The Rockets don’t ask for a whole lot of skills from their bigmen. Just roll to the rim, and dunk it when you can. Try and play some defense while they’re at it. Jumpers? They don’t need all five people standing behind the arc. Go back next to the rim and wait for the ball….

Ben McLemore 18 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/8/2020)
Ben McLemore’s role on the Rockets is to stand outside the three-point line and wait to be passed the ball. Since the Rockets’ system is all about acquiring players who can do that exact thing (as their insufferable commentators remind us over and over and over…and over…until death seems like the preferred option to hearing…
Read MoreIsaiah Hartenstein 16 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2019)
Hartensteinsanity is happening right now, people. RIGHT NOW. It may not yet have the raw excitement that other similiarly-designated -sanities had, but just because the player in question isn’t hitting game-winners or posterizing people doesn’t mean that it’s not a -sanity. Hartenstein, in the last three games has put up 9 and 13, 19 and…
Read MoreChris Clemons 16 Points/9 Assists/1 Dunk Full Highlights (12/29/2019)
At one point during this game, Chris Clemons was listed as having 10 assists. The Rockets commentators even mentioned him having a double-double, so the stats they were looking at also had Clemons with 10. But now that I’m here making this vid, everywhere I look says he only had 9. They also gave Isaiah…
Read MoreDanuel House 22 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2019)
For people who were confused by the rotations that the Rockets were running tonight, I’ve made a handy comparison chart: Danuel House = James Harden Chris Clemons = Russell Westbrook Isaiah Hartenstein = Clint Capela Austin Rivers = Austin Rivers Personally, I watched this game pretending that the Rockets’ big three listed in that chart…
Read MoreIsaiah Hartenstein 19 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2019)
I honestly gave some thought to making a video for the nine points that Isaiah Hartenstein scored in the game before this one. I know I gave it some thought because I can look in my notebook labeled “DTB’s Notebook of Thoughts” and see a list of everything I think about during the course of…
Read MoreDanuel House 18 Points Full Highlights (12/25/2019)
One last Christmas gift from your old pal DTB, and I saved the worst for last: a thoroughly unexciting video of Danuel house scoring 18 points by hitting 5 threes and 3 free-throws. Surprisingly, the free-throws did not come on a foul while shooting a three, despite shooting threes being seemingly the only thing he…
Read MoreBen McLemore 17 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2019)
How the fudge did the Rockets win this game? They were down by so much, I think it was 26 at one point. And then I look at the boxscore and the final score is 109-107 in their favor? I have two monitors that I use for highlight-making, but I think I might need a…

CHRIS CLEMONS SHOT DISTRIBUTION WATCH UPDATE: 62 THREES, 15 TWOS THIS CONCLUDES THE CHRIS CLEMONS SHOT DISTRIBUTION WATCH UPDATE STAY TUNED FOR MORE UPDATES ON THE STATUS OF CHRIS CLEMONS’ SHOT DISTRIBUTION Clemons was a little bit more extreme than usual in his shot selection tonight; he attempted 11 threes, and only 1 two (which…
Read MoreBen McLemore 18 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/13/2019)
There are two options here: Option numero one: The Rockets’ medical staff doesn’t know that bandaids come in skin tones other than “really white but not as white as Mason Plumlee”. Option numero two: The Rockets’ medical staff is too cheap to buy bandaids that match the skin tones of their players. Bonus option numero…
