    Here's a stat nobody would have ever predicted. I know, I know its only 13 games but I would never believe at any point of the season and ya'll wouldn't either that every starter on the Rockets would avg 10 points or more so far w/ our sixth man avg 9.3 pts.


    James Harden 25.2 ppg
    Chandler Parsons 15.5 ppg
    Patrick Patterson 12.5 ppg
    Jeremy Lin 10.2 ppg
    Omer Asik 10.2 ppg

    Starters are accounting for 72 points per game = AMAZING!!!!

    Stats via http://content.usatoday.com/sportsdata/basketball/nba/rockets/stats

    Also NBA overall Rankings via ESPN

    101.3 ppg = 5th in NBA
    45.9 rpg = 4th in NBA
    21.5 apg = 13th in NBA

    The only detriment on this team is Points Allowed (100.2 = 26th in NBA)

    Overall Rankings Via ESPN

    We should have been 9-4, cause we should have beaten Heat and both games against Blazers but you know what those games were learning tools for the same reason we came back to beat the Bulls and steam rolling Knicks last night.

    we dont need no PF nor other star player( many teams have that and they stink!)...we already have a championship team....just keep building chemistry and gather playing time together....

    whoa whoa whoa... Championship team?

    Errrrrr...

    ...Maybe, give them some years to develop.

    But for now:
    -Learn to play defense,
    -draw a lot more offensive plays, do it right.... and............ yeah, we got a pretty good team that might go to 2nd round playoffs.

    Well for the highly optimistic fans and after a good win, yeah, with Harden being the best SG, Lin doing Lin V2.0, Parsons defying odds and be an all star, Jones turn into Robert Horry, Asik getting DPOY and morris being the 6th man of the year.

    Then we might have a chance.

    I did not want my thread to turn out like this but its what you get with clutchfans....i thought this would be a celebratory thread to give props to this team early in the season but the person who posted after me just spoke their mind...

    but what team in recent history has had its starting five at one time to all average ten points or more through any part of a season....Only the 2003-04 Detroit Pistons all had its starters average double figures in points...GET BEHIND THIS TEAM!!! Not saying we gonna win the Finals not saying we gonna make the the playoffs but we have the cast to do it...with Morris, Delfino, Douglas off the bench with some sleepers like Jones and Cook. We just need to step up our defense big time

    The scoring from Asik has been the biggest surprise to me so far.

    Well, in the grand scheme of CF threads, yours is certainly not in the bottom half. At least it contains some interesting stats. Don't feel bad. The "Jeramey Lin Sucks!" thread got over 700 comments.

    Only if he had better hands he would have averaged 20pts a game.

    That is really interesting and I wouldn't have expected it either. I'm really surprised with the offensive strides that both Asik and Parsons have made. Can you imagine if Lin was living up to expectations on offense? This squad would be really tough.

    I still have hope for Lin too. His shot will eventually come around.
