beating the Texans received at the hands of the Colts. We saw beleaguered soccer moms parking their Suburbans at the mall with better timing and depth perception than some of Sage Rosenfels' passes on Sunday. Anyway, on to the links:

The Rockets have come back from a loss to Dallas with an impressive win against the defending champion San Antonio Spurs. The Rockets came out with a quick spurt put on by Shane Battier who came out of the gates with back-to-back three pointers. Other than that, the first quarter was uneventful with the exception of Chuck Hayes getting an elbow to the eye from Tim Duncan that required him to get stitches, forcing...

It has begun, the 2007-2008 season is here. Actually it didn't really start for the Rockets until the end of the first quarter last night against the Los Angeles Lakers. Houston started off very slow as if they didn’t realize the season had actually begun. Kobe Bryant took control of the first quarter while McGrady and company struggled to find their identity.

The Houston Rockets dismantled the Philadelphia 76ers Sunday night in a 124-74 shellacking at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia. Led by all-stars Tracy McGrady (21 points) and Yao Ming (24 points), the Rockets dominated in every facet of the game shooting 53.3% from the field compared to the 76ers 33.8%. Leading by 17 after the first quarter, the Rockets never looked back; relentlessly pounding the 76ers in the paint who had no answer for what the Rockets were dishing.

The Rockets faced a surging Celtics squad in Boston on Wednesday night and beat the crap out of them (technical sports term) 111-80. The Celts entered last night's action having won four of the last five games. Conversely (no, not the shoes), the Rockets had dropped four of the last five thanks in part to the absence of Yao. Yao Ming was relatively quiet in his second game back following the leg fracture finishing with...
