http://www.clutchfans.net Jeremy Lin makes a costly mistake late in regulation of Game 3 of the Houston Rockets game against the Portland Trail Blazers on 4/25/2013. Needing to milk clock, Lin instead thought he could get past the defense, but missed an open layup. Nic Batum then tied the game with a three on the other end. Lin would get his redemption in overtime, rescuing a loose ball and finding...

Troy Daniels always had his mind on the playoffs. The Houston Rockets shocked Daniels by recalling him from the D-League on April 9. After all, his Rio Grand Valley were in the middle of a playoff series. At least the Vipers had three days off between games, so Daniels tried to make the best of the situation and focused on Rio Grande’s next postseason game the following Saturday. “It was a big surprise....

Troy Daniels was an unknown product out of VCU who had spent time between the D-League and the end of the Houston Rockets bench until last night. Daniels had  appeared in just five regular season games before last night, but was pressed into playoff duty when Chandler Parsons fouled out.  His three-pointer with 11.9 seconds remaining in overtime gave the Rockets a lead for good and save their season,...

On the Rockets for one reason, to do one thing, Troy Daniels did it. The guy that spent almost no time with Rockets all season, saved it. Daniels, who was an undrafted rookie who had spent most of the past six months setting 3-point shooting records with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, nailed a 3-pointer with 11 seconds left in overtime, stunning the Blazers, 121-116, on Friday as the Rockets cut the...

Over the first two games of the Portland Trail Blazers/Houston Rockets series, Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge has put together back-to-back forty point performances. Yesterday, Houston Rockets big man Dwight Howard was asked by a reporter during a Rockets practice about trying to stop LMA. Dwight’s response was pretty interesting to say the least: Your browser does not support iframes....

Tomatoes, warm carrots, cranberry juice; all things I’d prefer never to have in my mouth again.  Why?  Simply put, taste and texture.  Joe Montana, Shaq, any San Francisco Giant, and the over-sized 12-year-old kid who dismantled our offensive line en route to pancaking me in the backfield of a Pop Warner football game more than 25 years ago; all people I’ve disdain for.  Why, again?  They either did...

Dwight Howard went off for 19 points in the first quarter of  Rockets vs. Trailblazers, with most of those points coming from dunks – 12 to be exact. DH seemed fired up after Shaq – once again- went off on him, and it seemed to work. But ultimately, the Blazers had a total team effort with LaMarcus Aldridge having his second back-to-back playoff game scoring 40 points. LMA went off for 43 points. Point...

Following the Houston Rockets 112-105 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, James Harden and an NBA.com reporter had an awkward exchange. Harden, who has struggled offensively this series, was asked by Fran Blinebury about his play on that end of the court.  As The Big Lead points out, Blinebury seemed to irk Harden with his questions starting at the :43 to 1:15 in the video above. Via the Oregonian,...

James Harden is one of the most dynamic shooting guards in the NBA during the regular season.  The playoffs are a different story all together. Harden is shooting just 14-for-47 from the field in the Rockets first two playoff games, both losses.  Harden for his part said his offense wasn’t the issue, but the team’s defense is.  That doesn’t help Harden’s case at all, because he’s one of the worst defenders...

Nobody saw this coming. The Houston Rockets were 33-8 at home during the regular season but find themselves in an 0-2 hole in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. James Harden's struggles is one of biggest reasons why they've failed to protect their home court against the Portland Trail Blazers. After a 112-105 Game 2 loss on Wednesday, Harden was in no mood to talk about it with reporters. When asked...

James Harden hasn’t been playing his best basketball two games into the Houston Rockets Portland Trailblazers first round series. Following their loss on Wednesday night, Harden was asked what he could do to get his offense going. His response was that he wasn’t focused on his offense, he was more concerned with team defense. P.S. James is shooting 29% over the last two games. Harden’s frustration...
