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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
Thanks to a fun twist of fate, I’m in New Orleans and will be at tonight’s game. So if the Houston Rockets lose, you’ll know exactly who to blame. The New Orleans Pelicans are 5-22 and dead last in the Western Conference. They’ve already traded their first round pick in next year’s draft for Derik […]
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 […]
A lot of Rockets fans just witnessed their first full, top-down rebuild. Some of us have been here before. When the Rockets’ geriatric Olajuwon/Barkley/Pippen trio finally got put to pasture, the team’s future was unclear. Had Steve Francis not rejected Vancouver (a beautiful city, as long as you’re not in the DTES), who knows what […]

This was mostly a good game. The Rockets didn’t look great for much of it, but they fought hard. It was a competitive back and forth affair, where the lead shifted back and fourth and neither team could open up much daylight without the other coming back. The last three minutes of the fourth quarter […]

Over the weekend, former Memphis Grizzlies and New York Knicks head coach David Fizdale sought to give Houston Rockets two-way standout Amen Thompson his flowers. Understandably so, as Thompson hasn’t been necessarily having a consistent season. Up-and-down would be the best way to coin it. It’s not entirely on him. The point guard experiment has […]
For some NBA fans, the line between star and role player is rigid. It does not yield. If you’re a star, you’re invaluable. If you’re a role player, you’re dispensable. It’s too narrow a way of looking at basketball. Jaden McDaniels does more for your team than Zach LaVine if you want to win a […]
The Houston Rockets got absolutely hosed by the NBA Cup makeup game schedule. Or at least, they didn’t make out like gangbusters like the Dallas Mavericks did. The Rockets got the Clippers (who, when their old bodies are given several days off, play much better than normal) and the Denver Nuggets (who are just awesome […]

First they took Western Conference C, dubbed the “Group of Death” which consisted of the Spurs, Houston Rockets, Denver Nuggets, Portland Trail Blazers, and Golden State Warriors. Nuggets and Rockets are currently third and fourth […]
The Dallas Mavericks have put together a nice run over the past two weeks, winning five of their last six games. While a few of those games were against sub-par teams, the Mavs got wins over the second and third best teams in the Western Conference (the Denver Nuggets and Houston Rockets, respectively) as well.
