The Spurs are having arguably their best stretch of the season, following a win against the Clippers in their return home from the Rodeo Road Trip. San Antonio has only dropped one of their last 15 games, and it was to the Knicks, another contender that is firing on all cylinders. The success has been […]
Tonight the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs complete their season series. San Antonio leads 2-1, and a win for the Spurs would clinch the tiebreaker, not that it’s likely to matter. This is the first of three difficult games in four days for Houston. To talk about the Spurs, I enlisted the help of […]
The Houston Rockets were able to rebound from an ugly loss to the Golden State Warriors that featured some horrid play down the stretch by closing out the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night with a strong fourth quarter to come from behind and drop the Blazers 106-99. Houston used a 23-4 run in the […]
The Portland Trail Blazers finished up their five-game road trip with a 106-99 loss to the Houston Rockets Friday night.

The Portland Trail Blazers seek a winning road trip record and what could be the team’s third consecutive victory over Houston tonight at Toyota Center in a game against the sputtering Rockets. All-Star forward Deni Avdija is once again listed as doubtful to play as he continues to rest a lower back injury. But the […]
While the Knicks have enjoyed a nice little 15-5 stretch that has seen their defensive rating jump into the top 10, and come away with victories against some good teams like the Spurs, Raptors, Rockets, Celtics, Lakers, and Nuggets, everyone knows that much of the Knicks’ postseason success rides on the availability of their backup […]
I’m going to write this preview with the same effort that the Houston Rockets show most nights. Think of the next four paragraphs as the quarters in a game. Oh, there’s a game tomorrow? I guess I can think about writing one. Who are we playing? The Portland Trail Blazers? Meh there’s not good so […]
This one was embarrassing, and painful. It was like watching a chess master play a person who’d maybe heard of chess, but never played it before. Steve Kerr would be in the role of grandmaster, and Ime Udoka the role of someone who just learned of the existence of the wimpy game of chess an […]
Portland Trail Blazers All-Star forward Deni Avdija has been downgraded to doubtful to play against the Houston Rockets on Friday as he continues to deal with lower back injury management, the organization announced.

The Houston Rockets’ final opportunity to add an external contributor comes by way of the buyout market, which is currently underway. (Well, quality contributors who haven’t been unrestricted free agents all season, that is.) The deadline for teams to waive players was Sunday, March 1. Will the Rockets be active? We’d heard a significant amount […]
Much like Monday night’s game, tonight will be another test for the Houston Rockets as they take on a Golden State Warriors team that is decimated by injuries. Houston might have some injuries of their own, too. The Warriors have, of course, had Houston’s number in recent years and have even beaten the Rockets when […]
Washington Wizards forward Kyshawn George will miss three weeks with a partially torn UCL in his left elbow, the team announced Tuesday. George injured his elbow in the Wizards’ 123-118 loss to the Houston Rockets on Monday. He left the game in the third quarter and didn’t return before missing the team’s next game against […]
Something has been in the air lately, almost like a bug—or perhaps an injury bug? Jokes aside, both Amen Thompson and Jabari Smith Jr. have had ankle injuries in recent games. Amen hurt his ankle in Monday’s game against the Washington Wizards, while Jabari was injured during last Thursday’s game against the Orlando Magic. Houston’s […]

Every NBA player has a role. That’s not to say that every NBA player has the right role. I worked at a law firm for five years. For the first year, I worked in the file room. I did well there because it would definitely be possible to train a primate to do the job. […]
With Houston playing good ball out of the All-Star break this a reminder that yes, you are still allowed to be mad at the Jared McCain trade. The Rockets seem to have gotten their act together since this blog started tracking their progress and the 2026 first-round pick they owe to the Sixers. They went […]
Last night’s loss by the Washington Wizards — this time to the Houston Rockets — seems from the numbers like it was at least a somewhat entertaining game. They fell behind by as much as 19, then went ham in the fourth quarter to trim the final margin to just five. Now, it was one […]
The Houston Rockets built up a big lead against the Washington Wizards, and then they had hold on towards the end and a fourth-quarter rally by the Wiz, finishing the game with a 123-118 victory.
