Gallant Says

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!

A Houston Chronicle article suggested that the Houston Texans are exploring the possibility of a new stadium. My biggest Q: Why??

$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...

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 aggre...

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 t...

A Houston QB just won the Super Bowl in a game that ALL of H-Town should have loved. Plus, thoughts on Kendrick Lamar's halftime show, a hilarious punking, and...damnit do I really have to talk about Travis Kelce's ex Kayla Nicole again?!? 💀🔫

History is cool and all. I just like it when my favorite player ever - Tom Brady - is the only one who ever makes it. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs...they scare me. They're on the verge of a three peat. 😅 I've got some thoughts on their matchup with the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, plus the LATEST setback during the Rockets 5 game losing streak, and an Alex Bregman "update". Finally, ANOTHER rant a...

The Rockets didn't go after Kevin Durant or Devin Booker at the NBA's trade deadline. They traded for Jaden Springer yesterday, then waived him today before acquiring Cody Zeller [and draft picks]. I get why they'd stand pat. But is it possible that they made a mistake standing pat in a wide open Western Conference? Plus, some thoughts on Kansas City Chiefs derangement syndrome AND a hot button is...

It was easy to say "nah" a week ago. But have 4 straight Rockets losses made you reconsider?? We'll also take a look back at what's been said after the last 2 Ls AND an all time bad take from an NBA player.

General Manager Dana Brown dropped some not too subtle hints at the Astros media luncheon today about Alex Bregman's future. Was it intentional? I react to that, and everything else we learned about the 'Stros today. Plus, should the Texans go "All In" (again) to trade for Cooper Kupp this offseason? And, I give the people what I've recently discovered they want: more Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift t...

The Houston Texans have hired Rams passing game coordinator and TE coach Nick Caley as their new offensive coordinator. Was he the right choice? And how likely is he to get the Texans offense moving in the right direction again? Plus, what was the WORST part of the Luka Doncic trade for the Mavericks?? And protestors, it might be time to work on your tactics...

The Rockets were SO CLOSE to a season sweep of the Grizzlies. Unfortunately, they fell 120 - 119 in a hell of a game that they gave away at the end. No matter...because Houston...we have an All Star for the first time since James Harden & Russell Westbrook is 2020. Alperen Şengün is heading to the Bay. I'll talk about his season, my interactions with his psycho stans over the past couple of days,...

This Rockets season’s been SO MUCH FUN . . . but there’s a specific fan group that needs ALL the chill pills…unless they want to be the worst faction of sports fans in the history of Houston. They have me wondering who's been the WORST faction of fans in Houston sports. Plus, there’s been bunch of press conferences introducing new head coaches across the NFL this week. You'll hear some highlights,...

Amen Thompson became a star last night. No debate. He's the Rockets best player and should be their foundational piece going forward. Plus, the latest on the Texans offensive coordinator search. They interviewed a candidate that I liked, but after hearing an interesting Bobby Slowik anecdote, I believe THIS unlikely possibility is something Houston should spend big on. And the Astros officially mo...

Bad calls happen in every NFL Game. But sorry Bills and annoyed NFL fans, they're not the reason the Kansas City Chiefs keep winning. Plus, the latest in the Texans offensive coordinator search. And does the Ryan Pressly trade GUARANTEE Alex Bregman's return?

The Texans and offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik have "parted ways". Was it the right move? And who should/will be the Texans NEXT offensive coordinator? Plus, a brief look at the NFL's conference championship weekend...

The Texans got more bulletin board material from talking heads, but at least the Chiefs are showing them respect. I react to those pundits, and what the Texans had to say looking ahead to the Chiefs.

The Texans moved on from a DIVA, and we all should have seen it coming. Plus, Rex Ryan is eating crow after putting his foot in his mouth and calling the Texans a bye. But was what he said all that bad...or inaccurate? You get to see EVERY Texans response to him. Finally, last night's Rockets W over the Grizzlies was an awesome watch! But I'm excited about a couple of things that happened AFTER th...

For the first time all year - and perhaps for the first time since last season's playoff W over the Browns - the Texans played up to their potential. Can they do it again? How good is this defense? And is C.J. Stroud back? Let's celebrate!

They crapped their pants on national TV in front of Beyonce. Yes, the game didn't ultimately matter since they're AFC South Champs, they're dealing with a lot of injuries, they've played 3 games in 10 days, blah blah blah...but that was about as pathetic a loss as you'll ever see by a supposedly "good" team in the NFL.
