One of the best album titles, ever, is Jagged Little Pill. Sure, we’ve all heard of the cliched tough pill to swallow. Morissette paints a more visceral picture. The pill isn’t hard to swallow due to its size. It’s jagged. That’s worse. Here’s a jagged, medium-sized pill for Houston Rockets fans to swallow: Ime Udoka […]

By now, I’m sure you’ve heard. And noticed. The Houston Rockets need a point guard. Although it’s not as bad as it seems. There’s a difficult path, as it pertains to acquiring an external one.

And their 18.8 second-chance points also leads the league.

Before we start with the preview, I want to thank Holly and Xiane for stepping in and handling the game previews while I was celebrating my brother’s marriage. As always, I’m worried that you guys liked them way more than me and will try to get rid of me. For now, you’re still stuck with […]

Everyone loves a linear narrative. OK, fine – not everyone. If you’re some kind of wacky postmodernist, you prefer a strange metanarrative. You love yourself some Twin Peaks. Good for you.

This might be the best Rockets win of the season. It’s certainly my favorite win.

Badly enough that his poor peformances had been directly related to at least a few losses, and some fans had been growing impatient with the 22-year-old’s development. He answered some of those critics in the win over New Orleans. Smith went off for 32 points, a career-high […]
