Calkins: Rockets Can’t Bring Down Thunder to Save Postseason

by

HOUSTON — Mother Nature spent most of the Rockets do-or-die playoff Saturday drenching the Houston downtown area and beyond.  And when it came time for the out-of-town Thunder to come down one final time inside the sold-out Toyota Center after blowing every last bit of a 26-point lead, the city’s hoopdom community was left high and first-round dry once again.

23 3-pointers made. That pretty much sums up what the Houston Rockets did to the Golden State Warriors in the Toyota Center on Tuesday night, when they tied an all-time 3-pointers-made record – held by the 2008-2009 Orlando Magic team. The Rockets also tied a league record with 14 3-pointers made in the first half. Needless to say, things got rather frustrating for the Warriors. They came into the game leading the league in 3-point field goal percentage, but had a rare

SH Blog: Joakim Noah calls Thibodeau style “dictatorship”, Rubio return on the horizon

by

Last season, several key players were lost due to the dreadful tear of an ACL, clouding the future of each player that suffered the injury. The first major player that went down due to the devastating knee injury was Ricky Rubio of the Timberwolves during a game against the Lakers. Minnesota was well on pace to fight for a playoff spot, but everything unraveled once Rubio was lost – the team went 5-20 without the sensational point guard. This season, the Timberwolves
