Latest blog entries from Houston teams across every league
According to Michael Pina, the Utah Jazz would be one of many teams that would have a varying degree of interest in Kevin Durant if he becomes available. From Pina’s article: The Rockets thought that KD was their missing piece, and instead, there’s a chance they’ll turn him into a stepping stone this summer. It turns […]
The 2026 NFL Draft has come and gone. The Houston Texans added eight players to their roster, addressing various positional and depth needs. Concurrently, the sports media that spent so much time evaluating prospects and looking at team’s needs is now engaging in the time-honored tradition of instant grades for a group of players that […]
In the week leading up to their series against the Rockets, the Lakers repeatedly emphasized the importance of taking care of the ball. Despite being up 3-1 in the series, there have been very few moments where it’s felt like the Lakers have taken that message to heart. With 80 turnovers in the four contests, […]
One of the first hires for Terry Fontenot’s regime when he arrived in Atlanta was Chris Olsen, brought on to serve in a director of football administration role after a long stint as a Houston Texans cap guru. It appeared he would survive the wholesale changeover to Matt Ryan and Ian Cunningham in the front […]
The latest news on the Houston Astros and from around MLB: Astros GM Dana Brown says Manager Joe Espada is NOT in jeopardy of losing his job: Chandler Rome on where he sees fault lying with the Astros current state and slow start on the Gallant Says podcast with Sportsradio 610’s Paul Gallant: Tyler Stafford […]
At Sunday morning’s team shootaround ahead of Game 4, with the Rockets down 0-3 in the best-of-seven series and with an elimination game looming on their home floor, Alperen Sengun delivered a message to his team about belief and encouragement. The fifth-year Turkish big man — who often needed a translator during his first two […] The post Inspired by Alperen Sengun, Rockets stay alive versus Lakers appeared first on ClutchFans .
On a night where there were some ridiculous refereeing decisions, perhaps the most inexplicable in Game 4 between the Lakers and Rockets came at the end of the game. Late in garbage time, Adou Thiero and Aaron Holiday had a minor scuffle that should have resulted in nothing notable. Instead, James Williams instantly ejected both […]
On the brink of advancing to the second round and pulling out a sweep for the first time since 2010, the Lakers fell to the Rockets in Game 4. With Kevin Durant out once again, it set the stage for a young and athletic Houston squad to play with a sense of urgency and desperation. […]
The Kevin Durant trade was controversial. Some felt that it was a no-brainer. You’re trading one of the least efficient volume scorers in the NBA, Dillon Brooks, and the 10th overall pick for one of the best scorers in NBA history. If it feels too good to be true… There were always reasons why Durant […]
The 2026 NFL Draft saw a robust trade market. Over the course of 257 selections, there were 41 distinct trades made, or nearly six per round. In fact, 112 different 2026 selections were moved at some point, or nearly 44% of the draft (and that excludes picks that had been traded prior to the start […]
Outside that pair of series against the Athletics and Rays, this Yankees team has been pretty adept at quickly brushing off losses. That’s something they’ll look to do in the backend of this road trip after missing out on a sweep opportunity against the Houston Astros. After Luis Gil’s increasingly disappointing efforts on Sunday—ultimately leading […]
In Monday’s Brotherhood Playoff Action, RJ Barrett and Brandon Ingram helped lead Toronto past Cleveland, 93-89. Mason Plumlee and San Antonio took care of Portland, 114-93. Jayson Tatum and Boston smacked Philadelphia around, 128-96. Finally, Luke Kennard and Los Angeles fell to Houston, 115-96. Ingram had 23 for Toronto, while Barrett finished with 18 points […]
I was watching Game Three of the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Houston Rockets series. My wife — who’s usually more interested in the National Anthem and the arena timeout entertainment — watched two possessions and said, “Do these guys understand this isn’t football?” In other words, someone who pays more attention to what Britt Waters […]
Ejections for Flagrant 2 fouls typically are pretty egregious and easy to understand. By definition, they involve excessive force, which rarely leaves doubt about an ejection. And yet, when Deandre Ayton was ejected for a Flagrant 2 foul on Alperen Şengün during the third quarter of Game 4, which the Lakers were already losing handily […]
The Rockets stayed alive in their series against the Los Angeles Lakers tonight with a resounding win in a game the Rockets absolutely had to have, and the Lakers absolutely did not. Sure, the Lakers would no doubt have chosen to finish the Rockets off in four, after the Rockets unlikely, and painful, late collapse […]
There was lots to dislike about the Lakers’ performance in Game 4. The offense looked stuck in mud. There was an alarming amount of turnovers and nearly all of them were live ball, which ruined any chance of a win. That will be discussed in the coming days on this site. But I’d like to […]
You can’t fake desperation. The Rockets fought hard in Game 3, but lost and were down 3-0 entering Game 4. With their season on the line, Houston decided they’d rather head back to LA instead of clearing out their lockers as they demolished the Lakers, 115-96. The Rockets got offensive contributions from their top players […]
On the heels of a grueling Game 3 win, the Lakers came out flat and were subsequently routed by the Rockets, 115-96. From the jump, it was pretty clear the Lakers didn’t have the right level of effort and played as such throughout. LA turned the ball over a staggering 23 times with the Rockets […]

Mike Tomlin stunned the NFL world when he stepped down as Pittsburgh Steelers head coach in January following a 30-6 loss to the Houston Texans. Tomlin has since joined NBC Sports and will be part of the Football Night In America pregame show. He joined Maria Taylor to discuss his new role, but also reflect […]
The Houston Rockets are down 0-3 to an undermanned Lakers team, exposing flaws that no superstar, Giannis Antetokounmpo included, can overcome.
This Lakers-Rockets series hasn’t featured pretty basketball. The Lakers have played without Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves, and the Rockets have had two games without Kevin Durant. With so many key stars out, scoring has been ugly and each contest has been a grind. In that muck, the Lakers have been the better team. They’ve […]
The Yankees had already locked up their third-straight series win, but were unable to notch their third consecutive sweep on Sunday in Houston. Astros hitters had a perfect gameplan to attack starter Luis Gil — although they may not have needed one — and the Yankee lineup was unable to counter against Spencer Arrighetti. Even […]
And just like that, the 2026 NFL Draft is over! After months and months of hype, draft prep, pro days, the entire NFL Combine…ketchup interviews…and more leading up to this moment, everything ends after just three days. This is the third and final part of my “Battle Red Blog at the 2026 NFL Draft” series, […]
It’s been a good week. The Yankees swept Boston and likely played a non-insignificant role in that org’s excising the majority of its MLB coaching staff (including skipper Alex Cora), and then New York came down to Houston and have taken the first two games against their hated Astros. Last night’s win was driven by […]
