This year’s Houston Rockets team has been one of the most inconsistent iterations of the team seen in recent memory. More over, the Rockets have been one of the most inconsistent ball clubs in the entire league. They’re far from a lock to beat the league’s relatively easier opponents. In fact, I tend to get […]
The Houston Rockets head to the nation’s capital to take on the Washington Wizards tonight. With Washington’s injury list (see below), Washington’s mascot G-Wiz might have to play some minutes for the home team. He’s still recovering from the cheap shot that Jaxson Hayes gave him earlier this season. March is generally the month where […]

Signs of life against another Florida team might have been premature. The Rockets were largely outsmarted today by the Heat. You might say Miami nightlife is undefeated, and that playing at 3:30 in the afternoon was never going to work out well for the young Rockets, but there might have been a little more on […]
It’s been a while since the Miami Heat have earned a statement win, but they did just that on Saturday. They handed the now 37-22 visiting Houston Rockets a 115-105 loss inside Kaseya Center, spoiling Kevin Durant’s 32-point outing. The victory improves Miami’s record to 32-29 overall, closing the playoff seeding gap to .5 games […] The post Bam Adebayo leads the Heat to 115-105 upset win over Rockets appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

After a three-game win streak, the Miami Heat have since lost two straight. They will look to bounce back as they return to Kaseya Center to host the visiting Houston Rockets for an early weekend matchup Saturday. The Rockets are coming off a win versus the Orlando Magic in a game where Kevin Durant dropped […] The post GAME PREVIEW: Heat back home for afternoon matchup against Rockets appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
After a hard-fought win in Orlando, the Houston Rockets travel to South Beach for a game about 40 hours later. This is a recipe for disaster. At least James Harden isn’t on the team anymore. The Heat are 31-29 and are coming off back-to-back losses against the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers. They play offense […]
This game felt like the Rockets season in microcosm. Amen Thompson returned from being out in the previous game, and the Rockets traveled to Orlando for the second game of a back to back. Orlando was at home, and last played Tuesday in Los Angeles. After a game of beating the woeful Kings easily with […]

Whether you’re a fan of Jabari Smith jkr. or still wish Houston drafted Paolo Banchero or Chet Holmgren, there’s no denying that Jabari Smith seems to have turned a corner after struggling for a stretch earlier this year. In the four games after the All-Star break, Jabari has scored 15, 21, 31 and 12 points, […]
The Houston Rockets got the blowout win we hoped for against the Sacramento Kings. Now, they turn their attention to the Orlando Magic as Houston plays out the second night of a back-to-back and the first game in a three-game road trip out East. The Magic are coming off a big emotional win over the […]
When the Houston Rockets took a 77-50 lead into the half against the Sacramento kings on Wednesday night, anyone who thought to themselves, “It’s over.” hasn’t watched Rockets basketball this season. Undoubtedly, you yourself may have has some reservations about switching over to your favorite Netflix show and calling it a night. Those reservations were […]

It’s been said that hindsight is 20/20. Is it? It likely depends on how far removed you are from what you’re trying to see. The past is a vacuous concept. Anything you do is in the past a milesecond later. Perhaps it’s most accurate to say that hindsight will eventually be 20/20. Is it time […]
There are 30 teams in the National Basketball Association. (How’s that for insight?) Some have it easier than others. That’s always been the case. The NBA practically has a caste system. Moving up a rung requires more maneuvering than Viola disguising himself as Cesario in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. Take the Washington Wizards. They are cosmically […]
Well, if any burner-account related insecurities are seeping into this team, they’ve yet to reveal themselves yet. The Houston Rockets have played their first games since LB started tracking their 2026 first-round pick that is owed to the Sixers, going 2-1 in their first three games post-All Star break. That features wins over the Charlotte […]
According to Sarah Todd, it appears that Vince Williams Jr. may have suffered a season-ending injury in the Jazz’s game against the Houston Rockets. If you haven’t seen the play, Williams took a shot from Tari Eason coming down the court, and his knee appeared to hyperextend sideways. After the game, it looks like Keyonte […]
The Jazz fell to the Rockets, 105-125, in a defeat that was all but assured ever since the opening quarter. Not that Jazz fans are complaining; with the next two games being against the Pelicans, where losses are far from guaranteed, an easy and relaxed addition to the teams ping pong balls versus Houston is […]
Well, the season is saved! The Rockets scored a robust 125 points, held their opponent to just over 100, and essentially stomped their opponent from beginning to end. Wait, I’m getting word that their opponent was the Utah Jazz, a team that claims not to be losing intentionally, but their growing fines from the NBA […]

The Houston Rockets wrapped up a tough seven-game stretch across the All-Star break at 3-4. It started poorly with two bad losses, but after a bit of recovery, Rockets fans should feel like there was meat left on the bone in losses to the Los Angeles Clippers and New York Knicks. On paper, tonight’s game […]
