In the midst of all the season previews, there is one prevailing theme: the Houston Rockets are going to be very, very interesting this year. Win or lose, this team now has personality. A year ago, the roster was rather bland. People were mostly unfamiliar with Scola; Tracy and Yao were not exactly Agent Zero level personalities; Chuck Hayes was good, but bland (okay, he's still kinda bland which only...

When insane Houston Rockets forward Ron Artest put out his rap album My World a couple of years back, we assumed that — much like Allen "Jewelz" Iverson and K.O.B.E. Bryant — we'd never have to hear about his music again. But Ron's back! And, somehow, inching toward relevance? His crew, the Worldwide Wariers, is putting out a new mix tape, Kings of Queens , through DJ Drama's legit Gangsta Grillz...

We are only 27 days from the start of the Houston Rockets' regular season (where we host Memphis at 7:30pm that Monday night). Which means we need to re-declare something: RAFER ALSTON SUCKS! Whew... that felt good!! For some reason, I haven't felt compelled to say that in a while! Why now? Maybe it's because John Hollinger agrees with me . Biggest Weakness: Point guard The Rockets have four-fifths...

So, basically, premier NBA small forward and hair-trigger bench brawler Ron Artest of the Houston Rockets will sample the melodious sounds of Chris Martin on his new mixtape of raps. I know, you are so bored of this same basketball-player-samples-Coldplay story and its variants, but SORRY. We're just reporting the news. You can hear a bit of the track "Lost (Feat. Ron Artest)," which samples " Lost...

If you’re like me, you’ve spent most of this month staring out the window wondering to yourself, “if Houston Rockets F Ron Artest was quizzed by a Chinese hip hop website about the state of the genre, what sort of insights might he share?” Thanks to the research of You Been Blinded, said daydreaming can [...]

Yesterday was Houston Rockets media day; which means its time (at least for bloggers, early birds and now Astros fans) to refocus our energy on the upcoming NBA season. So my heretofore all-consuming fantasy football team to which hours a week had been dedicated to ensure a repeat Championship will be put in the sidecar as we burn on into Rockets '08-'09 season. Let's start off with some links... Obviously,...

HOUSTON (NBA) - Yao Ming’s ability to remain fit for an entire season is one of the hot topics heading into the new NBA campaign. The China center was in fine fettle with the Houston Rockets in February, only for the 7ft 6in giant to go down with a stress fracture in his foot. Yao required a season-ending operation and barely made it back in ...

55. I consider this to be a magic number for the Houston Rockets franchise. Why "55," you might ask?? Well... in the limited history of the team, "55" has always been a good indication of future success. And by 55, I mean regular season wins. You see, last year the Rockets finished 55-27 in the regular season. It was good enough to get to the playoffs, but not very far beyond that. It was also only...
