It's tough to win games when Steph Curry goes off like that, especially when you shoot 20% from outside and turn the ball over 18 times. It's even more difficult to win when you've got your two dominant ball handlers - Fred VanVleet & Jalen Green - making just 7 of 34 shots. And yet...despite the Rockets loss, I'm still optimistic about this series.
The Texans fired offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik and OL coach Chris Strausser after the offense didn't live up to expectations during a disappointing '24-'25 season. Say things don't go according to plan next season...who's next on the chopping block? Plus, why I'm coming around on the Astros plan for '25, why a dying sport NEEDS someone to come up with a plan, and more!
$300 M man Rafael Devers is refusing to move from third base for former Astro Alex Bregman...and has teammates supporting his stubbornness?? What a terrible first impression. Plus, reaction to Astros spring training news, and why you shouldn't be concerned about...SMOKE AND FIRE in the coming days at a HOUSTON AIRPORT?!?
Alex Bregman was introduced as a member of the Boston Red Sox over the weekend and posted a goodbye message to Houston...and I might be reading too much into both. Plus, in a world of entitled athletes, Jose Altuve remains the best. But these guys...yeesh. And to wrap things up, some good old fashioned nationalism and sports!
The Rockets have already exceeded expectations this season. But we've been hearing Ime Udoka say the same things OFTEN over this stretch of 7 loss in 9 games. At what point will you be concerned that his message isn't hitting home? Plus, some updates from Astros spring training from Joe Espada. The Eagles Super Bowl victory has taken me down another Kayla Nicole rabbit hole. 🙄 And can the haters admit when a man is trying?
Texans offensive coordinator Nick Caley had his introductory press conference today. I react to what he had to say there, plus what the Astros said about Alex Bregman signing with the Red Sox. And Kevin Durant - who the Rockets beat last night - sure has a lot of Houston connections...
The long time Houston Astro signed with the Boston Red Sox for a 3 year deal worth $120 M with opt outs after every season. He chose that over 6 years & $156 M with the Astros, and 6 years for over $170 M with the Detroit Tigers.
We've seen a lot of "updates" about Alex Bregman's future over the past couple of days. But they all seem to contradict each other. What gives? Plus, the Houston Texans might lose another coach, while an ex-coach got a new job. Elsewhere around the league, Dak Prescott is lying to himself while Cam Newton is pissing everyone off. A sports owner is gaslighting us. And I HATE the way political aggregators operate online.
Poor Ryan Hollins. The man's just out there calling a game - which he's been doing a great job of this year with Craig Ackerman! - and said something that led to him feeling the need to apologize. He didn't! But let's use this as an opportunity to talk about the word "dick". Plus, the Mavericks should serve as a VALUABLE sports lesson for all the die hard sports fans out there. And we've clearly taken THIS now disaster prone method of transportation for granted...
