I should add to the title... Rockets tend to lose when Harden aims for triple doubles... lately? This is a long season and with Harden already...
I started to wonder if the team does better when Harden tries to do too much (i.e. expending energy going after rebounds to support his triple...
I've been looking for the right place to ask this... why hasn't Isaiah Taylor been playing the last couple of games? Just when he started to look...
These numbers would be more meaningful if he didn't have a plus/minus of -7.3. I mean, that's pretty bad. I can only hope that's a sign of not...
Game #4 The Warriors still outran us noticeably and one stat stands out: 49 UFGA for the Warriors vs 32 for the Rockets. We simply give them too...
Game #3 The Warriors ran like it was Game 7, by far more than any game the Rockets played all year. I give a lot of credit to Kerr for instilling...
Harden simply has no will to play off-the-ball defense, no team can overcome that. Just watch him.
Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see Harden doesn't put the effort in his off-the-ball defense and that it has little to do with how much he...
To me the turning point in the game came at the 4:29 mark in the video, when both teams were simply trading baskets, and Paul was dancing a jig...
Just a lot of kudos to Smith and Howard for upping their games in a big way in Game 7, especially for the high number of minutes they played. As...
Game #4 Distance: Rockets 17.04 > Clippers 16.62; UFGA: Clippers 44 > Rockets 37 Average team speed: Rockets 4.26 > Clippers 4.15 Jones - 4.57...
Game #3 Distance: Rockets 16.47 > Clippers 16.28; UFGA: Clippers 45 > Rockets 35 Average team speed: Rockets 4.12 > Clippers 4.07 Prigioni - 4.5...
Game #2 Rockets outran the Clippers. They won. If Harden would ever choose to stop being the slowest player on the team and focus on his defense...
Predictable. Based on the Rockets' history, it's clear they took their foot off the gas pedal once Chris Paul was deemed out of the game, and were...
Game #5 Hell just froze over because Josh Smith breached 4.0, with what is probably his highest effort of the season, and probably not...
Our defensive efficiency isn't looking very good. Our main saving grace is Dallas is just as bad. We are one missed shot away from this being a...
The Rockets outran the Mavs in Game 3, Rockets won. The Mavs outran the Rockets in Game 4, Mavs won. It's not that simple obviously, but it's not...
Total distance traveled alone doesn't say anything at all. The Spurs are #1, the 76ers #2. But, if a team outruns the other team in a game, that's...
...just like there's no correlation between second halves of back-to-back games and wins, when players are tired and not able to run as hard....
VERY interesting numbers for the Jazz game. While they outran us by a mile, their 18.27 total distance was one of the highest numbers in the NBA...
