Shortly after the Houston Rockets traded for Kevin Durant, I offered my opinion on how the Rockets who are a part of the NBA’s top 75 should be ranked. To the surprise of many, before KD played a single game in a Rockets uniform, I ranked him 2nd behind only the G.O.A.T Hakeem Olajuwon. Just […]

Spacing. So much discussion around spacing. It’s rudimentary. It’s intuitively easy to understand. More shooters = more shots. More shots = more points. Three is, by now, infamously more than two. The Houston Rockets have bad spacing by modern NBA standards. It’s undeniably true. Alperen Sengun and Amen Thompson are both poor shooters. They’re also […]

All of us have a player we like more than others on the team. All of us probably have a player we don’t like as much on the team. Tonight’s game pretty much united both, as with the exception of the deep bench, and maybe, Durant’s night, everyone on the Rockets was fairly dismal. It […]

What a game from the short handed Celtics!!! I'm very surprised to see all the Ime Udoka hate from Rockets fans. I thought he was a decent coach. I'm very happy with Joe Mazzulla as coach and Brad Stevens as GM. The Celtics are in good hands. It's crazy how it seems like half the league has been traded over the past couple of days.
