Love ‘Em or Leave ‘Em Alone Week 21
Posted on 13 Mar 2011 by Warren Shaw.
Greetings everybody! This is the homestretch of the fantasy basketball season. Many of you might be entering your playoffs this week but for most it is still about final seeding. I apologize for being M.I.A. as I took some much needed vacation time, but who cares about that. Let’s go with Week 21 of Love ‘Em or Leave ‘Em alone. Carlos Boozer: The Chicago Bulls bigs can’t seem to stay he...

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...

Suns Land Brooks
Posted on 24 Feb 2011 by Brad Botkin.
The way I figure it, the Suns need to win somewhere between 18 and 20 of their final 28 games to have a realistic shot at making the playoffs. It's a tough assignment, but in the suddenly depleted Western Conference, it's at least feasible. In my opinion, even more so after the trade the Suns pulled off on Thursday. In exchange for backup point guard Goran Dragic, who is stable but nothing spec...

Home court winning streak is over.
Posted on 15 Jan 2011 by John Morgo.
I'm watching the Hawks finish their game with Houston. The Rockets held a one-point edge entering the final quarter, but then Houston's defense took control, and the Hawks home-court winning streak is history. And let me tell you, something, I should be joining the rest of Atlanta watching the Falcons entertain the Pack in the NFC Semifinal. Hold on, the F has been posted, giving the Rockets a ...

Back to Basics
Posted on 11 Jan 2011 by Michael Johnson.
Just a few short years ago the Celtics traveled to Houston in one of the most anticipated regular season match-ups in recent memory. After 48 minutes of play, Boston came out on top 90-69, snapping the Rockets improbable 21 game winning streak. A few days later they defeated the Dallas Mavericks, also on the road, to complete the sweep of the Texas triangle. That was the moment I was offici...

Head(ing) Down
Posted on 11 Jan 2011 by Warren Shaw.
One would think that after Saturday's lackluster effort in Chicago where the Celtics were handled 90-79 by the Bulls, that the Celtics would be ready to pummel the Rockets on Monday night. One would think… The Rockets entered the game without the services of leading scorer Kevin Martin, big man Brad Miller, and a hobbling Aaron Brooks. Not to mention they were losers of 5 straight games. ...

Love ‘Em or Leave ‘Em Alone Week 8
Posted on 13 Dec 2010 by Warren Shaw.
Hope all is well in your fantasy leagues my friends. Let’s get busy with Week 8 of Love ‘Em or Leave ‘Em alone. Brandon Bass: Bass is the starting power forward in Orlando at least for now. Coach Van Gundy claims he is going to continue to change his lineup based on matchups but I still believe Bass is worth grabbing. He has been incredibly efficient all season and if he does hold on to...

Love ‘Em or Leave ‘Em Alone week 7
Posted on 5 Dec 2010 by Warren Shaw.
Injury and coaching inaptitude highlight this week’s edition of Love ‘Em or Leave ‘Em alone. Let’s get to work! Jerryd Bayless: Jose Calderon owners beware! Bayless has played well in 2 of his last 3 games highlighted by a 23pt, 7reb, 6ast and 5 made threes effort against the Knicks on Sunday. Bayless is not a pure point guard but is instant offense which Toronto seems to lack. It is g...

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...

Defensive and 4th quarter struggles continue…
Posted on 4 Nov 2010 by Munaf Manji.
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. With a couple days off and some great practices Rockets looked poised to come away with their first victory. Last season Hornets took 3 out 4 from the Rockets with David West averaging 40 points in tw...

Rockets impressive in loss to Lakers
Posted on 27 Oct 2010 by Adam Spolane.
There was a lot to like in the Rockets opening night loss in LA on Tuesday night. I don’t think its going out on a limb to say the Rockets were better. They shot it better (barely), out-rebounded the Lakers, and even had more blocked shots. The problem was that they turned the ball over 20 times, and that allowed the Lakers to get out in transition which allowed them to take a double digit de...

Utah Dominated by Scrappy Rockets 113-96
Posted on 8 Apr 2010 by Danny Shapiro.
What the heck!!! Ok I'm going to need my heart medicine for the rest of the season because the Jazz are going to give me a heart attack! I can't take all this up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down. Before the Houston game last night Utah was entrenched in the number two hole in the west, focused on capturing homecourt throughout the playoffs, well at least til the confe...
