2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
It feels like Spurs fan is riding the Yao injury roller coaster. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone, but if it was going to happen to one fanbase…

So let’s call a month for Wemby. 1 more injury of any significance could drop him out of All NBA and All Defense. I have some issues with the rule, but availability is an essential skill.

Wardell is a straight up sadistic villain.

He would KILL as Wardell.

Pluribus - Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn
Based on this page alone, Gilligan made a great call deciding the main character would be a woman. Haha

Fun show, but this world doesn’t exist. It did maybe 50 years ago. I guess it’s a Cody Campbell analog, but he basically had to vacuum salesman his acreage door to door around Fort Worth until somebody bought it. I guess it’s a more interesting show than XOM, Chevron, COP, and OXY white hairs having coffee before a PowerPoint presentation in Davos.

Kind of reminds me of the old Warriors games. They play like shit, Rockets play their best game and we lose. Nice to be on the other side.

Reed is balling. Working on my open letter apology. Jabari’s face on the slo mo replay was great.

Playing super hard and everything is going to lot basket for a lay up or kicking it out for an open 3.

I’ll agree with the last 2 bullet points. - The others didn’t know about the man in Paraguay for the first 33 hours. That’s a massive blind spot. And if it happened once, it could happen again. - Carol froze her eggs and she’s immune, so there’s your genetic material to map out a vaccine.

The Magic are hot. Won 5 of their last 7 and playing a lot better on offense. Should be a good game this evening. edit* Banchero is probably not going to play.

Chauncey Billups and the Mafia
The Pernas have been around a long time. I’m not diving down the lineage rabbit hole, but there’s been a running the Lucchese’s Jersey Crew since the early 1990s.

Rough night. The game and I heard probably the worst anecdote of my entire life. Hug your puppies.

Does almost exactly the same thing as Raye, with none of the curves.

Alright I’m going to try and forget college football exists for the next couple months. Best podcasts for an aspiring hoops head? Yes, I listen to Game Theory already.

Nice to laugh after that bullshit in Athens. Strong start. They finally figured out a use for Marcello.

Well not much has changed since the Florida loss. We knew then and we certainly know it now, the Rockets were our only hope for local sports greatness this year.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
I think he’s safe for another year. He can probably somewhat convincingly sell Arch’s final season and running it back one last time. That said the NFL taking him off our hands would be terrific and probably result in the least amount of roster turnover. As always, the next guy is what’s most important. Gotta have him in place before anything else moves.

I think Davison is a better scorer, but man he’s looked uneven in the regular season, and Holiday is a better defender of course. The DFS injury is baffling and reminds me of some of the Astros bullshit. No updates, no timeline, no practice reports, and I don’t think he’s talked to a reporter since media day.

I think Tate is fine as the 12th guy on your bench, and they’re not paying him much. But if you ask him to play 10+ minutes a game, it’s a problem. They’re going to really miss Tari’s scoring. He and Reed were nice 1-2 punch off the bench. Get well soon.

Is it possible that Sark is a really good playcaller and has OU’s number? Because my eyes see a pretty elite defense right now.
