    Houston Rockets Fail to Launch



    I think this is an incredibly great analysis of the Rockets through 12 games. I know it's been a bit more games, but still, some food for thought.


    edit: I posted some more of the article so that lazy dicks won't completely crap all over an article they 1. haven't read 2. don't have the capacity to understand.

    analysis: an investigation of the component parts of a whole and their relations in making up the whole

    synopsis: A brief outline or general view, as of a subject or written work; an abstract or a summary.

    did you even bother reading the article or are you just stupid? the article is obviously analyzing the reason why the rockets struggled by looking at certain players (parts) and how they relate to the whole (team)

    try understanding (ie reading) something before writing it off.

    and the part I quoted is just the first part, imbecile. obviously I'm not gonna post the whole thing.

    "Incredibly great analysis". Wow, do you rely solely on Clyde for the rest of your rockets analysis?

    I read the whole article and I feel its an excellant article with good summary for all the things that have happened. I don't understand why people are bagging it to be a crap article cause its clearly not a summary.........


    anyway, im surprised Chuck Hayes is grouped with T-Mac and Yao. Chuck is obviously doing things ( rebounds, steals) that are helping us win games. He has a decent Plus Minus as well so its not just playing alot with T-mac and Yao. I think the shock is Battier and his inefficient play. He will probably snap out of that funk. I just wish he got more shots some how, run a post play, get him more corner shots. He should be scoring at least 10ppg I reckon

    lol i'm stupid when you are the one that thinks he discovered fire because he found numbers proving what helen keller already knows...namely that our role players are slumping and underproducing. I may be ranked below dubya, but you should be ranked somewhere under mike vick.

    Don't get upset, because you decided to be an ass to someone for no real reason and he jabbed back.

    The read is interesting. You don't often see numbers broken down to where a player brings X wins to a team.

    Stop fighting on the boards, THAT is what looks stupid. Discuss and debate. Leave it at that.

    lol that was actually a pretty good comeback. though "underproducing" is two words.

    anyway I thought it was pretty interesting and didn't realize it had already been posted. they have a good article on the mavs up now too.

    Why are all of your responses so damn caustic? People are playfully ribbing you and you are calling them stupid and resorting to childish name calling.

    Oh and who gives a sh*t if someone doesn't spell a word right? We are all friends here.

    It sounds like you have a bad case of LMS. What are you . . . 5'4" - 5'6"?

    6'1 hahaha

    but that's not important. I just didn't understand why people would respond to a topic regarding an article they haven't read. you're right I probably responded harshly, but it's most likely backlash from the Rockets play as of late. I don't think I'm better than anyone but I still think this article and that blog have alot to offer. so check it out!
