Aaron Boliday must’ve been the ever mentor for Can when he was here because he’s definitely filling his shoes. This guy can get up Some shots and I ain’t complaining about it either
The Bulls started the season with a 6-1 record, beating some strong teams. They won only 3 times in 15 games since then. The current losing streak is 6.
As I write this, three of the top four threads in the GARM concern players who are not Houston Rockets. This has been a pattern for some time now. I've been on here long enough that it does not surprise me, but it still irks me. Do better folks.
The Rockets schedule is just all over the place, we had 5 games in last 7 days, followed by a single game this entire week....
This is due to the summer cup since we got eliminated early then we wouldnt see any games. This actually favors the Rockets since so many are banged up. Overall Rox now have the weakest schedule via SOS. If there's ever a time to win in the playoffs its now.
Ah I see, that's why such a long break. Looks like they added 2 games to our schedule vs LAC and @ DEN to make up for missing the cup playoffs.
Getting the boards they get offensively and shooting after the board at their efficiency is worth about 4.5 ppg over the average team. If they shot at a high efficiency, it would go up to about 5.3 ppg. The variability in efficiency after an offensive rebound is really small compared to the variability in offensive rebounds. Also, the Rockets offense on putbacks, while low versus other teams efficiencies on putbacks, is very efficienct versus halfcourt offenses in general. In other words, getting a ton of offensive rebounds and shooting a low efficiency on putbacks still raises a team's total offense's efficiency by more than the efficiency of putbacks do on elite putback offensive efficiency teams.
I think it shows TOs are overrated as long as it doesnt lead to a fast break. Most TOs happen when Reed or whoever deflects the ball out of bounds or they were fighting for the reb and it goes out of bounds or KD gets pressured and it goes out of bounds. When the ball is out of bounds Rox can set up their defense and they are also a top 10 defense.
