The facts are the facts:The Rockets lost to the Celtics 97-93 last night.It counts just as much as if we lost by 40.The Rockets are now 15-17.T-Mac is still out of the lineup.Rafer Alston still sucks.Yao Ming is still a badass.But there are many things to be learned from last night's game.1....

Ian Thomsen, you are on notice

Seriously, a few weeks ago I almost wrote a post about his completely egregious claim that Chris "Caveman" Kaman was even close to as productive as Yao, much less what he actually said. Not to mention his ridiculous assertion that Stoudemire should be in over Yao:CenterFans' Current Pick: Yao...

Is the glass half empty or half full?

The Rockets back their way into the mid-point of the season at 22-19.If we continue this pace of mediocrity, we'd finish the season 44-38, and we'd miss out on the playoffs entirely. I refuse to accept that this is a possibility. Sure, we're not going to make Hollinger look like Nostradamus - we're...

Hey, New York Knicks........Apologize!!!You cannot stop Yao. You can only hope to contain him. Or foul the shit out of him. But he shoots 90% from the line, so that doesn't work either. Isiah saw it coming, so he left the show early. Guess he doesn't like predictable endings. (and you can be sure I...

Tonight at 6 Post Meridiem Central Standard Time… wait, now I get why we just say 6 PM CST, that’s a lot easier. Anyway, at 6 PM CST tonight the Houston Rockets will take on the Orlando Magic. This could be a big game. It is a chance to go 3-1 with Tracy out and a win against a good team; which we...

6 and 6!!!

You know, there have been years when the Rockets have gotten back to .500 and it has excited me. The problem is that those years they were under .500 and fighting back to get to .500. This year, we were at 6-1 and had to lose 5 games in a row to get to the bad side of even. I tried my best not to...

A Petition to Remove Rafer

On October 4, 2005, the Houston Rockets made a rare personnel mistake. They traded Mike James - a key player on a playoff team - to Toronto for one Rafer Alston. This man:In the interim 2+ years, Mr. Alston has proceeded to amass the following statistics: 12.1 ppg/6.7 apg in '05/'06 and 13.3...
