Advanced stats go here

our offensive rating with both Harden and CP3 on the floor is 113.5, and they’re still gaining chemistry

it’s only been 4 games, but CP3 has a 29.8 PER

Harden has a 29.7 PER for the season



our backcourt is insane

 

It's a little hidden secret but our rebounding is adding fuel to the fire as well. Against Denver, we only had 8 offensive rebounds, but the advanced stats show there were only 18 total offensive rebounding chances.

When you're shooting like we were (and that was ridiculous at times, 25 of 29 from the 8 minute mark of the first quarter to halftime) and getting on the glass, AND playing D (with 13 steals), and Denver has an off shooting night, you cruise.

If we can get Harden out of these binge turnover funks (he had 7 of our team 18, but 5 of those TOs were during the 73 point explosion noted above), we'll be on our way to 130 point average.

 

After first game against GSW injured Chris Paul had PER around 9.0
Now he has 29.8.
That means from last 3 games after come back he has PER around 36.6

off course if my equation is correct
(9 + 3x)/4 = 29.8

 

That math doesn’t work for PER, the way it is calculated, but suffice it to say he’s been really, really good the last 3 games.

 

That's just an estimation based on assumption same amount of minutes every game.
Precise numbers would be even bigger because of less minutes he played in last 3 games comparing to first game against GSW.

But also I'm not sure about that 9.0 PER. I know i was less than 10.00

So we could say for sure it is at least 36.4 PER from last 3 games.

 

After last night with Rockets beat down on the Nuggets and the Thunder’s beat down on the Warriors, we are now #1 in point differential.

#1) Rockets +9.8
#2) Warriors +8.9
#3) Celtics +7.3

 

Harden currently has a win share/48 minutes at 12th all time. With people in the top 10 being Jordan, Kareem, and Wilt. Along with Chris Paul, which currently has a win share/48 minutes at #1 all time.

 

Another side note for my above post. Those guys are on the SAME team.

 

Our garbage unit is severely holding down our ORtg

 

James Harden is 11th

And Clint has a 26.3 PER. If CP3 qualified, we'd have three out of top ten.

 

Rockets ORtg with garbage time taken out is 115.5

Curse of the garbage mamba

 

You are right. But I was factoring in Chris Paul being there haha

 

But, CP3 doesn't fit at all???

 

Updates?

This shows field goals efficiency when receiving a pass from various players on the team. Most notable is 55% 3-point shooting from Chris Paul (Ryan Anderson being the major beneficiary -- 12/15 on 3s in games tracked).
