The Houston Rockets and the undefeated February that wasn't.
The Rockets were supposed to go undefeated in February. The only truly "hard" game they had was against the LeBrons. And that ended up being a 20 point victory in the good guys' favor. So what happened? Well... there was the Memphis game. Memphis owns us somehow. This I cannot explain. Then...
It's the one year anniversary of Yao's injury.
One year ago today was strange. And sad. I first heard news that Yao would be sitting out the Washington game with a back injury... then I was told it was his foot that was giving him problems. Later we learned that he might miss 1-2 weeks with a foot sprain. Shortly thereafter, we got the...
Coach Sleepy is a fan of us. Or so it appears.
From today's Chron... it looks like we have a fan! A year ago, when the Rockets got on a roll, Adelman pointed toward the chance of sweeping February. This season, he began the month calling for the sort of run that would make the Rockets a more solid playoff team and more. "We have been...
The Rockets a year ago. When they got good.
On January 29, 2008, the Houston Rockets hosted the Golden State Warriors. At the time, the Rockets were coming off a tough loss to the evil Utah Jazz. The season was slipping away. Again. The Rockets looked nothing like a potential playoff team. Certainly not in the most difficult Western...
Season Review: Right before the Streak, Part II
Shortly after the 2008-09 schedule was released this summer... and right after the Rockets acquired Ron Artest for a rookie and some spare change... I set out to do a regular season game-by-game prediction for the entire season. Right now the Rockets are 28-18... not exactly the pace I expected...
Cue Dan Patrick's line... now
You can't stop Luis Landry - you can only hope to contain them. Memphis did no such thing.Good God, Memphis sucks.I want to have some idea of how good our team is without Yao, but games against Memphis and Washington just do not help me make that evaluation when our opponents make D-League teams...
And the beat goes on!
"You're sixteen... you're beautiful... and you're mine!"Who would have thought that Ringo freakin' Starr would be the person to best sum up the Rockets' winning streak -- which is now SIXTEEN (16)!!!Rockets beat Pacers. Win by 18 points and the Pacers were never really in the game once the first...
The NBA: Where the Houston Rockets happen
I suck at YouTube... but fortunately I'm in the minority there.Saw this today.It is awesome.Go Rockets!
Another undefeated February for Rockets?
After reviewing the 2008/09 schedule for the first time earlier this week, I wanted to punch the NBA schedule-makers. A straight-shot, right to their collective baby-maker(s). But then I noticed something... as bad as November and April might be, we could see the Rockets taking part in yet another...
It's time to start a 17 game winning streak!
Lee will probably have tonight's game preview up this afternoon. Prediction? Rockets win in last game of the year and T-Mac and Scola get lots of time to share jokes with Cookie Monster on the bench in the 4th Quarter. It's the last regular season game of the year.Oh, the memories we had...I bring...
