http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/powerranking?season=2005&week=6 17 (22) Rockets 9-12 The flip side to all the T-Mac hubbub: 10 times already, in 19 games, McGrady has scored fewer than 20 points, which happened only 13 times in 67 games last season. JVG doing his job of lowering scoring power of his player....
I am surprised that they ranked memphis ahead of us when we are 2-0 against them and have a better record than them.
Sad but true, only New Orleans and the Nets score less than we do. Rockets: 86.6 PPG (1.4 PPG above NO's league worst 85.2), one of only 5 teams in the league to not score 90 PPG or more. We're number 22 in point differential (-2.9) We're number 27 in FG% (0.419) Only the Lakers force fewer opponent turnovers than we do. We're the dead last in the NBA w/offensive rebounding % Thankfully there is a bright side: only San Antonio allows fewer opponent PPG than we do, and we're number 3 in opponent FG% (0.420). We're not as bad as this BBS thinks as far as turnovers (#12 w/14.1, Chicago - #30 w/17.6, Sacramento #1 w/13.0). We're also close to the top third in defensive rebounding % (10 teams have a higher %). Anyway....um.....I won't argue 17. Evan
