Do any of the Houston Rockets staff/coaches/assistants read this board?

In regards to Harden- i think this was the best pickup of the year. He's pretty awesome but he also comes with major baggage that most analytics dont cover. Most people's databases have massive flaws... (example: if Harden knocks down a shot, is it because the guy was a bad defender? was it because a good pick was set, a good pass, lucky shot, no coverage?) When talking basketball most people only spit out #s they see in the box score which is not reflective at all of how a play is actually broken down.

Harden is clearly lacking in defense. When you're allowing Meeks to blow by u something has gotta change. My problem with Harden is he has kobe syndrome to some degree- where if he has the ball and is getting triple teamed he is still taking the shot or trying to split the D where his teammates are wide open.

I'm not sure why we are analyzing Harden now. I thought personnel didn't matter anyways, and you were just focusing on the coaches and front offices' late game execution as it relates to strategy? I thought personnel affecting execution decisions is whats' wrong with the NBA today.

I assume that since you were referring to fouling up 3, etc. you were mostly questioning late game execution, and then Harden gets brought up which then led to me explaining why the coaches run the plays (or Harden ISO's) late in games as opposed to their normal sets?... yet I didn't see a response back as to what would be the better alternative from someone with apparent advanced stats further advanced than that of the Rockets.

Also (separate note) the whole statement "not to be a dick but..." is like when people say something like "Not to offend you but...." (then you say something offensive) or "I'm not a racist but..." (I'm about to say something racist). Can't stand it when people do that.

I'm giving you a hard time here, but you have to understand that if you are going to come in here and say you know something we all dont know, and then dont tell people what you know... you aren't really helping the case for people to take you seriously.

If you know what the Rockets are doing wrong with their game situations, can prove it with data, and can also prove that personnel does not matter in these cases... I'm all ears.

I've seen blood spilled for lesser words than these. Please defend your honor and share some of your analytical brilliance. :grin:

personnel matters a lot. Take a look at the lakers. What type of system you run depends totally on what your players are capable of.
