The Houston Rockets’ window is open. Two second-round picks won’t close it — but the right selections could sharpen the edge. The Rockets were supposed to take a step forward this season.

Mike Burrows is the only Astros starter to make every turn in the rotation through the first 67 games of the season, but after another rough outing Sunday against the A’s, and with Hunter Brown due back later this month, Burrows’ spot in the rotation could be in jeopardy. Burrows allowed five runs, four earned, […]
John Hudek’s start was something that only Hollywood could conjure up. A year to the day from when he was in Toledo, Ohio and the Tigers dropped from the 40-man roster, he’d appear as an All-Star for the Houston Astros. He was a model of perseverance. He’s reliever John Hudek, and he’s […]

The Rockets debuted new jerseys and a complete makeover late last week. This makes sense because the video was a follow-up to the Rockets account’s Twitter video, which featured Rudy Tomjanovich’s dinner and honored the ‘93-‘94 and ‘94-‘95 Rockets teams that wore the Ketchup and Mustard jerseys, making them a fan favorite remembered by Rockets […]

Astros fans, where are you on your frustration level with General Manager Dana Brown and this year’s team? There is no denying that injuries have played a significant role in the Astros’ disappointing season to this point. It’s impossible to ignore the impact of losing key contributors for extended periods of time. Many of us […]
Let’s have an annoying conversation. Frankly, most discussion around the Houston Rockets these days airs on the side of irritating. They’re in an irritating position. The Rockets are young, but Durant isn’t. They’re good, but not good enough. They’re X, which is good, but they aren’t Y, which is better. The Rockets are like the […]
These five NBA teams need to make some tough decisions this offseason to become title contenders.
