NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Chase Budinger went 44th in the 2009 NBA Draft to the Detroit Pistons. Hey, things are looking good. They need some outside shooting. In the flash of an eye, Chase Budinger was a Houston Rocket. Hey, things…hey, there are not any starting spots on this team. But wait, maybe there are, at least for a while, because Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming are nursing the usual injuries and that might just open the door.
Chase put on an exhibition in the art of shooting …read more

Here Ron Artest thinks he is a Rocket already and leans into take off position

It does not take a rocket scientist to tell if Ron Artest at his best will improve the Houston Rockets. He will.
Artest wanted to be reunited with Coach Rick Adelman. Rick was his coach in Sacramento when Ron started playing there.
So the trade was made…
A source close to the Kings said Tuesday a trade has been agreed upon sending Ron Artest to Houston for former Sacramento point guard Bobby Jackson, first-round draft …read more

It has to be smoke and mirrors.
How are they doing it? There is no Yao. The ultimate collapse was predicted.
Yet, the Houston Rockets rolled once again.
Houston 83 Atlanta 75
Ok, so the Hawks are not exactly prime time with Mike Bibby or not, it is still 20 in a row!

Houston even trades two players away, do not suit up the guy they get and still keep winning!
How can this be?
Well, admittedly, most of the teams they beat were pretty bad teams, but they did just knock off Chris Paul and the Hornets (sounds like a 60’s rock group) and there were a couple of close scrapes with the Cleveland PreWallace LeBrons led by …read more
