Back to .500, push for the Playoffs!
Posted on 6 Mar 2011 by Munaf Manji.
Well lets just start with a recap of our last blog and the two points I made the Rockets needed to do: 1. More effort of the defensive end–Check 2. Get back to .500 record–Check The Rockets are 6-1 since the All-Star break with quality wins over New Orleans and Portland, two teams which are infront of the Rockets in the standings. The area which was more impressive about these two...

Three straight…with two trades
Posted on 27 Feb 2011 by Munaf Manji.
Let's just start with what I said in the last blog about how important these last 3 wins were for the Rockets. They took care of business against the Pistons, Cavs, and Nets. These were games that the Rockets knew they should have won against sub par teams and they took care of business rather easily. A lot fans and writers are writing off this season and are under the presumption that the Rock...

Midway point of the season
Posted on 21 Feb 2011 by Munaf Manji.
Well, its been a while since I've wrote a blog so let's get right to it! So, we are at the half way point of the season and the Rockets stand at 26-31, 5 games below .500. I personally think the Rockets should be atleast at .500 or 2 games over. The last two games at Toyota Center the Rockets should have won, which would have put the Rockets at 28-29 with games against the Pistons, Cavs, and Ne...

Rockets bring it against the Champs
Posted on 2 Dec 2010 by Munaf Manji.
In possibly the biggest win of the season thus far for the Rockets, this may be the start of a turning point for the season. Maybe? Toyota Center was rocking last night with the Lake show in town and the fans turned out for this game and a great win it was for the Rockets. The Rockets played the full 48 minutes of basketball which in previous games they have failed to do, and had an unknown h...

Assessing the first 11 games for the Rockets
Posted on 18 Nov 2010 by Munaf Manji.
We are now 11 games into the season and the Rockets are 3-8. Not the start most of us were expecting from the team but to start the season the integration of Yao back into the lineup and Rockets figuring out their identity of who exactly they are and what they can be can be causes of the slow start. So after the first 11 games, the Rockets have played 7 of those on the road, 3 back to back game...

Rockets coming together on the East Coast trip
Posted on 15 Nov 2010 by Munaf Manji.
East Coast trip ends with the Rockets winning 2 out 3. Riding their first win streak of the season, Rockets are starting to click on all cylinders and building some team chemistry. The big turn around point for the Rockets, I believe, was the overtime loss they suffered to the Spurs. Since then the Rockets have won 3 out 4, and have allowed only 95 points per game to their opponents. In all...

We may have won the first battle….but are losing the WAR
Posted on 11 Nov 2010 by Munaf Manji.
After a heart felt effort Saturday night against the Spurs, to only lose in OT was a heartbreaker for many fans and of the course the players. Rockets showed a lot of character coming back from double digits, and almost pulling out a victory in regulation. With Yao not playing against the Spurs because of a game the following night, Jordan Hill was called upon to fill the shoes of the big man...

The 3-0 and Hornets came into Toyota Center last night looking for their 4th straight win and second straight win over a division opponent, as the Rockets looked for their first win on the season.

Early Season Woes
Posted on 3 Nov 2010 by Munaf Manji.
Season Greetings, as the 2010-2011 NBA season is upon us! The Houston Rockets are not off to the best of starts but there's both positives and negatives after the first 3 games of the regular season. The Rockets are off to a 0-3 start to the 2010-2011 NBA season, much due to the lack of defense played early on. Giving up 112 points to the defending World Championships the LA Lakers, the follo...
