Rockets Beat Kings: Yes, This Win Matters. Don't Laugh, It's Rude

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 06:58:36 +0000

Three months ago, if someone had told you, and by you I mean me, that watching the Rockets sans Yao and McGrady play the Kevin Martin-less Sacramento Kings in late November would be a highly competitive, tightly contested, back and forth affair, you (I) would have chucked a crumpled up Rockets 2009-10 Season Preview at them and kept wallowing in self-pity, dreading a season in which the Rockets would be without their three leading scorers from last year. Yet, here we are. Those season previews are still crumpled up but we're too happy to throw them at anyone. McGrady and Yao and still out and the Rockets are still as exciting to watch as ever. And oh, yeah, those Kings are 4-3 without Martin and actually bearable to watch. The Rockets, in a manner nearly the exact opposite of what one would expect from a team playing its fifth game in seven nights just 25 hours after losing on a buzzer-beating tip-in, came out and played what I've come to know as "Daryl Morey Presents: Rockets Basketball." ...

Tracy McGrady Situation Is a Dicey One For Houston Rockets

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:27:29 +0000

Houston Rockets guard and former cornerstone Tracy McGrady hasn't played in an NBA game since Feb. 9 against Milwaukee last season. A few days later, it was announced that McGrady would undergo season-ending microfracture surgery on his left knee. Is it any coincidence that, immediately following the announcement, the Rockets went on to win six straight and 11 of their next 13 games? Maybe, maybe not. While McGrady was on the floor last season, he often looked disinterested and out of place, often just standing 30 feet from the basket and passing the ball around the perimeter. Much like Ron Artest, McGrady's presence and demands for the ball made it difficult for Aaron Brooks to assert himself offensively, making him a much more timid player. McGrady hasn't played a minute so far this season, and the Rockets are 7-5, in second place in the Southwest Division. This year's Rockets team runs the floor, plays hard on both ends, and shoots a high percentage. So, it begs the question: Does ...

Hide The Women And Children, Tracy Is At It Again

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:20:54 +0000

It never fails. It really, truly, never fails. Tracy "You Better Still Call Me T-Mac" Mcgrady is at it again. This happens every time we show the slightest hint of optimism about him, every time a sliver of hope peaks through the shroud of darkness that has been Tracy Mcgrady's tenure as a Rocket: he squashes it. To stay recent with my examples, after a phenomenal 2008 Playoffs he announced he needed shoulder and knee surgery, quelling any ideas that he was for once fully healthy. Last season he distracted and restricted the team, trying to play through an injury while making sure everybody knew that he was, in fact, injured by looking absolutely miserable on the floor, shooting like it was 2003 and then destroying any chance we had at trading him by announcing the day before the trade deadline that he would be getting microfracture surgery. Now, after weeks of stories about how motivated he is and how well he is progressing, apparently Mcgrady and Adelman had a heated exchange before ...

The Evolution of the NBA Poster Prop

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:20:12 +0000

As passionate NBA fans, we have witnessed change since day one; the peach basket and leather ball has come a long way. We have seen the progress of game play and the growth of different hair styles. And let’s face it; the change hasn't always been for the better. As care takers of the wonderful sport, we've stood our ground and protested the ugly, the unjust and the excessive. Yes, we have seen change around the NBA. Nevertheless, there has been a low key development occurring in basketball ever since its birth. That is the evolution of the poster prop. Shuffling defensive feet pays off, but it also comes at a huge cost. Begin Slideshow
