I know that the majority of Rockets fans are also Astros fans. I’m also aware that several of you who frequent this blog are not Astros/baseball fans. This is a basketball blog, after all. It’s a “Houston” blog nominally because Houston is where the Rockets play.
But hopefully that latter group will excuse me today because I want to talk about the Astros. And omens. We’re about to get depressing.
On May 11 of this year, the Houston Rockets had their most important game of the 2016-17 season. It was Game 6 of the Western Conference semi-finals against the San Antonio Spurs.
