Mass amnesia is a hypothetical phenomenon that doesn’t have a real-world example: Unless we’ve all forgotten about something, that is. That said, some circumstances can feel like a case of mass amnesia. You don’t have to look further than NBA X. Every year, the majority of its users seem to forget that you need a […]
The Milwaukee Bucks will take offense from the Houston Rockets in a Sunday matinee game. We’ll see whether their scoring remains scorching as the hosts and the Fiserv Forum begin their descend into wintertime. Where We’re At A win against the Chicago Bulls provided welcome respite after an iffy stretch of play from the Boys […]
It’s been years since I’ve been to an actual theater — many years. Maybe that’s because some of my visits didn’t exactly turn out to be great successes. I remember one in particular, back in 2008. I was working in London at the time as an intern for a major company. My duties included corporate […]
Coming off a tough loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday, the Spurs looked to regroup heading into the start of NBA Cup group play. Their first Cup match of the season was at home versus the Houston Rockets. After a struggling 22 minutes of Spurs basketball (marred by poor shooting and lazy turnovers), […]
The Rockets showed up to Friday night’s game with the San Antonio Spurs, but they barely played two quarters of actual basketball. Houston was crusing along in the second quarter up 11 points when the bottom fell out and the Rockets gave up a 12-0 an ugly run to end the second to go into […]
Last night the Spurs played their first Emirates Cup game against the I-10 rival Houston Rockets. I was taken aback when I saw the game was on Amazon Prime, part of an 11-year contract. I was nervous that the games were only available live. I was pleased to be able to watch the game when […]
After a couple of tough losses, Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs needed to show they could adjust and overcome adversity to silence the doubters. Both the star and the team were up for the task against a Rockets team that gave them all they could handle. The hard-fought 121-110 win got San Antonio back on […]
The Spurs prevailed tonight by doing something that you haven’t seen from the Silver and Black for the last couple of years. They performed well under pressure and executed better than their opponent down the stretch. The Spurs played with discipline to overcome a talented Rockets team that fought hard the whole game. Alperen Sengun […]

Looking to build off a turnaround that saw them finish last season with a 52-30 record and a 2nd place finish in the Western Conference, the Houston Rockets went all-in this summer by acquiring Kevin Durant from the Phoenix Suns. Adding the 4-time scoring champ has shown early promise, as a Houston team that was […]

The Silver and Black are 5-2 heading into a back-to-back against the Houston Rockets and New Orleans Pelicans.

That makes five wins in a row after the two losses to start the season. Perhaps the Rockets weren’t doomed after all? In any case, in a game where Kevin Durant shot poorly, and Alperen Sengun merely had a good game, the Rockets won comfortably. Amen Thompson was great. Tari Eason continues to make nearly […]

Going into the season, fans and media alike wondered how Houston’s offense would perform with the addition of Kevin Durant and the loss of Fred VanVleet. However, despite the loss of Fred VanVleet and the task of integrating new players into the lineups, Houston has the best offensive rating at 123.2, according to NBA.com. So […]
There’s a tension between expectations and reality when it comes to high lottery picks. The third overall pick? Perfect. We’ve got a superstar. The first five picks in every NBA draft are superstars. It’s an unimpeachable fact. Only, it’s highly peachable. It can be peached to no end. A lot of high lottery picks don’t […]
The Houston Rockets won their fourth game in a row on Monday night, getting 27 big points from Amen Thompson to lead the way at the Toyota Center. Thompson also had 5 rebounds, 4 assists, a steal and a block, while shooting 11-for-18 from the field and 1-for-3 from deep. The block was a huge […]
Just when it seemed the Celtics were finding ways to work around their rebounding woes, Monday night’s matchup against the Jazz reminded them it’s still a work in progress. It was easy (and understandable) to chalk up Saturday night’s blowout loss to the Rockets as a “scheduled loss.” Houston had the size advantage, Boston was […]
The Dallas Mavericks returned home from Mexico to play their first true road game of the season (where the opponent was actually in their arena), looking to improve upon their 2-4 record. Unfortunately, the Rockets had other ideas, pushing the Mavs further away from .500, as Dallas fell 110-102. Let’s get to the grades! Max […]
P..J. Washington had a season-high 29 points and 12 rebounds Monday, but it wasn’t enough as the Houston Rockets continued their winning streak — now at four games — with a 110-102 victory over the Dallas Mavericks.

Coming off a back-to-back against the Philadelphia 76ers and Houston Rockets that they split, the Boston Celtics (3-5) opened the month of November by hosting the Utah Jazz (3-4), falling at home for a second straight game in a 105-103 final. In a wild final 5 minutes, the Celtics fought back from an 8-point deficit, […]
The Dallas Mavericks (2-4) are still on the road Monday night, this time matching up against the Houston Rockets (3-2). Dallas most recently played and lost to the Detroit Pistons in Mexico City.
