Rick Adelman spoke before Saturday's game against the New Jersey Nets about the newest Rockets, Hasheem Thabeet and Goran Dragic. On Thabeet, he was brief.
"He hasn't been playing for [Memphis] so I don't know what I'm supposed to do with him," said Adelman.
Ouch.

Carmelo Anthony speaks on Rockets
After Houston's 121-102 rout of the Denver Nuggets Monday night, there was an interesting scene in the Nuggets locker room. Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony had us (the Houston media) wait by his locker for 20-30 minutes as he went to the trainers room, then word got to the locker room that Carmelo was out in the hall and saying goodbye.
When we went out there, Carmelo and Rockets...

Stoudemire says Rockets "really, really wanted" him
You could go all the way back to the 2002 NBA Draft to when the Houston Rockets first had interest in Amar'e Stoudemire, but things really picked up in the summer of 2009 when there was buzz that the Rockets and Suns had talked about a deal for Stoudemire.
A year ago, at last season's trade deadline, the Rockets and Suns neared on an 11th hour deal that would have brought...

D'Antoni on Hayes vs. Stoudemire: "Amar'e only scored 25 that game"
Chuck Hayes played some mean defense on Amar'e Stoudemire the last time the Houston Rockets and New York Knicks squared off, but when I asked Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni about the Rockets forward's success, he was quick to downplay it.
"I think Amar'e only had 25 that game," quipped D'Antoni. "Yeah you're right."

Rockets can not trade their 2011 draft pick
There have been several columns and reports, most recently one by ESPN Insider, that mention the Rockets potentially including their 2011 first round draft choice in a trade.
Only one problem -- they can't.
ClutchFans confirmed on Friday that, due to the Ted Stepien rule that restricts teams from trading away future first rounders in consecutive years, ...

The 2010-11 season is over for Yao Ming.
That was confirmed on Friday as team physician Dr. Walter Lowe and general manager Daryl Morey met with the media.
"I think this is a season-ending injury," said Dr. Lowe. "Is this something where I would say 'Hey, you got no chance of playing again'? No, absolutely not."
Dr. Lowe said the injury is on the inside...

Tracy McGrady's Houston Return: Before, During and After
Before
Tracy McGrady was relaxed.
On the other hand, I was nervous. The visiting team's locker room was unexplored territory for me. After a while, you get more comfortable talking to the Rockets players. Entering the Pistons locker room and seeing Rip Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince, Ben Wallace... it takes you back to the beginning.

In quest for size, Adelman turning to Courtney Lee as backup point
Rick Adelman is making a rotation change... at least for now.
The Rockets coach said on Monday after practice that he's going to get Jermaine Taylor some minutes and turn to Courtney Lee as the backup point, meaning Ish Smith will head to the bench.
"I just want to see how it works," said Adelman. "It's nothing against Ish, I just want to try for a little...

Bombs Away! Rockets nail 16 threes to cage Grizzlies
One of the many reasons the Rockets started the season as loss collectors was they couldn't hit their three-point shots.
That wasn't the case Friday night in Memphis.
The Rockets went ballistic from deep against the Grizzlies, hitting an impressive 16-23 from long range as Houston lit up Memphis 127-111, improving to 7-12 on the season. The Rockets have no won three of...

Out of Body: Battier dominates Kobe, Lakers in final minutes
The first half was playing out like every other Rocket game we've seen this season. They keep their head above water in the first and watch helplessly as their opponent starts to pull away in the second.
But something changed Wednesday night, and when it got down to the final minutes, the most unlikely of candidates took over the contest.
Shane Battier scored 11 points over...
