[B/R Zach Buckley] “Ranking the NBA’s Best Small-Ball Lineups this Season”

Special Covid Edition - small strains.

 

Anyway, it's taking a great deal of courage as well as running a risk to maneuver situations to the team's advantage, after all there are 18-game left.
If it is, i bet morey behind the wheel …he is a smart gambler.

 

thx a million.

agreed. so 4-game losing streak is something can't be explained for now.
while 18 games left, any maneuver go to be crazy.

 

nuggets are still young, what's more, as you mentioned, Jokic is gonna be their weak point while coming across rox's micro ball system. they may have a better chance to get away with in first round by moving up to second seed to show down with either dal or mem.
for rockets, as long as we (rockets ) can prevent ourself head-on clash in first round with clippers, lakers and thunders, it's gonna be hands down we advance to second round.

 

House only took at most 8 shots a game.

Of the 8 shots that house took half were paint attempts.

The House put back in the Celtics overtime win came when harden got held scoreless in the fourth before the losing streak!

 

All I know is house is my favorite player on the rockets.

In the Celtics overtime game, harden went scoreless in the fourth quarter.
I know how many shots my favorite player takes.

House is a mix between former rockets Walt 'wizard' Williams and Carl Herrera in my opinion. House even has shades of Tracy mcgrady.

 

Clint capeala was becoming a favorite.

Really like to see Jordan and the hornets get Clint capeala to become a contender in the east.

Michael Jordan deserves a Max player or mid level exception player to go with rozier and Graham!

 

I don't particularly see the value in ranking small ball lineups against each other. Ultimately the point of the game is to have the best lineup without qualifiers. Who cares if you have the best small ball lineup if your lineup loses to most reasonably good teams with bigs in them - I'm not saying that about Houston specifically by the way, but talking about generally. The other problem there is generally most small ball lineups aren't "full time" and thus have limited data sets to analyze and the more those numbers are influenced by situational applications of the lineup. In other words, if my coach only played small ball lineups against other small ball lineups or maybe only in blowouts, etc - you would see wildly skewered results. According to those numbers, the Clippers best small ball lineup is missing both Kawhi AND Paul George - obviously that is not a lineup playing the other team's best lineup - that's clearly meant to match up to another team's bench guys.

I think we get too far in the weeds when we compare the Rockets' numbers against the small ball lineups of other teams - we miss the forrest for the trees. We still have to beat the Lakers, the Bucks, etc if we want a ring and that means whatever lineup we put out there has to be better than the lineups they play with their bigs.

 

I'm not gonna trash the rockets.

God speed to nba.

House deserves most improved award, wish the team would have signed hartenstein to some years because hartenstein has potential. Hartenstein works hard and has yao Ming type potential.
