Should Rafael Stone be on the hot seat following Kevin Porter Jr. incident?

Is Stone the future GM of the Rockets? | Photo by Cristobal Zelaya/NBAE via Could Stone’s commitment to Kevin Porter Jr. cost him his job? Alternate title: Another Rafael Stone piece. Alternate alternate title: Another KPJ piece. Sigh. The season could not come quickly enough. You’d rather be reading about which lineups are succeeding and failing, and which areas of the floor Amen Thompson is defending well. Only, the NBA is rumored to be cracking down on public access to advanced metrics and openly looking to squash illegal streaming services. I guess I’ll...

Who will lead the Rockets in each major category this season?

Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports Who will lead the Rockets in these major categories next season? We are now a little over a week away from new Houston Rockets content after a rollercoaster of an offseason. Media day is eight days away, and training camp is nine days away. We saw the Rockets have a great draft night, big-name free-agent signings, and excellent summer league performances. We also had horrible allegations come to light against Kevin Porter Jr. that have still not been resolved. As I said, it is an up-and-down offseason. In today's article, though, I want to...

Gilbert Arenas criticizes Hakeem Olajuwon for training rates

Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports Excuse me? In a big WTF of the day, Gilbert Arena went in on one of the game’s all-time greats when he cirticized Houston Rockets great Hakeem Olajuwon for charging $50k per training session at his big man school. On his podcast, Arenas said: “Nobody wants the Hakeem Olajuwon sky hook. Nobody wants none of that... You should be ashamed of yourself, charging these young whippersnappers $50,000. When you came in the league in 1984, you wasn’t even making $50,000 a game. You’re trying to make your month back through the youth! Do not...

Predicting Rockets best defensive lineup this season

Predicting Rockets best defensive lineup this season

Petre Thomas-USA TODAY Sports Let’s put the clamps down. The Houston Rockets did quite a bit of tinkering with the roster this offseason and now we’re on the verge of seeing what that will amount to with preseason just around the corner. We have a solid idea of what the Rockets rotation will look like going forward, but what about specific lineups for specific situations? Other than the projected starting lineup — Fred VanVleet x Jalen Green x Dillon Brooks x Jabari Smith Jr. x Alperen Sengun — Ime Udoka will be tasked with mixing and matching to find lineups...

Could Duncan Robinson soon be a Rocket? | Photo by Eric Espada/ The outlook is bleak. I can’t stop thinking about the situation. You? It’s honestly just...so....gross. There’s a lot of morality to unpack around the situation too. Not on his end - what he did was unequivocally disgusting. Yes, details are perpetually emerging. It’s possible that his actions weren’t as severe as initially reported. Unless this was all a sick, elaborate prank, that shouldn’t change anything. Kevin Porter Jr. is an abuser.

Jim Dedmon-USA TODAY Sports Here is how the Rockets rotation will look for the upcoming season. We were already going to see a significant change this upcoming season with the Houston Rockets. With a new head coach in Ime Udoka, new more established players like Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks, and a new win-now attitude. We were going to see a different Rockets team in 2023-24.
