One of the biggest reasons for the Rockets' turnaround has been the play of Jalen Green. On Monday, the NBA recognized Green's stellar play by awarding the Houston Rockets shooting guard the Western Conference Player of the Week award. The...

Some things to observe over the Rockets final 15 games

Photos by Michael Gonzales/NBAE via How much will change without the big man in the middle? With the good news being that Alperen Sengun has avoided a catastrophic fracture or tear, we can now pivot to what we should observe over the Houston Rockets’ final 15 games of the regular season. In all likelihood, the severe ankle sprain and bone bruise to the knee have ended Sengun’s season. I will only touch on Sengun’s replacement options briefly as Charles has already outlined that for the readers of TDS. Had this injury occurred later on or lingered into the start...

Know Direction?

But of All The Thompson Gunners, Amen Was The Best | Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports Not Playing The Odds There’s something I’d like to get clear. The Rockets aren’t tanking. At all. That’s over.

Military, water, gas, fish, air, or otherwise, no tanks are currently in the Rockets plans. On the ESPN podcast “The Hoop Collective” earlier this week Brian Windhorst suggested, at windy...

Houston walloped the Washington Wizards 135-119 tonight behind a season-high 37 point performance from Jalen Green. The Rockets played well tonight, besides turning the ball over 17 times tonight and sometimes meandering into the Wizards hasty pace.
