The Houston Rockets have undoubtedly been a better team this season.  They equaled their win total from last season, twenty-two wins, with a convincing victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on January 29th, and 36 games still remaining. In hindsight, this should be a positive result. It would certainly be nice if Houston could carry […]

The New Orleans Pelicans take on the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night. Unfortunately, they will be without the services of star forward Zion Williamson.

The Brooklyn Nets have made it clear that they do not intend to move Mikal Bridges ahead of the 2024 NBA Trade deadline.

What if the Houston Rockets called offering the Nets a chance to recoup their draft picks from the […]

During the Houston Rockets’ game against the Los Angeles Lakers, all eyes were fixated on the fabricated rivalry between Dillon Brooks and LeBron James—a feud that has barely lasted a season.

There are less than two weeks until the inaugural NBA All-Star game, and Commissioner Adam Silver just released the Rising Stars roster.

Fans might posit that they will have all the momentum against the Houston Rockets but […]

Anthony Davis did not hold back when expressing his displeasure with Dillon Brooks — who committed questionable fouls on LeBron James and Jarred Vanderbilt in the Houston Rockets’ lopsided win over the Los Angeles Lakers at the Toyota Center on Monday night. In the second quarter, Brooks placed his hand on Vanderbilt’s back as the […]

Houston Rockets rookie Cam Whitmore, selected as the 20th pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, has been a scoring machine in his limited minutes.

“A win is a win.” The Brooklyn Nets put that saying to the test Saturday during their 106-104 victory over the Houston Rockets. Once again, they put themselves in a position through three quarters to coast to a sizable win. And once again, they showed their unique ability to melt down in the fourth. After […]

Year three for Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green is a season that he would like to forget from an individual standpoint. While most fans have partially accepted the reality that he might not be a star, most NBA players still believe his potential. For any player looking to get out of a prolonged funk, it […]

The Houston Rockets desperately need bench depth in order to make a successful postseason push. Two games under .500 and a game underneath the 10th seed in the Western Conference, moves need to be made for the Rockets, as they have been 5-8 in the month of January. Since an ugly loss to the Portland […]

Trade rumors involving Malcolm Brogdon are ramping up with the deadline right around the corner. The Portland Trail Blazers aren’t really in contention for the postseason and it makes sense for the front office to acquire as many draft picks as possible.

Making the Play-In Tournament is the ultimate goal for the Houston Rockets, which means taking advantage of winnable games. This did not happen Wednesday night.

For most of their Wednesday night contest against the Portland Trail Blazers, the Houston Rockets were the better team.

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason has yet to step on an NBA court dating back to January 3rd. Since the preseason game against the San Antonio Spurs, Eason has been dealing with leg injury that has kept him from making his season debut.

In the NBA, before a player is traded to a team, he must go through a complete physical to ensure he’s healthy or at least as healthy as expected. This is normally routine, but that isn’t always the case. In 2023, Gary Payton II was traded to the Golden State Warriors, but it was originally […]

The Houston Rockets are in desperate need of elevating their depth. When starters in Fred VanVleet, Alperen Sengun, or Dillon Brooks are on the bench, the amount of production is cut nearly in half.
