    Jabari Smith Jr. is the Rockets' franchise player

    Depth at guard is less of an issue when you have other creators. Denver is just as strong a contender as any other team besides OKC in my opinion...

    Cam Whitmore traded to Wizards for 2 2nd round picks

    Washington is basically the 2021 Rockets so it really is the best situation for Cam. They're still tanking and developing their players and can...

    ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pelicans 10/14/2025 (Preseason)

    Jabari Smith Jr. is the Rockets' franchise player

    It's just the preseason, but including the seven playoff games this is a long stretch of Jabari playing his most confident basketball since...

    Trae Young Trades

    Tari is the heart and soul of this team

    Should the Rockets Start Reed Sheppard?
