Houston Rockets SG James Harden isn't often lauded for his defense, but against the Utah Jazz last evening, he played on a tenacious level.
Houston Rockets SG James Harden isn't often lauded for his defense, but against the Utah Jazz last evening, he played on a tenacious level.
The Houston Rockets are now rumored to have designs on keeping Dwight Howard, and ultimately targeting Kevin Durant in free agency.
The Boston Celtics desperately need some frontcourt help, and they are reportedly interested in acquiring Dwight Howard from the Houston Rockets.
Two of the best shooting (if not the two best) guards in the game both put their clutch gene on display last night. Within a few minutes of each other, Dwyane Wade and then James Harden both hit step-back jumpers in the final minute of the 4th quarter that iced the game for their team.
Josh Smith has returned to the Houston Rockets via trade, and he made the most of his first game back. He scored 16 points off the bench, including this drive on Dirk Nowitzki that made Smith look like Hakeem Olajuwon. Could Ty Lawson and Josh Smith be the spark duo off the bench that rejuvenates this Rockets team?
The Houston Rockets aren't a major contender, and James Harden is to blame.
The Houston Rockets made a huge mistake by trading for Ty Lawson in the offseason, and they can rectify it by moving him before the trade deadline.
Yeah, this just happened.

This backwards shot from Dwight Howard is nothing short of miraculous.
The Houston Rockets didn't have the best start to their 2015-16 season, but they have since turned things around thanks to the play of James Harden.
With the Houston Rockets down by two and needing a bucket to tie the game in overtime, James Harden went to work. Step 1: dirty crossover and blow by your opponent; Step 2: No-look, behind-the-back pass to setup the easy lay-in from Dwight Howard. Magical.
