Why the next 5 days are vitally important for the Astros

PALLILO POINTS

The Astros got back on track with a win on Sunday, and have the Detroit Tigers coming to Houston for a 4-game series that begins on Monday night.

The Tigers are having a down year, to put it kindly, which presents the Astros with a great opportunity to string together some wins and make up some ground on the Yankees.

ESPN 97.5's Charlie Pallilo shares his thoughts on how this week is extremely important for the Astros.

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.
