Susan Reeves+FollowHouston Rockets’ bench could change everythingJD Davison’s numbers are turning heads—he’s putting up 19.2 points and 7.7 assists per 100 possessions with zero turnovers and an eye-popping 77.4% true shooting. Yet, he’s barely seen real minutes, mostly playing in garbage time while Aaron Holiday gets the backup guard role. With the Rockets aiming for a championship, it’s a tough call, but Davison is just 23 and could be a long-term piece. Isn’t it time to see what he can do against real competition? Should Ime Udoka give him a shot and shake up the rotation? What would you do if you were coaching? #Sports #Basketball #HoustonRockets00Share
Theresa Boyd+FollowHeat’s Pelle Larsson shines after Rockets tradeHouston fans, this one stings: Pelle Larsson, the 44th pick the Rockets traded away for AJ Griffin, is now thriving with the Miami Heat. Larsson’s averaging over 10 points and playing real minutes, plus his defense is exactly what Houston could use. Meanwhile, Griffin never played a game for the Rockets. It’s wild how a move that seemed logical at the time can look so different in hindsight. Do you think the Rockets should regret this deal, or was it just bad luck? Let’s hear your takes on how much these draft gambles really matter! #Sports #Basketball #HoustonRockets00Share
Pamela Owens+FollowHow Good Was Houston Westbrook?With Westbrook officially signing with the Kings after years of ups and downs, it’s worth remembering just how dominant he was in Houston’s small-ball era. At one point, he averaged 33.2 PPG, 7.9 RPG, 7.8 APG on 53.6% FG over 17 games — blowing past defenses with relentless drives and athleticism. Houston went 10–2 in that stretch, and Russ looked unstoppable. He’s had rough stretches since then, but this version of Westbrook was special. #NBA #Westbrook #HoustonRockets #NBAHistory #Kings #NBATalk #MVP #Sports 181Share
Beth Holland+FollowThe 1995 Rockets Title Run Was Absolutely InsanePeople talk about “best rings ever”… but the ’95 Houston Rockets might have the most absurd championship run in NBA history: Faced the 4 best records in the league: 62-win Spurs, 60-win Jazz, 59-win Suns, 57-win Magic (avg opponent = 60 wins!). No home court in any round as the 6th seed — won a record 9 road games. Came back from 3-1 vs Phoenix, winning 2 elimination games on the road, including OT in Game 5 and a Game 7. Beat the #1 seed Spurs by taking Games 1 & 2 in San Antonio — then won every game in Texas. Swept the Finals vs Orlando, who had just taken out Jordan’s Bulls. Hakeem & the Rockets pulled perhaps the most legendary team runs of all time. #NBAHistory #HoustonRockets #HakeemOlajuwon #NBAChampion #Sports 18134Share
James Allen+FollowLegendary Duo: Olajuwon & Drexler on the RocketsYou can’t talk about great NBA partnerships without mentioning Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler on the Houston Rockets. After Drexler joined Hakeem in Houston, they clicked instantly and led the Rockets to the 1995 NBA title—sweeping Shaq and Penny’s Magic in the Finals. Where do you rank Olajuwon & Drexler among the all-time great duos? #NBAPartners #Olajuwon #Drexler #HoustonRockets #Sports 2359Share
