The 2025-26 NBA season was supposed to be a big year for Tari Eason. At least, he was banking on it from a contractual standpoint. Eason was essentially the only player Houston drafted and developed that didn’t land a contract extension. Thus far, at least. Jalen Green secured a long-term deal before getting traded for […]

The Houston Rockets open a five-game homestand that includes five losable games. “But Armin,” you say, “the New Orleans Pelicans are 22-45! They suck!” “Well actually,” I respond as I push my glassed up the bridge of my nose, “the Pelicans are 7-3 over their last 10 games. That includes wins over the Toronto Raptors, […]

It’s time for harsh truths. Cold, unrelenting reality. Words must no longer be minced. The Houston Rockets’ situation has materially worsened in 2025-26. Place the blame where you will. Ime Udoka’s offense lacks sophistication. Rafael Stone picked Jalen Green with the most consequential draft pick of the rebuild. Kevin Durant has a burner. Each of […]

Let’s all take a deep breath. Breathe in, breathe out, and AAAAAAAAAAAA. In case you missed the Rockets’ game against the Denver Nuggets, I think the fact that I am starting the article off with breathing exercises shows how it went. Now before anyone tries to make excuses for the loss since it was the […]

Thanks to the wonkiness that is the NBA Cup, the Houston Rockets are making their third trip the Mile High City to take on the Denver Nuggets this season. Things do even out overall, as Houston got the Los Angeles Clippers three times in Houston and just once in Ballmer’s Toilet Emporium (I think Xiane […]

Tonight’s Rockets win over the the 5th place Toronto Raptors was just the thing for a Rockets team that was soundly thrashed by the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday. Almost everything a Rockets fan might want was there tonight. We saw a defense that held the Raptors to 18 points below their season scoring average, […]

As Tyus Jones joins the Denver Nuggets, the chorus of boos grows louder. Houston Rockets fans wanted him. It made some intuitive sense. Jones’ best NBA seasons have seen him marry passing volume with a low turnover rate in a way that, frankly, only Fred VanVleet really does. So why wouldn’t Rafael Stone want him […]

The Houston Rockets had a gut check game against the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday and failed miserably, being dominated by the Spurs, who shot 58 percent from the field, to the tune of a 145-120 San Antonio victory. The Rockets had no defense, as the Spurs got pretty much whatever they wanted, with Victor […]

The Houston Rockets have to turn around quickly after a demoralizing loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Houston now gets a top 5 team in the East, the Toronto Raptors. Toronto makes its hay on the defensive end, where they are sixth in defensive rating. Offensively, they’re a more mediocre 19th. The Raptors got off […]

Earlier this week, NBA.com released an article talking about this season’s MVP race. Obviously, the race is headlined with names like Nuggets center Nikola Jokic and Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous Alexander, but another player who many fans who aren’t as tuned in to the NBA would not expect has emerged onto the list. That player […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
