The Houston Rockets didn’t exactly play well, but they came away with a win anyway, riding Kevin Durant and Alperen Sengun to 117-113 overtime win over the Orlando Magic. The end of regulation was pure madness, as Durant appeared like he won it, then after a huge Houston mistake, Sengun tied the game as regulation […]

If I’ve tried to make anything clear during my time as a Houston Rockets writer, it’s this: I love Tari Eason. This has not been a secret. Eason is the prototype “player you want”. He’s the guy that, when you look back at a championship roster, you say, “Sure, he averaged 12 and 6, but […]

Last season, as he saw himself going back and forth from the G-League and sparingly seeing the court in the NBA, it was clear that the 2024-2025 Houston Rockets and Reed Sheppard were not on the same timeline. Reed did put up some impressive numbers in the Rio Grande Valley. In three games he averaged […]

Coming into tonight’s Emirates NBA Cup game against the Portland Trail Blazers, Kevin Durant had an NBA leading 29 consecutive 20-point games versus the franchise that could have drafted him number one overall back in 2007. Whether or not he was aware of this before tonight, I can’t tell you. What I can tell you […]

Karma. Juju. Vibes. This stuff matters. It’s hard to put a finger on it, but you know it matters. It’s got to feel right. If it feels wrong, follow that intuition. There are machinations at play that we don’t understand. Whatever your cosmic alignment, you’re naive to assume that cold, hard logic dictates everything. Kyrie […]

After playing six of their first nine games away from home, the Houston Rockets began a three-game homestand at Toyota Center on Wednesday.

The first two seasons of the contract are completely guaranteed; the third and fourth years are not, and there is a player option in the fourth year.

Reed Sheppard is starting to reverse the all-too-early concocted narrative on him as an NBA player. It’s still early in the season (and his NBA career) but we can’t ignore what he’s been doing of late, and what’s been said about him. He was written off long ago. Dating back to his rookie season, we’ve […]

After an embarrassing loss to the Spurs in their first NBA Cup game, the Rockets needed to cleanse their pallet and get back to doing the things that help them win ball games. Early on against the Bucks it didn’t look like that was going to happen. The Rockets have struggled at times to defend […]

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 […]

After a tough loss to the San Antonio Spurs, the Houston Rockets stay on the road to take on the 6-3 Milwaukee Bucks in an early tip-off. Milwaukee’s offseason has been discussed to death, but they have started out better than expected, mostly due to Giannis Antetokounmpo’s play. He’s averaging 32.3 points, 12.6 rebounds, 6.3 […]

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 […]

Amen Thompson has undeniably established himself as a two-way force in less than three full seasons with the Houston Rockets. The scouting report on him in 2023 was that he’d be a project — a label that seemed fair at the time for a player who skipped college and the international circuit for the Overtime […]

Tonight begins another journey in hopes of winning the NBA Cup for the Houston Rockets.

That makes five wins in a row after the two losses to start the season. Perhaps the Rockets weren’t doomed after all?
