2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
Honestly, I’d take a split. Suns are playing well, unfortunately, and GSW on the road is a Rockets black hole. Jazz are also playing well. Playing them in bizarre back to back in SLC on Sunday and Monday.

Agreed. He’s averaging 36 minutes a game. Need to push that down to around 30.

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
Whatever happens with Lane, he should coach his team through their playoff appearance.

Brian Kelly to L$U
Kind of shitty. At least sneak him in a luxury suite so he can see his son run out for Senior Day in person. I completely understand not putting him on the field.

So the million dollar question is did Lane always prefer LSU over Florida, or did the Gators fumble the bag? I’ll will myself to listen to Andy Staples’ podcast to listen to his spin.- The movie you just watched
I’ll probably get flamed, but The Apprentice is a terrific movie that has a Succession prequel vibe that I enjoyed. Stan is a revelation, and Strong is excellent as always. Strong is so method I shudder to think about his preparation to play Roy Cohn. New York in the 70s was an interesting place.

Beating a dead horse here, but they signed DFS for this very instance, Durant being unavailable. I’m pretty frustrated.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
- Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Has anybody ask the CFP committee if Texas is being evaluated against the 2 loss teams? If not, they lied through their teeth about encouraging big time OOC games. That said, our season ended at Florida. We can lie to ourselves to make it feel better, but it was over October 4th. The only thing in front of this team now is preventing aggy from playing for the SEC Title.- Task (HBO)

The Yahoo Sports hoops guys hit the Rockets-Nuggets comparisons pretty hard this week, and I think we saw it last night. They’re just a more developed version with statistically the greatest center of all time. What gives me hope is that we have Durant, and Amen or Reed could emerge as All NBA players down the road. I believe Jokic is shooting in the high 70s from mid range, and over 90% near the basket. He’s a problem if he just catches it inside the arc. As good as OKC is, they were lucky to escape the WCF. I hope and pray we don’t see either until the conference finals.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
Kind of concerning they largely outplayed us with Braun out. He could turn a playoff game. Durant needs to play about 30 minutes a game. Full stop. An ambitious Chronicle reporter needs to meet a Rockets trainer in a Methodist parking garage and get DFS’ medical records. This shit is ridiculous. 14 games in and the we have no idea on even a timeline. .- NBA 2025-2026 Season Thread
The Yahoo Sports hoops guys suggested Chicago. I think they’re in the right neighborhood. Vucevic has an expiring contract and the Mavs desperately need picks. The Bulls have Portland’s first in 2026, and then they control all their picks through 2031. Also, AD is from Chicago to he might OK it.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?

Is this some kind of Make A Wish for regards podcast? Both options discussed are so profoundly stupid that they don’t warrant discussion.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
Simmons and Lowe reranked the 2024 Draft and they had Reed 2nd behind Sarr. Better than Risacher is wild, but I’m there too. I guess Castle didn’t come up because of his injury.- Pluribus - Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn
Oviedo appears to be very offline. His contact with the outside world appears limited to a radio and a land line. He also might not interact frequently with other people. It’s possible the hive mind didn’t know enough about it him to figure out where he was for a day +.- Houston Texans 2025 Season Thread
I mean they’re in it. And they’re getting Stroud back + 10 days off. Has to be top 10 regular season win for the franchise.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
I wouldn’t trade a protected first for Morant. He’s washed.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
Well let’s see what they focused on. - 3rd quarter stall against the Cavs. Welp, Durant played like shit for the first time this season. No other examples. That’s it. Just this game. Just this quarter. - The female host kept repeating the Rockets are the worst 3 point shooting team in the league. They’re near the top in percentage. Near the bottom in attempts. 21st in made 3’s. So they’re not the worst, and nobody checked her once. I’m fine with them taking wide open 3’s and taking everything else to the basket. See the Celtics postseason. - People get paid well for this bullshit. Please teach me how. - Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
