I am so sad to learn that Hall of Fame coach Bill Fitch has passed away. Fitch was the coach of the Rockets when I fell in love with the team and led Houston on a thrill ride to the Finals in 1986 when the city really became crazy about the “unbeatable” Rockets. RIP. pic.twitter.com/QcV5FJaKN5 – 1:11 AM

It would be sooooo Kings (or Kangz) to lose back to back home games to Houston and Detroit, lose 5 straight on the road and then win back to back games against Brooklyn and Golden State.
Kings and Warriors Thursday at Chase. – 12:50 AM

Ugly game (for lots of reasons). Ugly loss for #Cavs in Houston tonight.
“At one point I asked if (the refs) were trying to set a record (for fouls). I hope that doesn’t get me in trouble, but it was a lot.”

This Jalen Green possession impressed me the most tonight.
Cleveland played ‘weak’, which is a pick-and-roll defense that forces a ball-handler to drive with their weaker hand. Watch his patience. Switches hands, attack paint, draws contact, shields ball from weak-side defender. pic.twitter.com/OWGWpOwCBj – 10:46 PM

For all the talk about if Alperen Sengun and Christian Wood can play well together, ?s concern the defensive fit.
Pay attention to this #Rockets defensive possession, especially to Sengun. He switched split cuts action, stayed in front on an Iso, and kept his feet on the ground. pic.twitter.com/y78RBxpgSa – 9:22 PM

📅 On this day in 1982, the @Houston Rockets Moses Malone scored a career-high 53 points and grabbed 22 rebounds in a win over the Clippers.
He’s one of four players since the ABA-NBA merger to record at least 50p/20r in a game (Shaquille O’Neal, Chris Webber, and Anthony Davis). pic.twitter.com/szwZ4QkoBn – 3:01 PM
