Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images Rack up the dub! This was a little bit of an early season prove-it game for the Houston Rockets, as they were on the road against cross-state rival and Western Conference contender Dallas Mavericks, and the Rockets rose to the occasion for a 108-102 victory. Houston got off to a fast start, then weathered a Dallas comeback on the strength of their defense and rebounding. The Rockets won won the board battle in this one, with a 50-37 edge, including an 18-10 advantage on the offensive glass. Houston’s offense wasn’t great, as they shot just 41.2 percent as a team, with ..read more

Andrew Dieb-Imagn Images The Rockets look to take down their Southwest Division foe This is the sort of game where, if you win, you announce yourself as a legitimate threat every night. On the road. Against the defending Western Conference champions. The Dallas Mavericks went on a magical playoff run last season. After dispatching the hobbled Clippers, they broke the analytics against the upstart Thunder and then outgunned the weary Timberwolves. Then they ran into a buzzsaw. That still doesn’t detract from the fact that they won the West in a mostly reproducible way. They didn’t stumble into ..read more

Rockets fans hope this version of Jalen Green is here to stay

Daniel Dunn-Imagn Images Don’t get your hopes up yet, but Jalen Green looks as if he might be rounding into All-Star form. I have taken a lot of opposition for my defense of Jalen Green. If I am being honest, most of it deserved. It’s not lost on me the many ways that the first three seasons of his career have been a disappointment. However, much like when my own children disappoint me, I don’t stop loving them and I do not stop believing in them. My very first TDS piece was a comparison of those first three seasons to that of Kobe Bryant’s, comparing how both fan bases were disappointed in th ..read more

Photo by Garrett Ellwood/NBAE via Getty Images The Rockets have many options at forward as they look for consistency. Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Houston Rockets fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. It’s been an inconsistent start to the season for Jabari Smith Jr., as Nick pointed out in his article here at TDS a few days ago. He had a good game last night against the San Antonio Spurs. So we basically have two good games wedged in between two n ..read more

Observations from the first week of the NBA season

Photo by Logan Riely/NBAE via Getty Images Early impressions from a noticer. No, the Boston Celtics have not ruined basketball. You’ll find no one more eager to diminish the accomplishments of the reigning champs than yours truly, but today will not be that day. Yes, they take and make three-pointers at cartoonish levels — as demonstrated in their 29-for-61 demonstration in the season opener — but the NBA would be foolish if they changed the rules to disrupt every fad that hits the league. It’s a copycat league. Teams are going to take what they see working and try to reap the same rewards. It ..read more

Give This One To Jalen | Scott Wachter-Imagn Images Even up, in an uneven victory. Well, that was more difficult than necessary. The Rockets have yet to play three good quarters in a game, let alone four, this season. This game the Rockets started off with a fury, winning a dominant first quarter 29-15. It felt like San Antonio was there for the taking, but the Spurs managed to rally late in the 2nd quarter, after the Rockets had them down 20 points. Despite improved play from the Spurs, the Rockets managed to barely win the quarter, by 3 points, 33 to 30. Despite some ominous signs, the lead ..read more

Daniel Dunn-Imagn Images The Rockets look to bounce back in their last game in San Antonio this season. After the comeback attempt fell short, the Houston Rockets have to turn around and once again take on the San Antonio Spurs. The Rockets and Spurs are competing for the same space in the Western Confernece, at least at the moment. Houston wants to see themselves as a solid play-in squad, while the Spurs are hoping to push into the play-in and get valuable big game experience for Victor Wembanyama and co. Tonight, the Rockets won’t be on a back-to-back, which should help. A loss here would se ..read more

Daniel Dunn-Imagn Images Good Jabari versus bad Jabari has Rockets fans up in arms. The atmosphere of opening night was electric. There was a buzz in the air in anticipation of a new version of the Houston Rockets. Not in the sense that the roster had changed much — Reed Sheppard being the only new face that would see playing time — but because of a renewed resolve to be a winning franchise. Fresh off contract extensions for Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun, on the heels of a 19-game improvement, Rockets fans were ready to explode with the excitement of a statement home win against an inferior C ..read more
