with the team because the Phoenix Suns are reportedly prepared to offer him a max contract. Houston needs to sign Capela to a fair deal before he hits the open market and gets presented with an offer sheet that could contain a poison pill. Signing Capela to a large contract will most likely keep the Rockets from adding a big-name free agent like LeBron James, though.

The Houston Rockets are coming off their ninth-straight win and are now officially challenging the Golden State Warriors. Houston is currently only a half game behind the Warriors and could knock them out of the play-in.

In the video above, Stephen A. Smith makes his case that the Rockets are beneficiaries of someone in the Celtics organization that was out to ruin coach Ime Udoka's career.

Also, he discusses how Jalen Green playing with his hair on fire, and the Rockets are executing at an elite level in the month of March. Smith believes this is all because of Udoka and the culture he's building in Houston.

Stephen A. finishes the video with a warning to the league: “The Rockets are coming. And it's because of Ime Udoka. Remember I said that.”

Be sure to watch the short video above for the full discussion.

Editor's note: Stephen A.'s video was recorded before the Rockets won their ninth-straight game on Monday night.
