Former Rockets News: James Harden arrested on gun charge in Houston
James Harden hasn’t played for Houston in years, but one would hope when he retires, and reaches the Hall of Fame (which he really should do), he’ll hang the jersey as a Rocket. I don’t think anyone really associates him with any other team, and he does seem to like being in Space City. This […]

Rockets made the right choice with Reed Sheppard
In 2026, the internet is largely built around the “gotcha”. It’s chess. The goal is to corner the opponent into a logical error. Identify the error, and bask in the incandescent warmth of looking smart on the internet. Life is good. On the basketball internet, that often means an anonymous Player A vs Player B. […]
Top 3 Free Agent Landing Spots For Nick Chubb
Nick Chubb spent 2025 with the Houston Texans on a one-year, $2.5 million deal, rushed for 506 yards and three touchdowns across 15 games, and watched his role diminish as Woody Marks pushed into a larger share of the backfield down the stretch. The Texans signed David Montgomery in March, closing the door on a return. Chubb is a free agent at 31 years old, carrying the damage from his 2023 knee injury that tore his MCL, damaged his meniscus, and tore his medial capsule. He is no longer ...

Only the Houston Astros this season could deliver angst and high drama after posting a whopping 9 runs in the first inning.

Royals vs Astros Game discussion 6/12
The Royals start the final series of their Texas homestand tonight, hosting the Houston Astros.

Astros series preview: Their dynasty seems to be over
The Astros missed the playoffs last year for the first time since 2016, but still finished with 87 wins. This year, the bottom may be dropping out, as they are tied for the eighth-worst record in baseball and are headed to their first losing season since 2014.

SB Nation Reacts Survey Results: How Many Games Will Astros Win in June?
We asked, you’ve spoken.

Here is what you said: More optimism than pessimism among readers, but not optimistic […]
Value of Things: A look at the hot seat
Early in the season, I started a series called “The stages of suck.” The beancounters and powers that be informed me that this series was not well received. Apparently, the packaging was off the mark. However, it was based on a very clear premise that is still with us today. The Texans are a team […]

Astros vs. Royals Series Primer with Royals Broadcaster Rex Hudler
Like most Astros enthusiasts, it’s always a cringeworthy moment when Houston ventures out to Kauffman Stadium. It’s the site of the 2015 ALDS with flashbacks of falling short Game 5 flooding the memory banks. The landscape today has a few holdover members from that clash, Salvador Perez and Jose Altuve to name a few, but […]

Stephon Castle and what could have been for the Rockets
Sometimes it feels like the media likes to just kick Houston Rockets fans while they’re down, and Tuesday and Wednesday were no different. I was just minding my business, scrolling on Twitter while thinking about how I will manage without Rocket’s basketball till October (depressing, I know), when I saw a tweet going around saying […]
