Game 1 - Utah 63.2% Rockets 62.1% Game 2 - Utah 71.4% Rockets 61.5% Game 3 - Utah 60.6% Rockets 72.7% Game 4 - Utah 77.4% Rockets 68.0% Game 5 - Utah 56.5 % Rockets 78.9% Game 6 and Game 7 - ? Better practice those free throws. (btw, utterly surprised at how poor of an FT shooting team Utah is also..)
wow, this is a good stat. how about breaking it down even further and lets analyze the number of free throws attemped per game?
Yeah, Yao deserves a lot of credit for the Rockets wins. He's obviously the catalyst for their victories. They couldn't have done it without him.
Yao: anyone shoots better percentage gets a shoe deal from chinese company! everyone rushes to practice
Who knows. But for some reason, FT% has been an eeriely good indicator for this series. In other series I've checked FT% hasn't been this good of an indicator for who wins or loses.
FT% doesn't meant much by itself. obvious factor just from observing, Rafer Alson. game 1, 2, weren't even competitive. game 3, 4, 5, 2/3 wins. this is coming from a statistician.
as of right now - Game 6 - Utah 83.3% Houston 69.2% enough said. Also ,Utah already reached 95 points. We had to keep their points down, but our defense sucked ass tonight. It's been a good season though. And when T-mac did his best 13 in 35 reenactment, we gave a run for their money.
