    Sure have. Its all or nothing which I dont really care for. I wish this team would get more baskets in the middle area to get rid of the lull and the fast break starters going the other way.

    You have it backwards: the key is to allow fewer points than your opponent. Whoever allows the fewest points, wins!

    I looked it over and it appears, in the Rockets 7 wins, they scored more points thab the other team. In their 12 losses, the OTHER team scored more points! So 100% of the time, the team that scored the most points - won the game.... So it appears, all the Rockets have to do is score more points than the other team!

    Quick, get Adelman on the phone!

    So essentially if we shoot well, and the other team does not, we win?

    Interesting theory but it needs to be researched more. Graphs are always appreciated, they help display your complex statistical analysis into a form that someone of inferior intelligence can understand.

    Someone needs to inform the coaching staff that the Rockets fan base has discovered the answer to our team's predicament.

    CBud sucked.

    But if Lowry or Miller hits a FT they missed, or if Lee or Miller did what they were told and fouled DRose at the end of regulation, we could be talking about how bad CBud is playing while laughing that they won in spite of that.
