The Rockets don’t need to be so isolated

It seems like most of the articles I’ve written since I (blissfully) returned to The Dream Shake have been some iteration of “the Rockets have the NBA’s second-best Offensive Rating, but they need to fix their offense.” Well… It’s now the fourth-best Offensive Rating (121.0). Still elite territory, but they’re slipping.  This should not come […]

Can Rockets Ime Udoka remedy his offensive warts?

Ime Udoka is universally regarded as one of the league’s better young coaches. Within two short years, he lifted the Rockets from the dregs of the Western Conference to the second seed in the conference. This past summer, he was rewarded with the fourth-highest deal, behind Steve Kerr, Erik Spoelstra and Ty Lue, to the […]

Five Out: What’s holding the Rockets back this season?

It’s FIVE OUT. Back for the Holidays! Home for Christmas! I’ve got some bad news for you, though. These are five things that I think are separating the Rockets from real contention this season, so far. And I really do mean “So far.”. The story isn’t written, the season isn’t over.

Rockets fall to Kings in OT 125-124

The Rockets lost in the NBA nightcap tonight against the lowly Sacramento Kings in overtime, 125-124. The Rockets always seem to have a stupid loss to the Kings in them, every year, just as they have a ridiculous loss to Utah in them every year. This week was a bit special in terms of absurd […]

Rockets bounce back in Denver and defeat the Nuggets 115-101

When Ime Udoka called the Rockets out for their embarrassing effort on defense in the overtime loss to New Orleans, it was a sure bet that the defensive effort would be anything but embarrassing. In fact, they responded by holding the highest scoring offense in the NBA to 40-percent shooting, and their lowest scoring output […]

Rockets blow a 25-point lead to the Pelicans and fall 133-128 in OT

In recent days the Rockets inability to execute down the stretch against the upper echelon of teams in the NBA has been well covered. The New Orleans Pelicans were 5-22 going into Thursday’s game in NOLA. They have young talented players, but they are nothing close to the “upper echelon” of teams. That didn’t stop […]

Rockets granted $12.5M disabled player exception for Fred VanVleet

On Tuesday afternoon, Kelly Iko with Yahoo Sports announced that “the Houston Rockets were recently granted a $12.5 million Disabled Players Exemption for guard Fred VanVleet, who tore his right ACL prior to training camp, and despite the DPE (Disabled Player Exception), Houston is still hard-capped at the first apron.” The Rockets expected Fred VanVleet […]

Rockets need to be very specific when employing double-big lineup

It’s well-known that the Houston Rockets like to dominate their opponents with size. So much, that they added Clint Capela in the summer, even after having two very good centers in Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams. Okay, part of that had to do with preserving Adams, who has a history of injuries to his lower […]

A closer look at Rockets season reveals something troubling

Though the Rockets are currently fifth in the Western Conference, they are still considered by most to be true title contenders, and rightfully so. They have the third-highest offensive rating in the NBA and the fifth-highest defensive rating. That is an excellent formula for success. Knowing how stacked the west is, it’s no surprise that […]
