This defense really is atrocious, bottom-of-the-league level

    This is a fantastic post. One of the few at CF that backs up their assertions with data. Really well done.

    How does the Rockets' defense on 3s compare to other teams? Do their opponents typically shoot half their 3s with either light or no defense?

    Worst defense I’ve ever seen. Will be lucky to make playoffs with this.

    It’s awful and our offense not the best in the league, don’t care what the stats say.

    What do the analytics say about what’s going on right now?

    Nope, i just dont complain like an idiot over a five game sample size. We lost to the Warriors yea, but no one, NO ONE beat them fully healthy. And every game was close, this year were starting off like we did last year, but we have comparable talent level. Don't write the team off in November, its not smart and you are only on here to complain so whats the point, just stop being a Rockets fan.

    You're certainly one of the homers on here. That's for sure. Thankfully, there's a lot of realistic fans on here as well.

    "I don't care if we score more points than any other team in the league, I don't like our offense so it's bad"

    Was getting run off the floor in Miami luck ?

    Or was that an example of piss poor defense ? …. Down 32 by the end of one quarter and 41 at one point in the 2nd quarter?!


    Embarrassing.

    Great post, I'm not sure if you have stats on this info but of those contested shots how many were from players shorter than the shooter? Contested or not, that makes a huge difference. I.e. putting a hand up in Durants face typically won't phase him but bodying him up helps a little. Small ball, lack of length and no hustle is KILLING us

    Harden and his ego want a best friend who doesn't challenge him. So Morey had to go with it. I'm sure he knew the fit issues.
