The entire fate of the Indianapolis Colts could be decided around 7:30 EST on Saturday in a game they don’t even play. The Colts lost their say in what happens to them a few weeks back when their slide became overwhelmingly long. Now, their season hangs in the balance, and the Houston Texans have a […]
“It seems like most of the articles I’ve written since I (blissfully) returned to The Dream Shake have been some iteration of ‘the Rockets have the NBA’s second-best Offensive Rating, but they need to fix their offense.'” That’s how I started my last piece. Nothing has changed. The Rockets have since hung a solid 119 […]

The answer to that question really starts on Saturday night as the Texans have a chance to make the Sunday game against the Jaguars, only important to the Jaguars. Should the Texans lose, only being inferior to the Jags should be the reason for a Colts loss. The Colts would again hold their destiny in […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers obviously haven’t gotten off to the start that they envisioned. At 17-15, they certainly aren’t a bad team, but expecations are a pain in the ass. Last season’s Cavs squad had three separate 12+ game winning streaks and didn’t lose their 15th game until Game 74, when they had all but wrapped […]
In case the Lakers’ loss on Christmas Day wasn’t frustrating enough, LA now also has to deal with yet another injury to a key contributor. Austin Reaves was unable to return after the halftime break against the Rockets due to left calf soreness. This is the exact same injury that caused him to miss three […]
The Houston Texans are riding a seven-game winning streak and will look to keep it alive on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers. These two teams met in the Wild Card round of the playoffs last season, a game Houston controlled from start to finish in a 32–12 win. The Texans’ elite defense led […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers aren’t at 100% just yet, but they are as close as they have been all season. The injury report finally doesn’t look like a laundry list. Cleveland lists Max Strus (foot) and Larry Nance Jr. (calf) as their only standard contract players unavailable for tomorrow’s game against the Houston Rockets. Two-way players […]

Another week, another UGLY win. This time, Houston inched their way past the Las Vegas Raiders in one of the more mediocre performances in the DeMeco Ryans era. The offense looked stumped and the defensive line finally showed cracks. Whether the Texans are playing like a “playoff team” or not, they’re at the precipice of […]
The Chargers have waited almost an entire calendar year to get a shot at revenge against the Texans. Back in January, Houston’s defense picked off Justin Herbert four times en route to bouncing the Bolts from the postseason in a game many in The Bolt wish they could completely forget. The thing is, whatever motivation […]
Final Update: The Chargers will be without yet another offensive tackle this week as recent starter at left tackle Jamaree Salyer has been ruled out against the Texans this week. Returner Derius Davis, safety RJ Mickens, and cornerback Benjamin St-Juste were all ruled out for Saturday, as well. Offensive guard Mekhi Becton, defensive tackle Teair […]
If you want to be the best… Last weekend, Houston Texans offensive coordinator Nick Caley seemed to do everything he could to let the Las Vegas Raiders beat the Texans in what should have been an H-Town blowout. Now, we all know the margin between good team and bad one in the NFL is pretty […]

We are several days removed from the Houston Texans disappointing victory over the woeful Las Vegas Raiders. They hit the 10-win mark but limp into an important matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. After the Raiders game, I asked the other writers of Battle Red Blog to express their frustrations with the team. And vent […]
It’s been a rough road trip for the Houston Rockets, with three overtime losses and blowout loss to the Clippers. Heading into Thursday’s Christmas Day matchup with the Lakers, Rockets fans were hoping to see them make a statement on the big stage. That they did. Similar to their start in the Clippers game, the […]
JJ Redick has never been one willing or able to hide his true feelings after games. If Redick is upset about how the Lakers played, it is very evident. That may manifest itself in what he says or it could be in the brevity in which he answers questions. Following Thursday’s blowout loss to the […]
Just as it looked like the Lakers were turning the corner from a health standpoint, they were dealt another blow on Thursday. After playing in the first half of the Christmas Day showdown with the Rockets, Reaves remained in the locker room and was ruled out for the second half with left calf soreness. According […]
The Lakers’ woe worsened on Thursday as the Rockets handed them their third straight loss, blowing them out on Christmas Day, 119-96. Houston beat them down in many of the expected ways, grabbing 17 offensive rebounds and turning the Lakers over 16times. The result was the Rockets finishing with 68 points in the paint, 24 […]
