Brilliant and heartbreaking.

Wow. This is remarkable.

This is outstanding. Please read.

The Rockets have a difficult upcoming schedule before the All-Star break. Nine games but only one against a tanking team. Going 6-3 would be a good result, imo. How do you think they'll finish? SAS @ ATL* DAL @ IND BOS CHA* @ OKC LAC LAC* * Back to back

Houston Rockets teams rankings by month this season: October: #1 offense, #20 defense November: #3 offense, #2 defense December: #4 offense, #17 defense January: #20 offense, #11 defense What does this tell you? #NBASky

Outstanding. @tjsharkfan.bsky.social

Recently heard some podcasters saying that the Rockets should not care about playoff seeding. Strongly disagree; they need to push for #2 if the goal is to get to the WCF. - They are a much better team at home. That’s important versus Denver. - They don’t want to finish 4/5 and see OKC in R2.

Sengun was guarding Champagnie there and just wandered away. Easy bucket.

What in the world is going wrong with Toyota Center Operations recently? The @HoustonRockets organization is looking like a 🤡show.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

Exactly right.

Houston Rockets in the All-Star Voting: Durant: 5th players, 9th fans, 7th media Sengun: 32nd players, 10th fans, 13th media Thompson: 32nd players, 25th fans, (no media votes) Thoughts?

Sam Vecenie on Reed Sheppard: “I wouldn’t want to go into the playoffs fully counting on Reed.” Trade Capela for Ayo Dosunmu?

To be fair, the Texans defense probably had a better chance to score than their offense did.

The last time these teams played, the Thunder hunted Reed. Sheppard has not yet checked into the game as he normally would. Do we see him tonight while the game remains competitive?

Wow, look at this. The American auto industry has basically become irrelevant on the world market.

The #Rockets have 10 games remaining in January. Their performance over this stretch will tell us a lot about the team. OKC Minnesota* NO SAS @ Philadelphia @ Detroit* Memphis SAS @ Atlanta* Dallas *B2B If they go at least 7-3 then we can start believing in them again. #NBASky

I mean what can you say except dudes rock

Wow. A real CJ Stroud disasterclass tonight.

Here is the 3P shooting for #Rockets' players over the last five games. Warning: adult content. Not safe for your mental health. Durant: 32% Smith: 14% Sheppard: 30% Eason: 36% DFS: 22% Holiday: 7% Thompson: 9% Okogie: 0% Sengun: 20%

Don’t get cute with the clock. Just score the touchdown.

@johnhollinger.bsky.social I did not realize your joke about Udoka drawing up a play for an offensive rebound was so supported statistically. HOU leads the NBA in off timeout ORtg at a comical 148.3. Their eFG% is 47.8% (14th) and TS% 53.3% (11th) aren’t special. But 19.3 putback pts per 100 is

🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific. They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him. Stop the lies.

“A social media video shows a uniformed DHS officer kicking over a candle at a memorial set up for Renee Nicole Good, who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis.” "The officer in the video told a protester who confronted him, ‘I don't give a f—.’” people.com/dhs-officer-...

"You deserve to die if you disagree with us" is their position. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.

The Steven Adams Effect: How the Net Rating of each player on the #Rockets is impacted by the presence of Adams on the court: Tari Eason: +16.5 Reed Sheppard: +16.0 Jabari Smith: +13.1 Josh Okogie: +12.6 Amen Thompson: +8.0 Kevin Durant: +6.9 Alperen Sengun: -7.2

The #Rockets have had two players make the All-Star team six times this century. 2020: Harden/Westbrook 2014: Harden/Howard 2006: Yao*/McGrady 2005: Yao/McGrady 2004: Yao/Francis 2003: Yao/Francis Will KD and Sengun be next? * Didn't play due to injury

Jeffries: "The American people are supposed to believe that this whole situation that has unfolded in Venezuela has anything to do with a counter-narcotics operation? Get lost."

There is no reason not to launch a primary campaign against an incumbent Democratic Senator in Rhode Island.

Houston Rockets' team performance in Clutch situations: 2025-26 (15 games YTD): Offense: 18th Defense: 24th 2024-25 (44 games) Offense: 18th Defense: 9th So, this year's team has not improved their clutch-time offense, and their defense has cratered. Plenty of work to do. #NBASky

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Is Anthony Davis the single worst individual player matchup for Houston in the entire NBA? He’s too big and strong for Jabari and Sengun, too quick for Adams and Capela, and much too big for Amen or anyone else on the roster. #NBASky

So the Nuggets beat the Raptors with 80% of their starting lineup missing and the Spurs beat the Knicks with Wemby getting hurt and missing the last 10 minutes. The Eastern Conference remains trash. #NBASky

We have simply given away the future by putting that man and the rest of the Republicans back into office.

Make a Bond movie casual Zirconia are Forever The Spy who Kinda Liked Me A View to a Parking Lot

This is what I'm talking about. The Rockets have been passed.

I know some will just call me a Stan, but the Rockets miss what Jalen Green did for them.

I spent an entire year with Wemby as my Twitter avatar only for the NBA to send him to the town by the muddy ditch.

Kevin Durant dribbling for 20 seconds and then putting up a contested fadeaway middle was really the best shot Houston could get to end the third quarter?

The fact that the Spurs are taking the spot in the NBA hierarchy that we thought the Rockets would hold is so disappointing.

I’ve no idea what Ryan Hollins is talking about. The Rockets are not going to take away Harden’s legs by letting him drive to his left whenever he wants. This is easy work for James.

The #Rockets are very far from an elite defensive team right now.

All of these things are band-aids that won't fix tanking. If the NBA really wants to stop tanking then the only way is to end the reverse-order draft entirely. Roll out The Wheel or some other system that disconnects your W/L record from your draft position. #NBASky

Note: for all our angst about the late game offense, the #Rockets defense has collapsed recently. League ranks: Full Season/Last 10 games/Last 5 games Offense: 4th/5th/5th Defense: 4th/12th/26th They need to get back to being elite defensively - soon.

Your superstar center blows clutch free throws and throws up a hopeless shot after looking off an open Durant to end regulation. Your starting PG cannot make a shot outside of three feet and has such a limited handle that he can’t get to the rim against quick defenders.

Taps the sign.

Derrick Queen is apparently an awful flopper.
