S1E5: Houston Sports with Alan Lucas and Armani Lee

Now is a very eventful time for Houston sports - for both the good and the bad. The Texans are in first* (tied, big asterisk) and the Rockets fired Kevin McHale after a handful of successful, if underwhelming, seasons.

Alan Lucas stops by to talk about the Rockets. He follows the team closer than anyone I know. In fact, as this posts, he's probably at tonight's Rockets-Blazers matchup at the Toyota Center. What went wrong, where can we improve, who's the problem...

Plus, Armani Lee chimes in halfway through the show to talk about the Texans. The ho-hum team finally showed some life in Monday night's win over the (until then unbeaten) Cincinnati Bengals with a 10-6 victory. Are Texans fans getting their hopes up for long haul only to be let down, or are there some redeemable qualities to this newly motivated team.

All these questions and many more explored in the fifth episode of "The Mike Silva Show".

NOTE: We didn't even talk Astros, but I'd love to hear your take on the team's overachieving season. With the AL Cy Young Winner in Dallas Keuchel and AL Rookie of the Year in Carlos Correa, how bright of a future does this team have? Leave a comment to spark a conversation about this team's ceiling.
