rockets have best net rating in crunch time

We also unnecessarily put ourselves in clutch situations quite often.

 

With scrub Russ? Well damn

this is not surprising...our starting lineup is the best in the NBA...doesn’t matter if it’s clutch time or the 1st quarter, the opposition is usually getting slapped up

 

Haha. Was just about to say the same thing. This stat is meaningless because more than half those games we had a big lead but managed to squander that into a “clutch” situation.

 

It's a rating rather than a total, so it still matters in those cases.

 

Thats H-Town sports, doe.

 

In other words: who cares that Chris Paul is having a good season in crunch time?

Frankly in terms of total (not average) production, we lost nothing in the trade, and Westbrook is a few years younger with one extra year on his contract. Not to mention the intangible value of having someone on the team who Harden can confide in, take direction from, lean on for creating points more often.

 

Why would a ORtg/DRtg Net rating when your starters/closers are on the court EVER be a meaningless stat, much less in the last 5 minutes of a close game.

That would be like saying a Net rating in the 1st 5 minutes of games is meaningless, too.

 

What's our ranking from the moment of getting a 20 pt lead until crunch time?
