On what team, league or planet would these stats not win you the ire of every single fan?

They did attack your arguments, and your response was apparently anything that proves you wrong is a logical fallacy.

So yeah, not much less to do but mock you mercilessly.

 

Correlation is not Caucasian.

 

You may want to look up the definition of red herring.

My argument: back in 09-10, had anyone wondered "what planet we are on" after a top-3 draft pick scored 0 pt in his first 2 playoff games, it would have been a knee jerk reaction. Small sample size, for one. Secondly, young players learn and get better, as we've seen in Harden's case.

Also, correlation is not the same as causal. If anything, I'd argue that Harden's 3p% shooting has more to do with the W-L record. In the 4 games we lost, he shot 8-of-31 for an abysmal 25.8%. In the 2 games we won, he was 7-for-13 (53.8%).

 

lol His first year Harden had an extremely small role on that team. He was a 20 year old rookie and no one expected anything from him. He averaged 2.5 attempts a game in the two you are talking about. What's the point of making that comparison like him going scoreless was a big deal? It wasn't back then and if you have any sense it's still not now.

 

I knew that a long time ago. But am happy that I'm helping you learn. You're welcome as well.

 

It wasn't a big deal, that was my whole point. Harden's talented and a poor first 2 playoff games doesn't change that, not to mention the uber-small sample size and his small role in it. It would've been a knee-jerk reaction if anyone thought it was.

 

Make a contribution to the tip jar and you'll be able to. You're welcome (again).

 

sky is the limit. sure, lin can put up 20 game perfomances often, but if he can't cover the sg and his man then it's better to have Bev out there. or just put bev at the power forward.

 

So I take it you are upset with the team. Understandable.

I think a lot of people are high on Kool-aide because everyone was tell them before the season they wouldn't even be here. No had faith in Martin, Lin, Parsons or Asik being able to compete. Harden change expectations but most on the board are sticking the media line that one "super-star" can't do anything in today's NBA.

So us just getting to the playoffs is a accomplishment and people would have been fine with us getting swept as well.

I do feel you, I actually believe this team has enough talent that we SHOULD have won the 6th seed, we probably still would have lost but we have enough talent to do better then just backdoor into the playoffs. But at the end of the day, you can't fault a fan for trying to look forward to next season when at this point, nothing anyone can do.

 

Is Roxlove just GlenRice's latest account?

 

Just because we disagree doesn't mean I can't/won't help a fellow Clutch fan.

 

This doesn't really make sense. The Rockets are the youngest team in the league, just making it to the playoffs is a great accomplishment, nevermind extending OKC to 6 games. Rather than earn the ire of fans, other teams which have older players yet has a lower record should be the ones pissed off.

Rome wasn't built in a day, and OKC spent 6 years in mediocrity before they became contenders.

 

it is still the earth. Do you eat?
