    It’s fine we’re really just a game out of 2 seed. With our schedule I really feel by Christmas we are sitting at 2.

    I lived my whole life with Pass/Fail grading system. A = Pass. B or less = Fail.

    Team - P
    MDA - F
    Refs - F

    It’s the never ending cycle around here. Hate the coach, wish for a new one and then realize the old one wasn’t as bad.
    Perfect example, people love VaGundy now but forget his atrocious offense. I do agree on refs tho.

    People hated McHale. Do we realize he wasn't that bad?

    Interesting post, thanks.

    After looking at those metrics, the Rockets are Top 10 in defense (9th) and fourth in offense in the league the past month sample, Nov. 7th - Dec. 7th.

    https://stats.nba.com/teams/advance... Season&DateFrom=11/07/2019&DateTo=12/07/2019

    We're improving after the slow start. Imo we need to be a top 5 defense and have a shot at top 3 or even #1 in offense.

    Rather than settle for #2 or #3, we need to be the #1 seed going into the playoffs. Not taking anyting for granted and of course it will be a challenge, but this team is up to it and has done it before. With everyone starting to gel and if we eventually get Gordon back after all star break we can see where the team is then.


    If our bench can perform at a high level consistently, with scoring, defense and rebounds that will be the X factor this season and going into the playoffs.


    Bench Scoring, still last in the league:
    https://stats.nba.com/teams/traditi...nch&SeasonType=Regular Season&sort=PTS&dir=-1

    Bench 3pt percentage, 20th in the league:
    https://stats.nba.com/teams/traditi...SeasonType=Regular Season&sort=FG3_PCT&dir=-1

    Bench +/- tenth in the league which is good:

    I really have a good feeling we win that protest and replay the game if anything and get our win back
