Houston Rockets

In the NBA, unexpected heroics are cause for…severe skepticism. Corey Brewer hung 51 points on the Houston Rockets (his current team) as a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves in April 2014. It was an electric performance, and the Timberwolves needed every last one of his 51 bones to squeak out a 112-110 victory. You can [...]

Josh Smith should better gauge the company he stands amongst in the future. Smith was officially introduced as a member of the Los Angeles Clippers this week after agreeing to sign a contract for the veteran’s minimum, per the Orange County Register‘s Dan Woike: Clippers deal with Josh Smith is for the minimum – despite [...]

It’s good to know that Daryl Morey always has James Harden and Dwight Howard on his mind. Well, maybe not always. But certainly before he pulls off a blockbuster trade, like the one he brokered Sunday night, when he acquired embattled Ty Lawson from the Denver Nuggets for a lottery-protected first-round pick in 2016 and [...]

For months, both the Denver Nuggets and their point guard Ty Lawson have been wanting to part ways with one another. The Nuggets have been patiently looking at, and weighing all the options for them to find the best deal they could get. To no one’s surprise, several teams (Rockets, Lakers, and Pistons) showed enormous [...]

One of these summers, the New York Knicks are going to stay out of the unflattering rumor mill. Not this summer, though. For a team that’s having an understatedly good offseason, even though they failed to nab another superstar in free agency, the Knicks just cannot escape the negatively charged conjecture bugaboo. This is mostly [...]

Daryl Morey’s Houston Rockets are at it again. Whiffing on Chris Bosh and Carmelo Anthony hasn’t quelled their appetite for superstars. And, frankly, why would it? They traded for James Harden and signed Dwight Howard in consecutive summers. Two out of three isn’t bad. Three out of four is better, though. According to ESPN.com’s Marc [...]

Guess what? The Golden State Warriors know what they’re doing. Following Stephen Curry’s nasty fall in Golden State’s Game 4 loss to the Houston Rockets, a bunch of people on social media decided to play doctor. The Warriors let Curry come back in, even though his fall looked gruesome and dangerous and like something that [...]

Coming off a poor performance and a blowout loss to the Warriors in game three, James Harden was clearly not happy about his performance and being down 0-3 in the series. And without a doubt, he planned on redeeming himself for game four. Boy did he ever… On the brink of elimination and a sweep [...]

Game two went down to the wire and the Warriors emerged victorious again. This game was without a doubt just as entertaining as the previous one, which 24 hours ago seemed impossible. Both Stephen Curry and James Harden gave the fans another epic duel, showing they were both every bit worthy of MVP consideration. Curry [...]

It was no single decision during the series, but it was a decision Doc Rivers made 5 months ago that probably cost the Clippers the Western Conference Finals. Sunday May 17th, the Clippers lost a second-round series 4-3 to the Houston Rockets, who were led by James Harden’s 31 points and Dwight Howard’s 16 points [...]
