Currently in DC, became a Rockets fan growing up on the Canadian border of New York. Was a Bills fan for as long as I can remember (Even with a mother who was a Cowboys fan, an uncle as a Vikings fan, and a grandfather who pulled for the Giants).

Game 13: Rockets v. Wizards Game Thread
420Tip off is set to begin soon and I don't see a thread up about the game. This is the game I should be at but due to financial constraints is not. The Rockets are looking to make it three straight...

Rockets Drop Spurs 101-87 In Preseason Game 1
167The Houston Rockets defeat the San Antonio Spurs 101-87 in their first preseason appearance. Jordan Hill put on a strong performance at center worthy of putting some doubt in the minds of critics discussing Houston's "absence" at the center position.

Nets, Warriors, and Rockets in the lead for Tyson Chandler
106Not sure how I feel about this. He remedies everything we need but depending on the price we could sink a lot of money into a guy who might not be a long term solution. He was drafted in 2001 and he's 29 years old.

How League Offer Could Alter Movement and the Market
3I figure since we have a video trying to continue to laud the players some balance was required. I know how it's the trendy thing to throw your anger at people who have success right now but it's important to realize in this NBA issue the players have as much blood on their hands as the owners. Primarily the Miami Threetards catalyzing the Owner's hard push.

The 2011 Offseason or How I Learned to Stop Fretting and Trust the Rockets
Greetings fellow TDS-ers, I'm BD34 (Brandon), you may know me from such famous posts as "Go f*ck yourself with a cactus." or "The NBA Trade Deadline Evaluation". I'm here today to speak to all of...

Rockets call up Harris
Because since Budinger is injured, fuck T-Will. Smooth move with a shift in our starters to get Lee some more minutes or we will perhaps finally see the much maligned baller from Louisville?

Rockets and Agents Relationship
47I realize it cites HoopsWorld and Bill Ingrahm but it also begins to answer the question and prove an accusation I've leveled before. Rather than people assuming "Morey is such a wizard he rips off GMs and they won't deal with him." we have whisperings of "They play cheap with contracts and don't care about their players." I've said it plenty of times on the site that this is the fundamental reason why no one wants to come here. If agents are steering players clear of an organization that is cheap and doesn't value their players, then we can kiss progress good bye. We overpaid Luis on the gamble that Yao would be healthy, now we're looking to rebuild and have a major contract on our hands for a guy in his 30's.
Grading the Trades (And the What Could Have Beens)
Alright, so I figured, since I'm accused from time to time of "contributing nothing but a game thread and trolling comments" that why not give back to the board I have so lovingly been bashing the...

Teams are Dealin'
Former Rocket David Anderson along with Jarrett Jack and Marcus Banks head to New Orleans for Peja Stojakovic and Jerryd Bayless. Teams are apparently taking expiring deals and I think the Hornets just got considerably better than their record already sets them up with... Fuck.
