Houston Rockets vs. Brooklyn Nets game preview
The Rockets look to extend their 3-game winning streak when they welcome the Brooklyn Nets to the Toyota Center. Skipping the matchups today because of injuries making that a fool's errand. Both Patrick Beverley and James Harden are questionable. You have to wonder if Beverley getting the flu is not the worst thing in the world for the Rockets. Now obviously the flu sucks. A lot of us have been there and we know how miserable being that sick can be. But it's allowed Bev to get away from basketball for a while and sometimes that's what a player needs. Patrick Beverley plays like a man...

What Are The Rockets Trade Deadline Needs?
Where can the Houston Rockets improve on the floor to become a real championship contender? With the trade deadline just a few hours away the Houston Rockets have a few places on the team that need to be shored up. You can check out pieces written by Ethan on Assets and Possible Targets by Danny. Both are great pieces and should definitely read before hitting this one up.

If you combine the play of Patrick Beverley, Nick Johnson, Jason Terry, Isaiah...

Patrick Beverley wins the Skills Challenge, somehow
lol Like everyone predicted when Patrick Beverley replaced John Wall in the Skills Competition bracket, Mr. 94 Feet went and won the whole dang thing. He took out Isaiah Thomas, Jeff Teague and Brandon Knight in succession to win a $30,000 scholarship for some kid. In the first round, Beverley and Thomas both failed to hit their three-point shots at the end, and Beverley used a little Knockout-style chicanery to get in his layup first. That prompted a confusingly-decorated Anthony Davis to look at Beverley like this: In the second round, Pat upset the favored (by me) Teague after...

Patrick Beverley to replace John Wall in the Skills Competition
