Latest news and updates about the Rockets
The Houston Rockets were one of the more active teams this past offseason. Not only did they pull off the blockbuster deal of the summer by adding Kevin Durant, they also extended virtually half of their roster in Fred VanVleet, Jabari Smith Jr., Aaron Holiday, Jeff Green, and Jae’Sean Tate. General Manager Rafael Stone also […]
Just six games into the 2025-26 season, it’s time for fans of the Dallas Mavericks (2-4) to adjust some of their expectations for this year. That will be especially true when the Mavs travel to Houston for their first away game of the season on Monday against the Rockets (3-2) at the Toyota Center. The […]
After the sky was falling on the 0-2 Houston Rockets, they have rattled off three straight wins (mostly in blowout fashion though Toronto hung around) and sport the league’s best point differential. They welcome a Dallas Mavericks team to Toyota Center tonight. There was definitely a not-so-quiet contingent of the NBA media that were and […]

What else is there to even talk about? Maybe you’re convinced that the Rockets don’t need a point guard. Sure, their 126.5 Offensive Rating leads the NBA through five games. Five games. Beating the Nets and Raptors was never the objective. The Rockets are seeking a deep playoff run. An (also) league-best 42.1 Offensive Rebounding […]
Celtics definitely looked like a team playing their 5th game in 7 days. They just didn't have the energy needed to win last night. The Rockets are good and big as well. They will cause problems for a lot of teams this season. It's odd to see compliments for the Celtics broadcast team. The free throw difference is wild. 35-7. It was nice though not to have half the comments complaining about the officials.giving the game to the Celtics. My f...
#1 – Celtics got punked After the game, Abby Chin asked Payton Pritchard if there was any takeaway from the loss. The Celtics guard told the media, “I don’t even know if there is a takeaway from this game. I think you just kind of turn the page. They just punked us, and you gotta […]
The Celtics didn’t shy away from the reality of Saturday night’s battle with Kevin Durant, Ime Udoka, and the vertically advantageous Rockets. It was a hard-to-bear reminder of where Boston sits on the NBA totem pole. Houston was running and gunning, dominating Boston in every measurable way. On the boards, they grabbed 53 rebounds to […]
That was refreshing. The Rocket lead this game wire to wire, and never seemed in danger of losing it. The Rockets won the first quarter 37-24 and never looked back, taking 66-48 lead into half time. The Rockets managed to take the lead over 30 on several occasions, but ended up winning by only 27 […]

The Boston Celtics hosted the Houston Rockets Saturday night at TD Garden in their first game of a three-game homestand.

The Houston Rockets wrap up their mini road trip tonight in Beantown against the Boston Celtics. Houston has been off for two days while the Celtics are coming off a 1-point victory over the Sixers for Philly’s first loss on the season. At 3-3, Boston is probably where we expected them to be, as even […]
Welcome to All Hallows Eve, also known as Samhain, one of the many, many, pagan celebrations and symbols to be adopted and Christianized. Now it’s really just a costume party often in questionable taste (Sexy Actuary!) and a chance for kids to play dress up and eat too much candy. I personally really love to […]
The Houston Rockets’ most glaring need thus far has been at the guard spot. They’ve struggled mightily to bring the ball up the court. They also don’t really have anyone who can run pick-and-roll action. Well, they do, but he’s out for the foreseeable future in Fred VanVleet. On nights against teams like the Brooklyn […]
When Ziaire Williams fell on his back in the Brooklyn Nets loss to the San Antonio Spurs, it looked bad. He did not return and post-game, Jordi Fernandez noted that the fall was a rough one and indeed, the 24-year-old didn’t play in the next two games vs. the Houston Rockets and Atlanta Hawks, out […]
The Rockets might not be doomed after all. Now standing at 2-2 with just under 5% of the season played, the Rockets season might not be a lost cause, and we know now the worst possible record is 2-80, rather than the previous “on pace” numbers of 0-82. With All Hallows Eve, Samhain, or Halloween […]
The Houston Rockets have struggled to get their offense into gear. Last year’s team wasn’t necessarily world-beaters on that end of the floor, but they were much better, even without Kevin Durant, one of the game’s greatest scorers ever. Even with the same double-big lineup, although Jabari Smith Jr. wasn’t a permanent starter, as the […]
