The Houston Rockets’ third-ranked offensive attack hinges heavily on their ability to outmuscle opponents on the offensive glass. Houston’s 16.1 offensive rebounds pace the league. And their 18.8 second-chance points also leads the league. Unsurprisingly, the Rockets have four players that rank in the top-25 in offensive rebounds, in Steven Adams, Alperen Sengun, Amen Thompson […]

Before we start with the preview, I want to thank Holly and Xiane for stepping in and handling the game previews while I was celebrating my brother’s marriage. As always, I’m worried that you guys liked them way more than me and will try to get rid of me. For now, you’re still stuck with […]

No prizes for guessing who’s on it. With the Houston Rockets coming to town Thursday the Sixers released their injury report and it’s filled with the usual suspects. After playing in the front end of their back-to-back earlier in the week, Joel Embiid is listed as probable. Instead of left knee injury management though the […]

Everyone loves a linear narrative. OK, fine – not everyone. If you’re some kind of wacky postmodernist, you prefer a strange metanarrative. You love yourself some Twin Peaks. Good for you. The rest of us love a linear narrative. We also love a linear NBA career. When a player becomes the player they were projected […]

It was a tale of two halves yet again for the San Antonio Spurs in their 111-106 loss to the Houston Rockets. The Spurs were red hot in the first half, scoring 70 points, but lost steam quickly in the second half as they finished the game shooting 39% from the field and 28% from […]

The San Antonio Spurs blew another double-digit lead on Tuesday night in a 111-106 loss to the Houston Rockets.

This might be the best Rockets win of the season. It’s certainly my favorite win. There’s been a lot of negativity around here (looks at self) regarding aspects of this year’s Rockets team, a good bit of it deserved. This is all positivity, though. That’s because this victory carried two great signs that we can […]

The San Antonio Spurs left Toyota Center Tuesday night with a familiar and frustrating feeling, undone once again by a late-game collapse in a 111–106 loss to the Houston Rockets that spoiled an otherwise encouraging road performance. For much of the evening, the Spurs were the sharper, more composed team. They opened the game with […]

The San Antonio Spurs’ tour into Houston was a failure because they got satisfied with their work late and lost interest in guarding the 3-point line. It was their second matchup of the season with the Rockets, and now they are even with two outings to go. The first quarter ended with a 39-28 lead, […]

While they’re close in the standings, it has been two entirely different seasons for the Spurs and Houston Rockets. Both teams have been on similar rebuild schedules, with the Rockets being a year ahead, and it […]

Jabari Smith Jr. had been slumping, no doubt. Badly enough that his poor peformances had been directly related to at least a few losses, and some fans had been growing impatient with the 22-year-old’s development. He answered some of those critics in the win over New Orleans. Smith went off for 32 points, a career-high […]
