One thing has become crystal clear in the past few weeks - the dreaded Texas Triangle is a thing of the past. The Rockets are coming to terms with this fact and have been acting accordingly. The Spurs have cleverly positioned themselves to unload essentially their whole roster by the time Tim Duncan's current contract expires. It allows them the ( Read more... )

Well, I'm a little excited. The new Radiohead album "The King of Limbs" is coming out this weekend - this after little to no warning from the band except "coming soon." I thought I'd share my simpleton fanboy musings on what I find to be one of the most interesting bands of our generation ( Read more... )

I had been so busy with work that I had totally neglected this blog, since Rockets news had died down a bit and other teams had made big moves. But this is officially crisis mode. The Rockets are now facing a very frightening possibility of becoming a lottery team. Obviously there are much worse things going around in the world today, but lets ( Read more... )

Game 2 was butt ugly. It was a group of pansies used to winning with ease finding themselves seriously challenged. Watching 3 yellow jerseys try to pick a fight with Scola and get a reaction? The smirk on Odom's face says it all. Derek Fisher had a nasty hit on Scola, which has no place in the game of basketball. He may be a great citizen off the ( Read more... )
