Right now, he only has one plus skill: creating his own shot. But it's one of the most valuable ones in basketball, so someone will give him a...
This is an oversimplification of how Rubio's shooting impacts his team as a whole. If he shot the 3 at 40%, he would take more than the <2 he has...
TMac was a uniquely frustrating player for me to watch. My mental image of him as a Rocket isn't 13 in 35, it's taking contested 17' jumpers over...
Tough to price. Doesn't really do anything well in particular, but can look good in spurts. His best role would probably to be an energy guy off...
Having Asik next to him should help quite a bit, but he should really focus on improving his defense this year. The blocks are nice, though a fair...
He's talented and still young, but he's shown a lack of discipline at every stop in his career, even on Lebron's Heat, a team flush with veteran...
DMo's biggest problem in translating his successful post play in the lower leagues to the NBA is that he gets pushed off the block and out of his...
The example play he gave would absolutely be considered an isolation by Synergy's classification. Not to say that Synergy's methodology doesn't...
I doubt he'd sign with the Rockets. He'd almost certainly want to go to a team where he can get minutes to showcase himself for a chance at...
Over the course of a season I end up watching many more non-Rockets games (100+) than Rockets games. I'm basing my ratings on how well they follow...
For me, it's definitely no. I end up watching hundreds of NBA and NCAA basketball games a year as part of my job, and as such follow both leagues,...
I guess Indiana's thinking is that not offering a supermax contract incentive to George when he's potentially elligible for one just isn't worth...
At this point, George is getting the max based on his potential and he'd probably get the max from pretty much any team with room. He'll almost...
I started lurking to find out info on Yao. I only casually followed basketball at the time, so I didn't know anything about him. I finally got an...
I have mixed feelings about the Franchise era, but ultimately I can't be too hard on Stevie. He definitely had his shortcomings, and I have my...
Golden State's only really a rival in the sense that both they and the Rockets are young, up-and-coming teams. There's just no historical weight...
I'm not sure if anyone else mentioned it, but Beverly played outstanding defense on the final possession as well. The Spurs were trying to run...
It's probably unfair to Ackerman, but he'll always be in the shadow of Peterson and Foley. It's hard for me to assess him in an objective way when...
I don't have a problem with the principles of the PnR defense, and I agree that most of the problems of the defense come from having a young team...
That's true some of the time, but most of the time a weakside help defender starts coming over as soon as they see a pick and roll developing, not...
