You may or may not have heard about the little incident involving Minnesota Timberwolves big man Kevin Love. On Saturday, Love took umbrage with Luis Scola of the Houston Rockets being on the floor. So, he decided to stomp on him as they ran back up the floor and the NBA certainly took notice. Love [...]
Houston Rockets center Yao Ming is 7′ 6″ tall and has been dealing with the foot problems that go with that. That’s 310 lbs. on your feet constantly. It actually makes Shaquille O’Neal’s career that much more impressive. These are big dudes whose feet and knees can only take so much. And so Yao has [...]
Houston Rockets fans that were hoping to get Yao Ming back in some sort of reasonable time frame, might want to adjust their expectations. Yao has been out for what seems like forever (it’s actually been since last December) with a stress fracture in his left ankle. It’s not his fault. He’s a 7′ 5″ [...]
Yao Ming shocked everyone on Wednesday night when he limped off the court in a loss to the Washington Wizards. One might even guess that it’s in his contract that he has to get hurt with an alarming degree of regularity just to get paid. Well, here is the good news. Houston Rockets GM Daryl [...]
Boy, this went south quickly, huh? After a Sunday meeting with owner-in-waiting Josh Kroenke in which Carmelo Anthony seemed insistent that he be traded, several sources tell Adrian Wojnarowski (we wish he’s stop breaking stories. It is a pain in the ace to spell his name) of Yahoo! Sports that it’s not if, but when. [...]
League sources tell Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski that Josh Kroenke (Stan’s son) sat down with Carmelo Anthony over the weekend in Baltimore in an attempt to try to sell the superstar on staying in Denver and signing a contract extension. According to the sources, no resolutions were reached. Not shocking. Wojnarowski is also told that [...]
A source tells Adrian Wojnarowski (we hate when he breaks stories. Have to triple check the spelling of his name every time) that the Detroit Pistons have agreed to a one-year deal with veteran swingman Tracy McGrady. “Tracy McGrady has reach agreement on a one year, $1.3 million contract with the Pistons, league sources tell [...]
Yao Ming is a big dude who is quite a presence in the middle. He’s not just huge, he actually has some finesse and basketball talent. The problem is, homeboy is always hurt. When you are 7′ 5″, you are a big cat. And despite most of your body being in proportion, you are still [...]

Last night, the Miami Heat thoroughly shut down the Houston Rockets’ Aaron Brooks, holding him to 3-for-16 shooting and four turnovers in a 99-66 butt whooping. “We knew who was the head of the snake on their team,” said Miami Heat stud Dwayne Wade. “We knew we had to be there when Aaron Brooks turned [...]
According to the Houston Chronicle, the Houston Rockets and Tracy McGrady have come to a “mutual agreement” to trade the guard/forward/non-difference maker. A person with knowledge of the situation said that with head coach Rick Adelman not knowing exactly when he could give McGrady significant minutes, both sides agree that it’s best if he’s moved. [...]
It wasn’t a lot, but Houston Rockets guard Tracy McGrady returned to the floor Tuesday night for the first time since February and helped his team beat the Pistons 107-96. McGrady had surgery on his left knee and hasn’t played since February and was able to come in for eight minutes during the game. “We [...]
Houston Rockets basketball player Tracy McGrady will continue to rehab his microfracture-repaired knee until he can have another MRI in late November. This means he will not be practicing during training camp as many had thought. We’d be shocked if he plays before December. This shouldn’t affect where you take him in your NBA fantasy [...]
Sources tell ESPN that Trevor Ariza has given the Houston Rockets a verbal commitment on a free-agent contract. The 6′ 8″ Ariza averaged 8.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists last year for the Lakers. He’ll probably step in and replace Yao Ming immediately if he is able to get injured enough.
