Latest news and updates about the Rockets
The fact that the Sixers trying to keep their own pick this year has become a real conversation is astounding. To say it’s been a rough couple of weeks for Philadelphia is an understatement. Thanks in large part to having four different starters go down for an extended period of time with injury, they’ve plummeted […]
The Houston Rockets continued with their sloppy and ugly offensive basketball, turning the ball over 22 times and falling apart down the stretch for a 100-92 defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers. The Rockets scored four points in about a seven-minute stretch of the fourth quarter, as the Lakers went on a […]
When the Lakers and Rockets last met on Christmas Day, it was a very revealing game for LA. The Lakers were run off the floor and forced to really begin searching for answers to questions that it took them some time to solve. Quite a bit has changed for the Lakers since that blowout loss, […]
The Lakers survived an ugly, ugly fourth quarter of basketball to come away with a sixth straight win, knocking off the Rockets on the road, 100-92.

The Houston Rockets open a five-game homestand that includes five losable games. “But Armin,” you say, “the New Orleans Pelicans are 22-45! They suck!” “Well actually,” I respond as I push my glassed up the bridge of my nose, “the Pelicans are 7-3 over their last 10 games. That includes wins over the Toronto Raptors, […]

Nuggets, Pistons, Celtics, Rockets, Cavaliers, Spurs, Raptors, Thunder and Lakers. Those are some of the teams the Knicks have played since February. New York has gone against the Wizards, Pacers, Bulls, and the Bucks—all of those matchups sandwiched in between the aforementioned ones—but for the most part, the Knicks have had test after test over […]

Tonight’s Rockets win over the the 5th place Toronto Raptors was just the thing for a Rockets team that was soundly thrashed by the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday.

It’s a bummer that for the second straight March, draft positioning has been the only thing worth rooting for so far. After losing four out of their last five games and injuries mounting, the Sixers have finally slipped out of the top-6 in the Eastern Conference, sitting firmly in the eighth seed at 34-30. Of […]
Time is ticking for the Toronto Raptors. With 19 games remaining in their regular-season schedule, the Raptors don’t have significant runway left to prove they’re more than their reputation. Toronto beats up on non-playoff teams. They struggle against teams destined to compete for a playoff spot. That’s not a bad spot to be in for […]

Multiple Blazers recorded big games throughout the stretch, but Blazer of the Week goes to Jrue Holiday for his consistent high-level play through all three games. Holiday averaged 25.3 […]
Coming off a miraculous comeback win against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Spurs took on the Houston Rockets for their last meeting of the regular season. After a back-and-forth first quarter, the Spurs’ offense exploded, outscoring the Rockets 37-24 in the second. Coming into the third quarter with a 12-point lead, the Spurs’ offense continued […]
I’ll get the usual caveats out of the way first. It’s just one game. It’s the regular season. The playoffs are a different animal. We shouldn’t get carried away. “Weren’t you the guy sitting here this time last week after the Knicks loss telling us not to get too high or low about anything right […]
As Tyus Jones joins the Denver Nuggets, the chorus of boos grows louder. Houston Rockets fans wanted him. It made some intuitive sense. Jones’ best NBA seasons have seen him marry passing volume with a low turnover rate in a way that, frankly, only Fred VanVleet really does. So why wouldn’t Rafael Stone want him […]
