Houston Needs To Re-Sign Goran Dragic
Goran Dragic is in for a tumultuous summer filled with million-dollar promises and a seemingly endless list of point guard-seeking suitors, attractive markets with vacant starting roles like the New York Knicks or Portland Trail Blazers. That’s because the 25-year-old Slovenian and second-year Houston Rocket is an unrestricted free agent after this season, and Houston [...]
Houston Rockets Playoff Scenarios
Entering tonight’s game versus Portland, the Houston Rockets are 31-25 and occupy the sixth seed in the ever-shifting Western Conference. Seeds four through eight are fragile and precarious, flipping almost-daily, so potential playoff match-ups are difficult to peg. But with three straight road wins under its belt — including impressive comeback victories over the Los Angeles [...]
Earl Boykins Is Good For Basketball
Listed at 5 ft. 5, Earl Boykins is short by most measurable human standards. YMCA ballers would likely look right over Boykins when selecting teams, and he can blend in easily unrecognizable walking down the street, unlike the majority of his super-sized peers. So, especially in the NBA, where the average player height is just [...]
Houston Rockets Struggle In Blown Opportunity Versus Dallas
The Houston Rockets surged early and faded in the second half as the Dallas Mavericks won the “I-45 Battle” for the sixth straight time, 90-81, last night. Goran Dragic played well on his sore ankle, scoring 17 points along with seven assists, and Luis Scola, ever the stalwart, dropped a solid 22. But Houston’s bench [...]
Five Thoughts From Houston Rockets & Sacramento Kings
The Houston Rockets (27-23) recovered from a pitiful start to defeat the resurgent Sacramento Kings (17-32) 113-106 in overtime Monday, but with the Dallas Mavericks on the docket tonight, exhausted legs will likely be the story. Goran Dragic and Marcus Camby also left the game with injuries, but both players said they should be ready [...]
Video: Marcus Camby’s Full Court Shot
Here is Marcus Camby’s incredible one-handed full court shot from last night vs. the Sacramento Kings. Although late by at least a second, the surprise swish would have counted as the longest make in NBA history. In hindsight, he probably would have shown some more urgency in the release — I know I was yelling [...]
Kyle Lowry’s 2012 Return Looks Bleak
Kyle Lowry attended today’s shootaround with his Houston Rockets teammates for the first time since being diagnosed with a frightening bacterial infection earlier this month, an encouraging step in his uncertain recovery. But in an interview with Rockets.com writer Jason Friedman, Lowry sounded doubtful about his ability to return to the court in 2012. Before the infection [...]
Video: Rajon Rondo Attempts To Hand Houston The Game
Although Houston lost another overtime heartbreaker — their fourth straight loss — to the Boston Celtics Tuesday, at times it felt as if the Celts were trying to hand Rockets Coach Kevin McHale a homecoming present with a gift wrapped victory. This play essentially sums the game up in a nutshell. Houston never should have [...]
Video: Terrence Williams Finally Growing Up
In an exclusive interview with Clutch Fans, Terrence Williams talked about his surprise spurt of playing time in a 105-103 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Clippers Sunday night. T-Will, a former Louisville star and tantalizing athlete who cannot seem to translate his vast potential into on-court action, played 14 minutes versus L.A. and shot [...]
Kyle Lowry Leads Houston To Another Win
The Houston Rockets’ 88-85 victory over the Toronto Raptors Tuesday night was sloppy, unseemly, and overly close. In other words, exactly the type of contest Kyle Lowry thrives in. Lowry led Houston with 26 points, each one valuable, and a perfect 4-4 mark from behind the arc. Such a pristine offensive effort was especially notable [...]
