P.J. Tucker scored 20 points in his debut with the Rockets, way back in the arcane era of time known as “October”. My video commemorating the performance has since been deleted, but my claim made in the description that even Ivan Chiriaev could score 10 points per game in Mike D’Antoni’s offensive system remains true….

Clint Capela 21 Points/7 Dunks Full Highlights (5/2/2018)
I can’t remember if I’ve ever expressed an opinion on Clint Capela’s post game or his attempts to develop one. So I apologize in advance if the opinion I express here runs counter to opinions I have expressed in the past. Clint Capela should just not try any more post moves in the playoffs. Those…

“What’s up loser. It’s Clint,” Clint Capela said into his phone, smirking at the frustrated sigh of his rival, Dwight Howard. “How’s your summer going?” “It was going okay until you called. I’m gonna hang up now,” Dwight responded. “Don’t you want to hear about all the things James has to say about you?” Clint…
Read MoreGerald Green 21 Points Full Highlights (4/18/2018)
The Rockets had four different players attempt at least ten three-pointers in this game. That’s the sort of obscure stat that I don’t know how to check for, other than scraping basketball-reference for every box-score in their database and giving it to my kitty Japurri Purrker for purrther analysis, but it’s gotta be a record,…
Read MoreClint Capela 24 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (4/15/2018)
Clint Capela: is he the Rockets’ SECRET WEAPON for the playoffs? Reasons Capela might be the SECRET WEAPON: -He was keeping his Eurostep ability hidden from public view until the playoffs -He is secretly the Rockets’ third-best player -Can KAT stop him? Probably not. -D’Antoni purposely didn’t play him in the final regular season game…
Read MoreGerald Green 31 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
It’s a minor tragedy that we didn’t get to see Gerald Green keep this up for the whole game. I’m not even talking about his makes, I just wanted to see him get the record for attempts from three. He took 17 triples in the 26 minutes he played tonight, and didn’t get to play…
Read MoreR.J. Hunter Career High 19 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
R.J. Hunter is a real-life representation of the age-old question “what good is a pure shooter who can’t really shoot?”. The answer, as represented by Hunter throughout his three-year NBA career, is “not much good at all”. Even for most of his career in the D-League/G-League, he was a bad shooter. That’s, uh, not good….
Read MoreP.J. Tucker 16 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2018)
I was operating under the assumption that P.J. Tucker had upped his scoring output recently, given that he just scored sixteen points last night, and I have a memory of making an eighteen-point highlight video for him within the past week or so. For Tucker, point totals in the double digits are a rare occasion…
Read MoreClint Capela 21 Points Full Highlights (4/3/2018)
The Rockets are going to win the championship, aren’t they? I’m sitting here munching on a Pop-Tart, and I’m watching Capela-Harden/Paul pick-and-rolls, and my hope for a non-Houston chip gets lower and lower. Clint Capela doesn’t get talked about enough as the third part of their “big three”. That’s because he’s super limited in what…
Read MoreP.J. Tucker 18 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/30/2018)
P.J. Tucker opened the season with a twenty-point outburst that doubtless had Rockets fans salivating at his scoring potential. Please humor me while I set up a strawman of a clueless Rockets fanbase and then tear it down to make myself feel better. These stupid Rockets fans saw Tucker score twenty and they probably were…
