Our starting 5 is best according to this ranking, but the bench players need to prove they are good in the playoffs! I think we are the contender!!
Well, the starters can play longer minutes (they don't do back-to-back games much anymore) with a tighter rotation. Knock on wood and hope no significant injury hits .... and they stay out of foul trouble. Can't wait to see what this now healthy team will do. Go Rockets!
The best starting 5 in the league. They proved it to me early on, and they've continued to prove it all year. If they can play the game their way and the bench doesn't lose it for them, the Rockets can win it all. It takes Five, baby!
I think the Lenovo Stats is an accurate indication of a team's depth. Look at the Suns. They appear on that page 7 times out of the top 50. Both the Mavs and Rox appear 5 times. The Spurs and Pistons appear 4 times. The other teams are on there, but appear less frequently compared to those 5 elite teams. Our team having 5 different combinations that play together efficiently gives us a great advantage in the playoffs in a 7-game series. Unfortunately we might have to face 3 of those 4 teams above (not counting us) to claim the championship. Here is to a great playoffs. Rockets red baby!
The Lenovo shows that they can hang with anybody. But a better Lenovo doesn't necessarily mean that you've bested every starting squad out there ... so now it's a little about match-ups and a lot about team and heart.
