In 2025, my choice is whichever injured player that led to the dismissal of Jeremiah Randall

I approve of this framing, that NBA Cup quarterfinal was definitely the most relevant Rockets-Warriors game of last season

Alperen Sengun (22.4 PPG, 9.7 RPG, 7.1 APG) and the Rockets (1-2 in Group Play) roll into the Bay to face Steph Curry (28.8 PPG, 4.9 3PM) and the Warriors (1-2) in a rematch of last year’s electric NBA Cup Quarterfinals!

One of the weird things about the current CFP format is that the teams seeded from 5-8 are the only ones that get to HOST a playoff game on their campus.

So, in other words, College Station gets maybe its biggest game ever... if A&M *loses* on Friday.

Of course, winning is the preference. But...

Entering the final week of NBA Cup group play, here's where the #Rockets are.

Lofty point differentials for OKC/MIN mean that HOU is likely eliminated, regardless of how tomorrow goes.

It's trending to GSW being the add-on home opponent for week of Dec. 9. LAC or MIN is the likely road addition.
2025 NBA Cup math, schedule update: Rockets unlikely to advance
Entering Thanksgiving week, all 30 teams have at least one of their four group-stage games remaining in Emirates NBA Cup 2025 action. Some have two. But for the Houston Rockets (10-4 on the 2025-26 re...

Worth noting, #Rockets are 11-4 (.733) while having faced the NBA’s No. 5 strength of schedule, per ESPN.

Remaining 67 games? Per Tankathon, #Rockets are dead last (No. 30), with the easiest remaining schedule in the whole league.

This was a really nice win. On the road against a solid team, without KD. 11 wins in 13 games

"Scoreboard" would be my guess

The Jabari/Dillon play is literally the exact same play, on the other end, as what happened with Richards/Amen.

There is absolutely zero rationalization to call this a flagrant.

Josh Okogie pulled the Corey Brewer "ran out of talent" move

Nick Richards elbowed Amen directly in the chin, then posed over him, gestured, and demonstratively yelled at him to get up.

Not a flagrant or a technical, defensive foul.

Remember that the next time an announcer inevitably tells you that something is "always" a technical

The fluidity of Jabari to take that 94 feet and finish. Wow

The #Rockets have a 69-55 lead

Touch seems much better tonight
Amen finished at the hoop and it wasn’t a dunk. A real rarity this season

Shots aren’t going in, but Reed is still competing his ass off defensively
November 25, 2025 at 3:33 AM
No doubt whatsoever that’s a flagrant the last two years
Dillon would’ve been ejected by now if he had those words with a ref while wearing a red jersey

Don’t ever underestimate the heart of a Josh Okogie revenge game

30-year sports radio guy, 100,000 followers has this reaction to KD missing multiple games due to a family situation.

No wonder media is in the toilet.
