Grow! Grow! Groooow Reed! | Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports Apropos of nothing in particular. (Reed Sheppard) Is YOUR team’s point guard “too small”? Do squirrels, chipmunks and voles tower over him? Is he awful wee? Diminutive? Compact? Fun sized? Totally teensy? In need of embiggening? Adorable? Lilliputian? Find out why that’s The Very Worst Thing Ever here! Around...

Photo by Kate Frese/NBAE via Getty Images Will the Rockets swing for the fences? Welcome to NBA Draft day, everyone. In a matter of hours, or perhaps sooner, we’ll know if Houston uses the No. 3 overall pick or packages it in a deal to land an established or emerging star. There is no league like the NBA when it comes to entertaining offseasons. On the eve of the 2024 NBA Draft,...

Kiyoshi Mio-USA TODAY Sports Happy Father’s Day to all! I recently posed the question of whether the Houston Rockets would consider drafting the son of an NBA legend — LeBron James — and while my point in that blog wasn’t to create a farfetched scenario of father and son joining forces in H-Town, it did remind me how genuinely cool it will be to see the two of them sharing the...

Let's take a look back at a Rockets unsung hero Carl Herrera. In the second part of our Houston Rockets Rewind, we look at another sometimes forgotten but still essential part of the Rockets’ back-to-back championships, Carl Herrera. Even though he was never a starter, Herrera was the player every contending team needs: a rugged defender who hustles every play and is a great teammate....

Photo by Logan Riely/NBAE via Getty Images Is Spida the next star to takeover H-Town? The Houston Rockets pursuit of a star has been talked about ad nauseum and although the discourse can get tiring, fantasizing over “what could be” is what keeps bringing us back. Since the Rockets’ season ended earlier than hoped, I’ve been calculating who the biggest star that Houston can...

Photo by Jeff Haynes/NBAE via Getty Images In the second round, of course. Let’s establish that this isn’t about luring the big kahuna, aka LeBron Raymone James Sr., but I want him to know that there’s an open invite should he be interested. In total earnest, I’m here to make a case for the Houston Rockets drafting Bronny James in the second round of this year’s NBA Draft ,...

Yes, that’s Rudy and KAT in the WCF. | Photo by Bart Young/NBAE via Getty Images The Guard Has Changed Welcome to the Conference Finals. No team that has won a title recently will be playing in them, unless you consider the Boston 2007-08 to be recent. (To be fair, it’d seem pretty recent to Rockets fans.) The Celtics are old hands at the ECF, going to six of the last eight, but...

Otis Thorpe is a Rockets legend and should never be forgotten Otis Thorpe was a tenacious rebounder, one of the best outlet passers in NBA history, and a true iron man who rarely missed games. Thorpe may not be the first name you think of when you talk Houston Rocket legends, but he should be mentioned a lot more, because without OT, we may still be waiting for the first-ever Rockets...

Photo by Alex Bierens de Haan/Getty Images Simply put, this was a season of what ifs for the injury riddled forward. While the 2023-24 Houston Rockets season is unequivocally a success, it still feels incomplete due to what, or rather who, was missing. Unfortunately, a pre-season leg injury compounded into season ending surgery and postponed a Tari Eason takeover. Eason attempted...
