Latest blog entries from Houston teams across every league
We looked at Astros hitter projections a couple of weeks ago and the natural follow up would be pitchers. However, I specifically waited on them because some projection systems had not released their projections yet. There are still some (like ZIPS) that are not universally available yet. However, there are now enough to get a […]
Tough losses necessitate tough questions. That’s exactly what I asked when I requested instant reactions and opinions on QB C.J. Stroud directly after Houston’s embarrassing loss to the Patriots in the Divisional Round. What are your instant reactions to the Pats beat down of the Texans? What’s the outlook for Stroud and what needs to […]
It started innocently enough. Landy Locker asked whether Nick Caley could grow as a play caller and whether he would get an opportunity to do that. DeMeco Ryans gave a seemingly innocuous response that is actually very telling. For much of the season, he gave full throated defenses of Caley as an offensive coordinator. In […]
How many times does a team need to learn the same lesson before it’s legitimately recitified? The San Antonio Spurs blew another double-digit lead on Tuesday night in a 111-106 loss to the Houston Rockets. This time, it was a 16-point lead that disappeared halfway through the fourth quarter after a big run from the […]
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, […]

Tonight’s Spurs vs Rockets Texas Tussle at the Toyota Center features one of the most intriguing divisional rivalries in the Western Conference. The San Antonio Spurs have been one of the most consistent teams in the West this year, sitting near the top of the standings at 30-13, while the Houston Rockets (25-15) are looking to defend home court and prove they belong in the hunt for a top-four seed. With both sides featuring elite, unicorn-like stars in Victor Wembanyama and Kevin Dur...
A divisional matchup against an elite Texans defense was expected to be a slugfest for quarterback Drake Maye and the Patriots offense. In a snowy Gillette Stadium, Maye took his fair share of punches as he delivered his lowest EPA per drop back (-0.27) of the season and lost a pair of fumbles as ball […]
The New England Patriots’ divisional round win over the Houston Texans on Sunday was a slugfest in the truest of senses. Being played at a snowy Gillette Stadium, it pitted two impressive defensive units against one another in wet and cold conditions. As a consequence, more often than not, offense was lacking: of the combined […]
The Day After the Day After…when the raw, immediate emotions from the aftermath of a game diminish into the realm of clarity and the proverbial (or literal) hangover no longer haunts the mind. With that, a review of the Divisional Round Weekend: Arguably the Worst 2nd Quarter for the Offense this Season: That 2nd Quarter […]
The New England Patriots’ divisional round playoff game against the Houston Texans was a tightly-contested battle, and it led to some casualties on both sides.

The performance of their wide receiver group has been one of the pleasant surprises of the New England Patriots’ 2025 season, and in the divisional playoff round it looked good once again. Kayshon Boutte and Stefon Diggs again led the way, with the former catching three passes for 75 yards and a touchdown and the […]
In a way, it kind of feels like the Spurs have switched places with their IH-10 Rivals this season. 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 […]
TheRockets won their matchup against the Pelicans on Sunday pretty easily, with the return of Dr. Jaswishy, and Kevin Durant eclipsing Dirk Nowitzki’s career scoring mark. Dirk had recorded a nice congratulatory video for Kevin Durant, which was played in Toyota center upon points 31,362 being scored. That is, truly, a lot of basketball points. […]
D’Ernest Johnson and Leonard Taylor III reverted to the New England Patriots’ practice squad on Monday after serving as standard elevations for the AFC divisional round.

In the aftermath of C.J. Stroud’s worst game as a Texan, the team has decided to head off speculation at the pass and are picking up the fifth year option on his rookie contract. At the very worst, he will be under contract for the next two years. Furthermore, they at least openly admitted that […]
