    Ryan Anderson -Playoffs: 2.7 ---Season: 9.3 --- GAME 1: 0 <---- ******
    Trevor Ariza -Playoffs: 8.6 ---Season: 11.7 --- GAME 1: 8
    Clint Capela -Playoffs: 14.2 ---Season: 13.9 --- GAME 1: 12
    Eric Gordon -Playoffs: 13.1 ---Season: 18 --- GAME 1: 15
    Gerald Green -Playoffs: 6.3 ---Season: 12.1 --- GAME 1: 6
    Luc MBah Moute -Playoffs: 3.3 ---Season: 7.5 --- GAME 1: 0 <---- ******
    NeNE -Playoffs: 2.8 ---Season: 6.5 --- GAME 1: 0 <---- ******
    PJ TUcker -Playoffs: 8.3 ---Season: 6.1 --- GAME 1: 3 <---- ******
    Chris Paul -Playoffs: 21.9 ---Season: 18.6 --- GAME 1: 23
    James Harden -Playoffs: 29.6 ---Season: 30.4 --- GAME 1: 41

    Harden and Paul are the only ones scoring above their Regular Season Average and Playoff Average
    Ego is above his playoff average but that is because it has dipped 5 points from his regular season average
    Green and Ariza were right at their Playoff Average but below their regular season Average

    I am not asking for f*cking miracles
    I'm not asking for perfection

    I'm asking for AVERAGE

    If we got one of those from Lux/Tuckers and Anderson . . . then it is a 4 pt game .. . . JUST 1 each
    The Role players keep the win within striking distance

    Harden and Paul can make up a 4 pt lead far easier than a 13 pt lead

    yeah the game was right there for either team. tuckers breakaway layup that he blew was another big miss as GS went the other way for a bucket

    unfortunately even RS average is too much to ask for most of the roleplayers. Not in the Rockets in every team.

    I just had been listening to the Lowe podcast where he said that before every PO game he had been wondering which guy will show up tonight..will the bench and roleplayers show up? He mentioned the Rockets too..and that only a tough team like the Celtics you are certain that their roleplayers will show up every night.

    Let's hope our guys will decide to show up for the rest of the series.

    Even if they are 3 points below their averages for the season it's already a good performance in my book. Infact it would be enough for us to win the series. It will keep GSW defense honest. It's always hard to defend a balanced offense. But it's really way below that it frustrate me a lot of times. i dont know if its the defense but then how come both harden and chris with the best defense on them can atleast maintain their averages. Even capela against KAT and GOBERT maintained his average.

    our role players can't make layups nor open 3's. They are still pretty good on defense though.

    it's quite painful watching Ariza, Tucker, Moute, Green trying to do anything but catch and shoot.
