Whether you’re a fan of Jabari Smith jkr. or still wish Houston drafted Paolo Banchero or Chet Holmgren, there’s no denying that Jabari Smith seems to have turned a corner after struggling for a stretch earlier this year.

It’s been said that hindsight is 20/20. Is it? It likely depends on how far removed you are from what you’re trying to see. The past is a vacuous concept. Anything you do is in the past a milesecond later. Perhaps it’s most accurate to say that hindsight will eventually be 20/20. Is it time […]

There are 30 teams in the National Basketball Association. (How’s that for insight?) Some have it easier than others. That’s always been the case. The NBA practically has a caste system. Moving up a rung requires more maneuvering than Viola disguising himself as Cesario in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. Take the Washington Wizards. They are cosmically […]

Well, if any burner-account related insecurities are seeping into this team, they’ve yet to reveal themselves yet. The Houston Rockets have played their first games since LB started tracking their 2026 first-round pick that is owed to the Sixers, going 2-1 in their first three games post-All Star break.

According to Sarah Todd, it appears that Vince Williams Jr. may have suffered a season-ending injury in the Jazz’s game against the Houston Rockets. If you haven’t seen the play, Williams took a shot from Tari Eason coming down the court, and his knee appeared to hyperextend sideways. After the game, it looks like Keyonte […]

The Jazz fell to the Rockets, 105-125, in a defeat that was all but assured ever since the opening quarter. Not that Jazz fans are complaining; with the next two games being against the Pelicans, where losses are far from guaranteed, an easy and relaxed addition to the teams ping pong balls versus Houston is […]

Well, the season is saved! The Rockets scored a robust 125 points, held their opponent to just over 100, and essentially stomped their opponent from beginning to end. Wait, I’m getting word that their opponent was the Utah Jazz, a team that claims not to be losing intentionally, but their growing fines from the NBA […]

The Houston Rockets wrapped up a tough seven-game stretch across the All-Star break at 3-4. It started poorly with two bad losses, but after a bit of recovery, Rockets fans should feel like there was meat left on the bone in losses to the Los Angeles Clippers and New York Knicks. On paper, tonight’s game […]

So, yeah. Uhh… This is awkward. A burner. In a group chat full of “stan” accounts. Speaking poorly of his teammates. What? Well, it’s a testament to your poor judgment if you expect emotional maturity from NBA superstars. This man has been exalted for 20 years. Shame is likely less of a variable in his […]

In Thursday’s loss to Detroit, every Knicks (35*-21) drive into the paint looked like a LaMelo Ball driver’s ed video. Tonight, they hope for better results when they host the Houston Rockets (34-20) at the Mecca. This nationally televised tilt is a match-up of two third-place teams. The Knicks have gone 7-3 in their last […]

This is a kind of glass half full win. The glass isn’t entirely full, but nor is it entirely empty. It’s definitely better than a close loss by a reverse of this score. Tonight the Rockets tied their season series with Charlotte. That’s pretty good, considering how well the Horncats have played lately and that […]
