On January 12, 2025, two major explosive news emerged in the NBA:
- Ice and Fire: The NBA officially updated a breaking news due to dangerous freezing weather, considering safety, the NBA decided to postpone today's game between the Rockets and the Hawks.
Following the Los Angeles fire, the southern region is now experiencing freezing weather, making the United States a land of both deep water and scorching flames. A total of four games have been postponed, including Lakers vs. Hornets on January 10, Rockets vs. Hawks on January 12, Spurs vs. Lakers, and Hornets vs. Clippers. In the face of disasters, may our enthusiasm warm the cold air and stop the raging fires.
- Not Afraid of Trouble: American media shared some frustrated body language from Whitmore during the Rockets' victory over the Wizards: not celebrating with teammates and shoulder-bumping Ethan.
As one of the "Seven Sons" of the Rockets, he is highly regarded by the team, but his playing style does not align with Udoka's management philosophy. His eyes are only on the basket, and his defense is virtually non-existent. Now, he is also slacking off on the court, unhappy when not allowed to play and unhappy when allowed to play. Your personality and attitude have already affected the locker room. If this continues, being traded will be your only way out. At that time, I hope you can still say "I Don't Care."
