Rockets rookie logs career highs in points, rebounds in Detroit -- The bad news is the Rockets took one step closer to the lottery this season.

The 6-foot-10 forward made the minutes count. Logging career highs in minutes (23), points (12) and rebounds (8), Hill showed some ...

BimaThug takes a hard look at the post-trade bottom line of the Houston Rockets -- Well, a lot has changed for the Houston Rockets in the past week. They added the shooting guard they so desperately needed in Kevin Martin. They also obtained some potentially bountiful assets in the form of a recent lottery pick (2009 #8 overall pick Jordan Hill), the right to swap 2011 first round picks with the Knicks, and the Knicks' first round pick in 2012. (For those of you still wondering about the protection on those picks, there is a great explanation by Clutch in

Dorsey shocks in return to Memphis

Clutch — {ts '2010-02-05 23:04:00'}

Did Joey Dorsey just break out for Rockets or was Memphis a one-game wonder? -- "Ray Lewis with a basketball." That's what Joey Dorsey, shortly after being picked by the Rockets with the 33rd pick in the 2008 draft, called himself. Unfortunately, in his first two seasons in Houston, the 6-foot-8 forward/center has looked more like Jerry Lewis with a basketball. In his rookie season, his work ethic was a huge problem. He did not take it very well that he was sent to the D-League. He saw absolute...

Despite pulling out victory, Rockets nearly robbed by some bizarre calls late -- If you've ever wondered if the NBA officiates games "differently" in the final minute, look no further than the Rockets-Mavericks game Thursday night for your evidence. The Rockets won this game, so this is not a disgruntled fan of the losing team dishing out sour grapes. This was an embarrassment for the NBA as the league's three-man crew of Bob Delaney, Jason Phillips and Mark Lindsay were about as clueless late as Stromile Swift at a basketball fundamentals summer ...

After debacle in Toronto, Rockets star is going to have to win back Houston fans -- Tracy McGrady had diehard Rockets fans at "hello" when the team acquired him from the Orlando Magic in 2004, and by the summer of 2005 he could have run for public office in the city and won by a landslide.
