Another week of Houston Rockets basketball down, with an ever-changing roster. Houston has rolled out a different starting lineup for every game since the James Harden trade.

I need to preface this whole piece with one thing: I have loved PJ Tucker since he set foot on the University of Texas campus in 2003. PJ Tucker came to the Longhorns just after TJ Ford’s exodus following their Final Four run. The TJ to PJ transition was natural, even if PJ was not […]

During the NBA season, every night several dozen players lace up squeaky new sneakers and hit the floor. As “SneakerHead Culture” has grown, the kicks on people’s feet have become more and more unique.

It’s weird to see James Harden in a different uniform now. Harden has been a staple in the Houston Rockets for the last eight seasons before asking for a trade last November. After finally being traded on January 13th (with a messy public ask for a trade on the 12th), Harden has found his new […]

Note: Full “peek behind the curtain” on Houston Rockets’ Round-Up here… each section of this gets written as it happens each week.
