Myth: Rockets Don't Play Defense

What do you mean so low?

The Rockets is standing at #1 of the league at 18.6.

 

the rockets play terrible pick n roll defense. the bigs would lay back instead of come out higher.

 

Based on Basketball-Reference.com stats, we somehow are allowing the second least free throws, rather than the other team's bricking more of them.

 

Good argument with solid data. I like debates like this.

 

Fact: Röckëts don't play defense.

 

And who is the defensive coach?

 

turnovers killing us

 

In the words of the great Irishman, Daniel Moynihan, "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Nice analysis!

 

Still a myth? Clippers have a 106 points with 8 mins left in the 4th qtr.

 

Good defense leads to good offense. Our lack of defense is killing our offense.

 

Our defense absolutely sucks. We are 20th in defensive effenciency, it's not a myth at all. We are a horrible defensive team.

 

Wow, Clippers mailed it in during the last 8 mins and still ended up with 117 pts, smh.

Shout out to Jeremy Lin for his stellar defense on J. Crawford.

 

we are turning it over and giving up easy layups and dunks........

 

Yeah, that's pretty much the picture of the season so far.

 

3 things to make this team a lot better

1. Hit free throws
2. Get some front court help
3. Time
