Rockets Fans Don’t Want a Diva, We Want Scola

Posted: 2nd July 2010 by Jacob Cordova in NBA
After all of the hype, 2010 free agency is finally among us. Teams unloaded rosters and put all of their eggs in the free agency basket. These next few days could make or break franchises for the next decade. Chris Bosh is among the cream of the crop of this free agency class. He is nowhere near the caliber of player his counterparts LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are, but somehow, he could end ...

2010 NBA Mock Draft: Wall to Minnesota, Trades, And More

Posted: 6th May 2010 by Jacob Cordova in NBA
Trying to predict the unpredictable is like racing your friend up a seventeen-story building taking the stairs, while your friend takes the elevator. You probably are not going to win, but if by some chance your friend gets stuck on the elevator with the kid who pushed every floor on the way up and you actually win, it is the highlight of your day. Maybe that is the reason that ...
The 2010 NBA free agency is huge for the Houston Rockets. Not because they will be trying to steal Chris Bosh or Amare Stoudemire away from the market (via a sign and trade), but because they will be trying to retain their fan-favorite—Luis Scola. The Rockets remember the deadline-day trade this past season that sent their most beloved player to Sacramento in exchange for a brighter future. The Rockets sent fan-favorite Carl Landry ...

They finally finished their first winning season and seem to have a different attitude in the locker room. The 2010 NFL draft is going to be huge for the Texans. They have some big needs to ...

Tracy McGrady or Grant Hill: Who is More Hall of Fame Worthy?

Posted: 10th April 2010 by Jacob Cordova in NBA
Now before you start yelling at your computer and leaving ridiculous comments because I’m mentioning these players in the same sentence as Jordan, please do a little research on the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. You might want to start with a little research on players like Bill Bradley, K.C. Jones, Bob Houbregs, and Tom Gola. It might also help to look up players like Artis Gilmore, Jo Jo White, ...

Houston Rockets in the Playoffs? Crazier Things Have Happened

Posted: 24th March 2010 by Jacob Cordova in NBA
The Rockets probably have as good of a chance of getting a top five pick in the upcoming 2010 NBA draft as they do of making the playoffs. If you were holding on to hopes that the Rockets would make the playoffs in February, then you are probably down to your last breath come late March. I don’t think the Rockets have enough to make the playoffs this year, but ...

NBA Playoffs: The Battle of the Southwest

Posted: 1st March 2010 by Jacob Cordova in NBA
It is the home-stretch and the Houston Rockets have 24 games remaining. There are arguably five teams that will be battling for the eighth seed in the Western Conference. Of those five teams, four of them happen to be in the same divisionùthe Southwest Division. That is why I believe the eighth and final spot in the tight Western Conference will likely be handed to the runner-up in the Southwest ...
