The best footwork on the Internet
Dear Steven Adams, When you became a Houston Rocket in 2024, I was ecstatic. I had enjoyed following you since I was a 12-year-old kid watching the Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder playoff series in 2017. I followed you to New Orleans and Memphis, always cheering for you. On that February afternoon two years ago […]

Finally, the Houston Rockets get to face the Dallas Mavericks in Houston again. They should also benefit from the presence of Alperen Sengun, who missed the first game in Dallas with an illness and left the second game after just a minute of action. Anthony Davis played in both of those games because he loves […]

The Rockets, as perhaps an oracular punishment for blowing a lead against the Spurs the night before, and getting embarrassingly run off the court to close that game, were sent out on the road to Atlanta the very next night. There was little doubt that the Rockets would in fact play this game, but considerable […]

Why are we talking about trade rumors? How many of these articles… Oops. Sorry. Thought I was in the comments section. Look. It’s trade season. There will be trades. There will be trade discussions.

The Houston Rockets’ offensive philosophy is to bully opponents on the glass. Buy and large, it works. The more scoring opportunities one gets, the higher likelihood that they’ll score. Especially put-back opportunities around the rim or open kick-out threes. Steven Adams has been a big part of that, as he leads the league in offensive […]

This is the sort of game the Rockets should win going away. The Memphis Grizzlies, shorthanded as almost always, and without Ja Morant, as per usual, should be the sort of team the Rockets beat. Not that they’re a bad team, or have bad players, they’re one of the deeper teams in the NBA, full […]

One of the best album titles, ever, is Jagged Little Pill. Sure, we’ve all heard of the cliched tough pill to swallow. Morissette paints a more visceral picture. The pill isn’t hard to swallow due to its size. It’s jagged. That’s worse. Here’s a jagged, medium-sized pill for Houston Rockets fans to swallow: Ime Udoka […]
