You've got to be joking.
Call me a realist. I'm excited about this year's team but aren't we getting a little ahead of ourselves here? On the surface it does seem that...
This is all true. I did assume however that the Rockets possessions (88, NBA avg=90.6) and fga's (76.2, NBA avg=79) remained the same as last...
Funny guys. Surprised you aren't taking me more seriously here :). For example, let's take DD's "all we need to do is to score 1 more point...
qwerty - I assumed no change in FTM's. 18.3 is what the Rockets were at this past year. I actually miscalculated. Assuming 18.3 FTM's for...
I've been mulling over the question for awhile and trying to come up with some ways to estimate just how much we need to improve. The following...
The +.8 was the difference between Rafer and his sub. Rafer's on-court was -1.4. It's a fair argument that Rafer didn't have anyone to pass it...
If the discussion is really more about Rafer Alston then there's definitely more to look at. I've been contemplating working up something...
Looking simply at counting 3 ptrs as 1.5 field goals (also known as effective field goal percentage - efg%) is seductive but misleading when...
I'm amazed. Way too much positivity in this thread ;). I like the roster too but folks really, it's only been 2 pre-season games! Kind of like...
Awesome analysis again Kim. Folks have dismissed Rafer's performance last year as a fluke because of the injuries etc and that he'll be fine when...
OMR - that's an interesting perspective but I believe you might be onto something here. I wouldn't go as far to say "stop the pick-n-roll defense...
That's funny :). I'd say a good chance to be 9-6, 8-7. 10-5 is .667 winning pct. Could happen but 10+ wins??? Not going to happen with the...
Let's put this in perspective. Let's assume that everyone but Yao shoots 3 ptrs instead based on a .332 3-pt percentage. My back of the envelope...
Firstly "we" weren't all screaming for a "pass-1st" point guard. 2ndly Rafer has a lot to prove still. Hollinger points that out. See the...
You have to take the good with the bad. Here's the bad... The choice of players fall squarely on JVG's lap.
Kim: Nice analysis! Another problem with Rafer and Head getting shots in the corners is that this shot is usually after the ball is swung...

Bill Duffy is on Team Yao and was instrumental in getting him into the NBA. He's known as a straight shooting agent with a lot of integrity. I...
KD weighs in :D . Agree totally.
