(16 September 2015 - 04:37 AM)Man, as a Laker fan, I'm learning how little you care about the off season when your team sucks. Anyway, a quick moment to remember Moses. Still remember watching the 81 team as a kid - losing record, NBA Finals. I would have cried w/joy if they could have beaten the Celtics.
(13 September 2015 - 05:24 PM)Sad to see Moses pass. I don't remember watching him as a Rocket but I do remember his Philly and Hawks teams. He was the perfect man to mentor Dream. It's a very sad day for his family and friends and there are many.
(03 September 2015 - 02:26 AM)theres more articles all over, but the jist is houston (and texas) doesn't really arrest for it, they just recommend you leave it in your car when they catch it. So seems dwight got lucky he was in texas and not cali or the NE.
(03 September 2015 - 01:42 AM)one bullet left in the chamber is diff than fully loaded and ready to go. Still stupid...but not like he was prepared for a shooting spree.
(18 May 2015 - 09:17 PM)Ariza should guard Thompson and whoever is on Curry needs to body him up. If he drives, give him a mid-range and if he gets really close, have Howard help. Let Curry dish to Bogut. Bogut doesn't have hands or jumping ability like Blake/DJ so there won't be lobs there. They key is to shut down GSW 3 point shooting - when the make 12+ 3 pointers, they are pretty much guaranteed to win. I'll take my chances with Bogut trying to go for 30 from all the drop/dump off passes...
Guest
(15 May 2015 - 06:07 AM)Absolutely right JY86er. I am going to give credit where credit is due - McHale made the right decision in that 4th and the Smooth Brew combo went nuts!
Guest
(15 May 2015 - 06:02 AM)Let me repeat - I HATED the hack a Jordan plan. Hate, hate, hate it!
Guest
(15 May 2015 - 05:52 AM)Mind Blown!!! But no time to celebrate - still one more game to go...put in work Rockets. You have red faithful supporting you...
Guest
(04 May 2015 - 09:10 PM)No respect for the Rockets...https://twitter.com/ArashMarkazi/status/595322877877948418/photo/1
Guest
(22 April 2015 - 08:07 PM)Brooks just got fired from OKC...
Guest
(22 April 2015 - 04:16 PM)Yeah JG, I have recurring back spasms and the worst thing is to sit in a chair all day...Back pain is no joke...
Guest
(17 April 2015 - 10:14 PM)A fan paying $120 for a good seats to an NBA game does not want to see D Jordan (or any bad free throwers) shoot 20 free throws. What if the NFL had a rule where you are driving for a touchdown, but your opponent can "foul" you or commit a violation where you get a field goal kick? Wouldn't that be the worst brand of football you would ever watch?
Guest
(17 April 2015 - 10:02 PM)Hack a player is not basketball. I hate it with the passion. I wouldn't want to win that way. It's such an ugly product. They did this against Wilt Chamberlain in the old days and they changed the rule for a while where if you foul a guy without the ball, the offense gets a tech free throw but keeps possession. That's how I believe it should be. Either that or make it like the NFL where you can decline it.
Guest
(16 April 2015 - 04:05 PM)Pop used this again last night Asik, and although it didn't work, is such a horrible product for the consumers. I hate it; even if the Rox won a game because of it, it's not basketball. Not even close...
Guest
(16 April 2015 - 04:04 PM)Oh by the way, anyone else want to start a petition to get rid of the hack a (insert worst free thrower on the floor)?
Guest
(16 April 2015 - 03:17 PM)Would have been nice if Pacers took out the Grizz so that SA battles Portland and could possibly upset GS. Now SA could be a potential second rounder...
Guest
(14 April 2015 - 09:01 PM)Spurs lose and Rox win is what I think we can hope for. This wouldn't even matter had the Rox split the home and home with Spurs...now the fate is decided by others losing...
Guest
(09 April 2015 - 01:27 AM)From the Chron.com: Motiejunas has been out the past six games with lower back pain, but has not progressed with the rest. The team and Motiejunas have not decided whether a surgery or a more extended period of rest will be needed, the individual with knowledge of the situation said.
Guest
(09 April 2015 - 01:18 AM)Yes because they said that they were thinking if surgery is something they should do soon
Guest
(08 April 2015 - 09:45 PM)Those 1-3 points may be HUGE in the playoffs..
Guest
(08 April 2015 - 09:44 PM)I think Black is better offensively than Dorsey And the "hack a Dorsey" who shoots 28% from the FT is worrisome. And even worse, Clint is shooting 0% from the line.
Guest
(08 April 2015 - 09:14 PM)Kind of wish the Rox still had Tariq Black, I like him over Dorsey...
Guest
(08 April 2015 - 09:13 PM)no no no...http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/12648535/houston-rockets-lose-donatas-motiejunas-season-back-injury
Guest
(08 April 2015 - 05:03 PM)Yeah Curry is the current NBA "darling"
Guest
(08 April 2015 - 03:34 PM)Funny thing is, if it's the best player on the best team, how come Shawn Kemp didn't even sniff the top 5 when his Sonics team was the best in 05 (I believe) going 63 and 19? Such a silly argument in my opinion...
Guest
(08 April 2015 - 03:33 PM)I don't think it's enough as so many people think MVP is the best player on the best team but there are a few switching over: http://crashtheboard...a_mvp_race.html
Guest
(07 April 2015 - 04:33 PM)The Rox need to split (or better) the home and home with the Spurs. Here's hoping some of the magic last year vs the Spurs is still around!
Guest
(07 April 2015 - 02:27 PM)Hope the same can be said for D-Mo
Guest
(02 April 2015 - 10:20 PM)Oops I mean "line"!
Guest
(02 April 2015 - 10:20 PM)So much for Harden needs to get to the like 25 times to get 50. 8 for 9 from 3 fellas...How you like them apples?
Guest
(30 March 2015 - 07:07 PM)Maybe the approach will be similar to yesterday afternoon by have N Johnson (maybe KJ) on the opposing PG. And sometimes even Ariza as he has done in the past. Will depend on the rest of the match ups for the rest of the line-up.
Guest
(26 March 2015 - 07:48 PM)@ txt - no I don't agree with the assessment simply because of how well McHale has handled all the injuries the Rockets had. If they feel that McHale didn't orchestrate that, then Harden should be a hands down MVP when the starting 5 misses more games than any other team in the West...
Guest
(26 March 2015 - 04:50 PM)Have you seen the ESPN coach ranking lately? They have McHale at slightly better than middle of the pack: http://espn.go.com/n...ngs-top-coaches
Guest
(26 March 2015 - 04:05 PM)If the Rox can stay focus, catching Memphis is definitely a strong reality...
Guest
(25 March 2015 - 09:03 PM)Bev out at least 7-10 days...the rotation is starting to get very thin...hopefully they all come back when playoffs start...
Guest
(20 March 2015 - 07:02 PM)That's terrible for T-Jones...can't get any luck
Guest
(20 March 2015 - 02:18 PM)Jones got kneed/kicked in the ribs and went to a hospital on a stretcher...
Guest
(18 March 2015 - 04:11 PM)Also good to see D-Mo get his mojo back too!
Guest
(18 March 2015 - 03:40 PM)So Memphis and SA cooperated by losing to inferior teams last night...
Guest
(09 March 2015 - 04:06 PM)@JG I can appreciate that line of thinking about avoiding the Spurs especially now that they are getting it together at the right time too. I get the feeling it doesn't matter who the Rox face. They'll need to prove themselves in the this gauntlet of the West no matter what. As they used to say, to be the best, you have to beat the best!
Guest
(08 March 2015 - 04:03 AM)On another note, Memphis and Portland both lost tonight...
Guest
(08 March 2015 - 02:58 AM)@ JohnnyGold - if Rox get 4th seed and see the clippers (if they somehow get past that) they would see GSW next so I do think getting the 2/3rd seed is very important. Also I saw the sched that night and just assumed a Grizz win..anyways Brewer playing superb tonight
Guest
(03 March 2015 - 11:33 PM)Corey is brewing up a storm tonight! And TJ is going to grab 15 boards and block 5 shots!
Guest
(03 March 2015 - 09:31 PM)@JG but Portland is right on the Rox tail and a loss to ATL would move them 2.5 from Mem so it would be moot point to just to skip ATL. In this part of the season, every game counts. If Rox lose to ATL but wins against MEM, they're right back where they are now at 1.5 back with possibly Portland tied with them...
Guest
(03 March 2015 - 03:22 PM)Why are we overlooking Atlanta? They are a tough, tough team and can easily blow out the Rox w/o Harden.
Guest
(02 March 2015 - 05:22 PM)@coin - I was thinking if Harden would get suspended. They now have a replay system in NJ for all calls during live games so I would think if they are going to impose it, they would have announced it already but who knows...
Guest
(02 March 2015 - 04:17 PM)Not a fan of McGee...perhaps one of the lowest basketball IQ player in the NBA for the last 10 seasons...
Guest
(02 March 2015 - 12:34 AM)Some of the worst officiating I have seen. And the final call was bad, when Harden missed the FT, the clock starts from the point it hits the rim to when the player catches it which was waaaaay longer than the .6 that was remaining. The game should have been over right there...
Guest
(26 February 2015 - 08:08 PM)@ jorgearm, Prigioni played well in his time on the floor. He could prove very helpful for the stretch run
Guest
(26 February 2015 - 08:07 PM)@ Incubus, give it time. KJ may see some time later but he's too fresh and needs practice with the team and I am still under the impression that this is a trade asset as well
Guest
(26 February 2015 - 08:06 PM)Does anyone know the condition of the Harden's ankle?
Guest
(24 February 2015 - 04:10 PM)Should T Jone start or should he come off the bench for some potent punch? I'm conflicted on this...
Guest
(23 February 2015 - 08:47 PM)Against the Wolves, I'm not quite as worried and perhaps we'll get a better look at Prigioni. But Rox will need him back vs Clippers on Wed...I say sit him out tonight...
Guest
(23 February 2015 - 08:40 PM)Yes Bev's defense looked like the normal Bev vs Toronto. I didn't give him enough time to prove himself!
Guest
(22 February 2015 - 02:59 AM)What a block by J Smoove!
Guest
(22 February 2015 - 02:35 AM)Just as I say that Bev makes a great defensive play...
Guest
(22 February 2015 - 02:30 AM)Beverly just doesn't look right and is not effective nor efficient...is he playing injured?
Guest
(21 February 2015 - 02:27 AM)Rox look sloppy and slow coming back from the break
Guest
(05 February 2015 - 09:26 PM)I like Ludicrous too - he's a good addition to the Fast & Furious franchise...
Guest
(24 December 2014 - 04:57 PM)Interesting news. I think it's good but RBF may not like it...
Guest
(24 December 2014 - 04:24 PM)Mario, if hot head Russell could have hit both free throws, Lilard's shot would have been moot...
(23 December 2014 - 05:57 PM)I also want to say that both D-Mo's offensive fouls last night were BS. D-Mo didn't move and Lilard embellished his leg getting taken out on both of those. Just wanted to voice my disdain for Lilard!!!
Guest
(23 December 2014 - 03:52 PM)Howard, D-Mo and Smith for rim protection does sound formidable...if Smith can fit into the Rox chemistry, he would be a good asset for a low price
Guest
(21 December 2014 - 01:53 AM)They can't do anything right now. ATL is getting layups after layups and Rox can't throw the ball in the ocean...
Guest
(20 December 2014 - 12:20 AM)Giving Rockets lots of options. Terry and Shved can play together when Harden and Bev are resting...
Guest
(20 December 2014 - 12:15 AM)Is Shved going to play back up PG? Would that also mean Papa gets more time at the 4?
Guest
(20 December 2014 - 12:04 AM)Shved is coming to the Rockets too???
Guest
(19 December 2014 - 09:43 PM)With Brewer, the Rox can have superior defense all around. Imagine Brewer, Ariza, Howard and Bev pestering the heck out of opposing offenses...
Guest
(19 December 2014 - 08:04 PM)I like Troy but Brewer will definitely help the Rox
Guest
(19 December 2014 - 07:52 PM)I haven't seen confirmation on any of the main sports websites
Guest
(19 December 2014 - 07:51 PM)Wait who is reporting Brewer to Rockets?
Guest
(09 December 2014 - 06:28 PM)Hope so too. They barely have enough players to suit up in a game...these injuries are piling up
Guest
(09 December 2014 - 06:06 PM)Does anyone know if Harden was injured from the Phoenix game?
Guest
(04 December 2014 - 03:24 AM)This game is going to look close in the boxscore but this was a blowout
Guest
(05 November 2014 - 09:03 PM)And txtdo1411, Papa is legit!!! Love this overall versatile game. Chandler who?
Guest
(05 November 2014 - 09:01 PM)Let me clarify a bit about my shout - the front court depth could be sitting on the Rockets bench right now - I think Jones/Black being out made me jump the gun. Also just looking at one possible weak link in an otherwise perfect start to this season!
Guest
(05 November 2014 - 03:25 PM)All the Rox need is to shore up that front court depth...could be seeing Papa playing a lot of minutes at 4
Guest
(04 November 2014 - 10:27 PM)I am loving what I see from the Rox so far! Tonight will be a big test vs Miami...
Guest
(22 September 2014 - 04:29 PM)Personally I'd rather have Rondo over Bledsoe by far but I'm not sure the chances of getting Rondo are that high but I am hoping
Guest
(12 August 2014 - 10:01 PM)So....ESPN has the Rockets as the 8th seed in the West...a little disrespectful for a team with 2 of the top 10-15 players. Wish Tomjonavich was around to plaster that in the locker room day in and day out as a reminder to the team...
Guest
(24 July 2014 - 03:40 PM)Rockets sign Clint Capela and has been added to their regular season roster - I like this. He's got a high ceiling...
Guest
(18 July 2014 - 07:10 PM)@ slick shoes - And I'm bringing muzzles for them ladies in case they feel the need to start!
Guest
(18 July 2014 - 07:00 PM)@ slick shoes, great points. Just nervous energy while all productive FAs are starting to get snatched up!
Guest
(18 July 2014 - 03:52 PM)Adrien, Dorsey and Ish Smith signings (all ex-Rockets) don't impress me in the least...They do not replace any of the production that has left...
Guest
(17 July 2014 - 04:25 PM)Bledsoe and PHX are far apart on a deal. He would be a great two way PG but he's probably too expensive...
Guest
(15 July 2014 - 10:25 PM)On my Ariza defense - not in a manner that I think he would succeed in slowing someone down but spot duty - just a crazy thought in my head for the day
Guest
(15 July 2014 - 10:23 PM)@bladad the Rockets could have kept him on for one more year at his rookie contract so technically yes they did
Guest
(15 July 2014 - 06:27 PM)Am I the only person crazy enough to think that Ariza might see time defending a LMA type player?
Guest
(15 July 2014 - 05:36 PM)Adrien can rebound when given the playing time - not familiar with much else of his game
Guest
(15 July 2014 - 05:04 PM)Dorsey is more of a 6'8" PF who is a bruiser and can grab a few rebounds when he plays...Not sure he has developed any of his skill sets to be of real contribution...
Guest
(15 July 2014 - 04:32 PM)@ bladad - I get all of that but 46 mil for 3 years because the Rockets letting him out of his rookie contract is nothing to be offended at. He could have been making 900k this season...
Guest
(15 July 2014 - 02:24 PM)Rockets should have send Parsons, Jones, etc for Love. Then with the Asik trade picking up Ariza and a 1st rounder. Now that would have been the best starting 5 in the NBA
Guest
(15 July 2014 - 02:18 PM)And it's not just the dollar amount, it's the trade kicker and the 3rd year player option. Without a top level signing, matching didn't make sense...
Guest
(15 July 2014 - 02:12 PM)I will say this: Carlisle is a MUCH better coach than McHale but to be offended when ownership lets you out of your rookie contract to get paid early is ridiculous
Guest
(11 July 2014 - 09:52 PM)Last shout of the day, I'm done with the tail-pulling, teasing going on...I'll see you all tomorrow if I can stomach reading ESPN
Guest
(11 July 2014 - 09:51 PM)According to Woj: Chris Bosh is finalizing an agreement to return to Miami on a five-year, $118M deal, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.
Guest
(11 July 2014 - 09:48 PM)I'm done with this roller-coaster, logging off until the dust clears
Guest
(11 July 2014 - 09:47 PM)5 year 118mil deal is Miami threw at Bosh...
Guest
(11 July 2014 - 09:46 PM)What the What??? Bosh is finalizing 5 year deal in Miami without James???
Guest
(11 July 2014 - 09:20 PM)I don't buy that Heat interest. It's like when Cavs made all those trades and not know James was about to come home... Lin is dealt and Alonzo Gee was the finishing piece to the Asik deal
Guest
(11 July 2014 - 09:13 PM)Then who was it that said Bosh is to meet McHale? I do think Bosh is in Ghana right now...
Guest
(11 July 2014 - 09:09 PM)Really can't trust any of these reports until it actually happens almost...
Guest
(11 July 2014 - 09:09 PM)Um yeah so that's really opposite of what was being reported all day since Lebron left. Stein says they were right there and just working out the finances...
Guest
(11 July 2014 - 07:49 PM)Marc Stein: So Rockets have lined up their trades for Asik and Lin and, according to sources, are inching to the brink of a commitment from Chris Bosh
Guest
(11 July 2014 - 07:28 PM)Well said Drew. I do like Lin and would have liked him to succeed in a Rockets uniform but it's always a team first approach. He will be going to his home state of Cali now...
Guest
(11 July 2014 - 06:56 PM)Chris Bosh will soon speak to coach Kevin McHale, moving closer to a commitment to the Rockets, source tells Yahoo.
Guest
(11 July 2014 - 06:51 PM)The Rockets finalizing Jeremy Lin, a future first-round pick and other draft considerations to the Lakers, league source tells Yahoo. - I hope they don't get rid of all of the Rockets picks...
Guest
(11 July 2014 - 06:01 PM)Marc Stein reports that Rockets are working on a trade to send Lin to LA Lakers
Guest
(11 July 2014 - 05:35 PM)Can you imagine how much all of our guts were churning yesterday...? What a difference a day makes...
Guest
(11 July 2014 - 04:29 PM)Just in from WOJ and SI - Lebron is going back to Cleveland!!! Sign Bosh, match Parsons and lets get to camp
Guest
(10 July 2014 - 10:01 PM)Why is Melo waiting? Everyone says he's 99% sure that he wants to go back to NY but that doesn't affect LBJ or Bosh unless something else is at work here...
Guest
(10 July 2014 - 09:25 PM)No Bosh will NOT take 10mil - rumors is that he felt the Heat were low-balling him at 14mil and after the contracts that Hayward and Parsons got, I don't think he takes anything under 18mil
Guest
(10 July 2014 - 05:32 PM)5 on 5 are just opinions though - not sources of reporting
Guest
(10 July 2014 - 05:14 PM)According to ESPN Dwain Price: The 72 hour clock on Parsons hasn't started yet. Donnie Nelson said the offer sheet won't be submitted until tonight.
Guest
(10 July 2014 - 02:13 PM)I hope Rahat's worst case scenario does not come true...I'm starting to get a nasty churn in my stomach
Guest
(10 July 2014 - 02:09 PM)Damm, I thought Parsons would at least wait a bit and look at other possible teams before signing the offer sheet...
Guest
(09 July 2014 - 08:29 PM)Isn't Lebron meeting with Riley right now?
Guest
(09 July 2014 - 04:27 PM)I'm with you FSS. Unless you know away of getting KD here!
Guest
(08 July 2014 - 09:59 PM)Thanks FSS!
Guest
(08 July 2014 - 08:04 PM)Hey fellow Red94ers, I'm back! Sorry I was pretty upset after the playoff loss and also had a baby back in April! Sounds like the FA buzz is killing us all!!!
Guest
(25 March 2014 - 03:17 PM)My thoughts are, based on how we match up with certain teams, perhaps sitting in the 4th seed would be favorable. Getting Portland in the 1st round and SA in the second are teams Rockets have success against. Of course, never count out SA in the playoffs...
Guest
(10 March 2014 - 02:07 AM)Harden and Lin combine for 67 points so far and they brought the Rockets from the grave...
Guest
(08 March 2014 - 07:03 PM)An awesome all around performance last night by the Rockets. The bench also showed what they are capable of with Lin, D-Mo and Hamilton contributing both on O and D.
Guest
(06 March 2014 - 02:57 AM)Now I'm not comparing this team to the Heat, but they won a title being near league worst in turnovers a couple of years ago...
Guest
(27 February 2014 - 04:40 AM)I like this kid Hamilton!
Guest
(27 February 2014 - 04:39 AM)Too many turnovers again - unforced turnovers. What is Bev trying to dribble around Paul for? And that Howard pass to no one...
Guest
(27 February 2014 - 04:15 AM)I thought we were going to see another game like the one in early November...
Guest
(26 February 2014 - 04:56 AM)Why are the starters still playing?
Guest
(26 February 2014 - 03:51 AM)On another note, Danny Granger is looking to be waived by Philly, now that's some firepower off the bench
Guest
(26 February 2014 - 03:51 AM)Fredette is shooting 49% from 3 this year and 40% for his career - how's that not a lights out shooter? Not saying he fits here but he's definitely a catch n shoot player
Guest
(25 February 2014 - 10:11 PM)Fredette will be available for signing as Sac is going to buy him out. A lights out 3pt shooter could be of help to the Rockets
Guest
(20 February 2014 - 08:03 PM)The right move but hate to see AB go...again! Always a fan fave.
Guest
(18 February 2014 - 01:03 AM)I hate how the schedules compact these games when they can clearly spread them out over the course of the season
Guest
(14 February 2014 - 03:24 PM)OKC almost lost but that Durant guy went nuts again for 43 and 12...
