I dont know if you could tell by this. BUt I was checking out the ER on our starters compared to the starters on the other teams in the conference.With Howard,Yao,Tmac,JJ, Lue and Mo.T. off the bench our EFRate is higher than other starting lineups. I dont know if that matters in comparing teams, but just thought Ide bring that up. Spurs are so effective because they play really well together. If rockets could do the same, i think we could win our conference or at least right behind the spurs.
its the nature of the game. If you play less you are more efficient. Its like the per 48 min stat. You perform better when you are fresh. Also if you play less you play with more intensity.
