    Yeah, we may regret this, but YOLO, right? Carpe diem! The world may end tomorrow, and if we can haggle over easily misinterpreted numbers today, I think we should.


    May change my username to Marvin Haggler.

    Here is a helpful checklist -- I would like us all to make sure we include as many of these as possible, whenever we can:

    What are the common statistical mistakes?
    1. Absence of an adequate control condition/group
    2. Interpreting comparisons between two effects without directly comparing them
    3. Spurious correlations
    4. Inflating the units of analysis
    5. Correlation and causation
    6. Use of small samples
    7. Circular analysis
    8. Flexibility of analysis
    9. Failing to correct for multiple comparisons
    10. Over-interpreting non-significant results

    In order for Jalen Green to take the next step offensively, he has to work on getting to the free throw line. He’s only averaging 3.5 free throw attempts per game. And that’s the same number he averaged last season.

    Right now, he’s averaging a TS% of 58%.. which is good, but the shine comes off a bit when you realize he’s shooting 48% from 3, which isn’t sustainable. In order to keep his TS% around 60%, which is where all of the elite scorers are, he has to increase his free throw attempts to at least 6 or 7 per game. Right now, he’s nowhere close to that.

    This isn't meant as criticism, but as the Rockets identity matures, a few things need to change.

    -25th in steals (6/GM)
    -26th in assists (20/GM)
    -27th in FG% (42.8%)

    While we're at it do you think we could violate every single logical fallacy at the same time!? I dont know why, but I think we can do it! :D

    THIS is the toxic optimism that gets me out of bed each morning! Thank you sir for bringing levity to a forsaken space of curmudgeons! You are the real hero! By the way this thread will become very useful in a few weeks and will probably get bumped into eternity. Congrats!

    Not all dreams are achievable. There are some dreams that no amount of risks will help you succeed.

    Low block rate, opponent's high FG pct, did not force a lot of TOs and mistakes.
