Here are the Rockets scoring ranks per 48 minutes: PGs: 56 total Beverley - 41 Lawson - tied for last SG: 57 total Harden - 1 Terry - 35 Brewer - 42 SF: 56 Ariza - 31 Thornton - 10 PF: 60 total Jones - 20 Capela - tied for 37 Center: 47 Dwight - 16 Josh - 24 http://espn.go.com/nba/statistics/player/_/stat/scoring-per-game/position/centers I think the PG position is too important and we need more scoring from it. Lawson is fine in assists, but both he and Beverley need to be more aggressive in looking for their shot. Most successful teams have PGs who can triple threat and we don't have one so I think it is holding the Rockets back. Beverley is a 3 and D player and Lawson has been great at passing and ok at driving, getting better at shooting lately. Let's hope he continues to improve. All scoring team: Beverley Thornton Harden Jones Dwight
Sometimes when you win, you really lose, and sometimes when you lose, you really win, and sometimes when you win or lose, you actually tie, and sometimes when you tie, you actually win or lose. Winning or losing is all one organic mechanism, from which one extracts what one needs.
geez.... why bash on someone who took the time to post stats... ...i thought it was kinda cool that Thornton ranked 10th among sf...
You realize we're a terrible defensive team even with four good defenders playing with Harden? How's it gonna look with Thornton and Jones playing with him? And at the 3 yikes
and sometimes, it rains. think about that. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EZprAlFcQLA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
FYI, their regular PPG are very similar except for Marcus. I don't see what you guys have against stats this far into the season. Teams would still prefer to attack Harden. It's smarter to attack the other teams best offensive player so he is too tired to create on the other side. I never suggested that line up except for maybe when the Rockets are in one of their patented 9 minute scoring droughts or when they are down by 15-20.
These are 100% what I have been thinking all along! As a result, if I'm DM I would go hard after Jeff Teague before the trade deadline. We need more production from the Point Guard position.
Real plus/minus, I know this stat is deceptive, but why not: PG Beverley: 0.39 Lawson: -4.84 SG Harden: 4.13 (1st amongst SGs) Terry: -1.8 KJ: -1.94 Brewer: -2.12 SF Ariza: -0.49 Thornton: -1.3 PF Capela: 2.13 D-Mo: -1.34 Montrezl: -1.5 Jones: -4.3 (dead last amongst PFs) Center Dwight: (6th amongst centers) Josh: -0.86 Best +/- line up: Beverley Harden Ariza Capela Dwight
Thanks for the stats Stone. Can you give me the DRtg of each player. My at work and can't do it right now. How know defense is had to quantify and DRtg is deceptive (like Brewer being around DRtg 105).....playing the passing lanes and getting steals skews this stat. I'm just curious.
