Should the Rockets sacrifice Kenyon Martin Jr for Jonathan Kuminga? | Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports We’re not the first to suggest it. Should they? If you don’t want to work an NBA fanbase into a frenzy, do not put a hypothetical trade proposal on the internet. Recently, it’s been Rockets fans foaming at the mouth. Bleacher Report mentioned the team as a possible conduit in a deal that would have the Golden State Warriors landing Jae Crowder. In return, Houston would send out KJ Martin and Eric Godon in exchange for Jonathan Kuminga. On the surface, it seems...

It Was Glorious, Until They Ruined It. | Photo by Matthew Stockman/ The Took The Duel From Us, Though. If you will forgive me, reader, I wrote quite a lot for Five Out, so this may be a recap that mostly talks about the game, rather than general Rockets topics in the context of the game. he anticipated freakout with Bruno Fernando starting didn’t happen, as Alperen Sengun started and went to town. This was the Rockets third game in four nights, and they did not stretch their win streak out to three games. They competed, and stayed roughly level in a first half...

Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports It’s the third game in four nights for the Houston Rockets, so of course the Denver Nuggets have been off for two days. Remember, the schedule-makers always hate your team and no one else’s. The Nuggets have dealt with injuries, illness, and an inconsistent bench, yet are second in the West (as of this writing) at 12-7. Portland and Utah got off to fast starts, but Denver now sits atop the Northwest Division. To no one’s surprise, Nikola Jokic is having another MVP-caliber season so far. Yes, I can hear you saying, “But AK,...

Future NBA Scoring Champ? | Photo by Alex Bierens de Haan/ Big Plans for Everybody Welcome again to a Belated Holiday Five Out. I had intended to write this for either Wednesday or Friday around Thanksgiving. Obviously that didn’t happen. I’ll plead the excuse of “The Rockets didn’t even play until Friday”, but honestly, it was food, and family. This is kind of what you get in the niche superfan end of the sports writing market. Anyhow, I’ve decided to formalize my “player plan” comments here, instead of covering the NBA. I’ll hit that again on...

The Houston Rockets came back from a large deficit in the third quarter, after the Atlanta Hawks backcourt Trae Young and Dejounte Murray we’re throwing a slew of taunts towards the Rockets way, as the Hawks went on a 9-2 run. The most notable of taunts, included a three-point contested shot that was made in front of Jabari Smith Jr. that led to Murray to tap Jabari in the head as a way to ‘son’...

Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports The Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder feel like they’ll have their fates intertwined forever. First, they were brought together by the James Harden trade. The two teams met in the playoffs twice, both times in the first round, and both times won by the superior team. There was also a James Harden vs. Russell Westbrook MVP debate that I won’t rehash. And finally, there was the Westbrook trade that gave control of Houston’s draft picks to OKC after next season. So among other things, OKC is a big reason why Houston...

Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports The Houston Rockets have their Opening Night rematch with the Atlanta Hawks tonight, but I know that everyone really wants to read my political hot takes regarding the upcomingUS Senate runoff in Georgia. Just kidding. Can you imagine if I took a game preview and turned it into politics? Darren would fire me so fast. Anyway, the Rockets and Hawks did meet in each team’s first game. The Rockets hung around, aided by Bruno Fernando, but succumbed in the end to Atlanta’s feistiness. Newly-acquired Dejounte Murray had 20/11/5/5. In fact,...
