Some are meaningless, but maybe you can help diagnose a problem or two in here: <LI> When Yao Ming blocked 3 or more shots, the Rockets were 22-4. This is an <b>amazing statistic</b>. Consider the Rockets were, in essence, a .500 team, yet managed to win 22 of 26 games when this condition applied. To add to this - in wins, Yao blocked over 2.5 shots a game while in losses got an even one rejection a night - and he played less time per game in the wins. When Yao Ming is a defensive force, the Rockets win. <LI> When Steve Francis had 7 or more assists, the Rockets were 22-10 (this team desperately needs a consistent <B>point</B> guard .. or desperately needs players to knock down shots when the point guard passes to them ). <LI> In wins, Francis took an even 15 shots a game and hit 48% from the field to go with 6.9 assists. In losses, Francis upped his shot total to 17.5 attempts a game and shot just 39.1%, dipping to 5.4 assists. Francis' scoring average remains virtually constant, win or lose (in my opinion, that's a bad sign). <LI> In losses when both Mobley and Francis played (34 games), they combined for 39.7% of the shot attempts and hit just 39.7% from the floor. In wins when both Mobley and Francis played (38 games), they combined for 37.6% of the shot attempts and hit 47.4% from the floor. <LI> Cuttino Mobley hits 41.6% of his three-pointers in wins, while going 28.3% in losses. <LI> In wins, the Rockets hit 46.4% of their shots (98.9 points) compared to 41.3% in losses (88.1 points). As far as threes, 38.8% in wins while shooting 29.9% in losses (while three attempts are pretty close - 15.8 in wins, 14.9 in losses). Here are some individual numbers from 2002-2003 from Rocket wins and Rocket losses: <table width=100% border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0><tr><td bgcolor=000000><table width=100% border=0

Mobley's inconsistancy contributing to losing doesn't surprise me at all. I noticed when he shot well, the team usually won. I know everyone has found a new love for his tenacity but the fact is, if the Rockets had a 2 guard who shot consistently and didn't need the ball to be effective, they could solve 75% of their problems.
Clutch, thanks for the stats. Can you add FGA and FGM to the charts. Yao's stats are amazing. All catagories are about the same in wins and losses, except shot-blocking and shooting. He played less in wins but shot better and scored more. Francis' taking more shots in losses might also mean that his teammates weren't shooting well in those games so he decided to takeover. His trust on teammates is pretty fragile.
they sure do. Nice gathering of statistics. Finally an interesting thread. That 3 blocks for Yao is the boldest of all the stats. 3 blocks and we win 22 of 26 games! Man, hope he will be stronger and bigger (bulk) next season. "Throw it down big man!"
We just need Yao to be more consistent. If he averages 3 blocks a game for the whole season, we can possibly go 69-13 With continous improvement, will Yao be capable of averaging 3 blocks a game? My money is on 'yes'.
I'd like to measure some of this against the league. I know the Francis FG% stat is a real one. Assist differencial seem kinda meaningless. But no other team leader in scoring has a FG% differential near that of Francis except Karl Malone (although, the last time I checked that was a month ago). It would be curious to see Bradley-blocking stats from the past two years. Or Olowakandi. Guys who don't show up with energy every game, like Yao couldn't. No offense to Yao...but he just couldn't play D every game.
Thanks for these stats. Although I'm curious to the player's number of shots per game in wins vs. losses. I suppose I could decipher it with shooting % and points, but ...
HeyP No offense taken (on behalf of Yao ) but was there any Rocket who brought it defensively every night/game this season?
Great stats Clutch! Francis and Yao were all stars by "name" only this year. To be true all stars they BOTH need to bring their game every night, produce every night. That is the one thing that seperates an all star player from an average player, consistancy. All stars do it every night, average players have great nights but also stinko nights as well. All Stars don't have many crappy games. I feel Yao's rebounding (especially offensive boards) and blocked shots are related to his energy level. If Yao can be more consistant in this area he will make a tremendous difference to the team.
I agree. Yao can't play D every game yet. It might be due to conditioning, stamina, the tiring NBA schedule (I heard he played only 1 game a week in CBA). So the jury is still out on Yao. But I also heard Yao has an excellent work ethic and the stong desire to be a great player. So I am very optimistic that he can become the consistent interior defense monster.
Francis and Mobley actually combine for MORE turnovers in wins than losses. Obviously the team is going to shoot better in wins than losses, so the question becomes, is it just because we don't have many good shooters, or is our offense not generating open shots as effectively as it could be with this group of players?

Hypothesis = the team passed more in wins. A more active passing effort will lead to more missed passes, hence more turnovers. When Mobley or Francis iso, they do a good job of not turning the ball over unless it is a charge or something of that nature. This seems to be especially true for Mobley. Look at A/T ratio. It's almost a full point better in wins than losses.
A lot of people believe Francis has really changed, as a person and on the floor. Steve really believes he's a superstar and acts that way ... that was not as much the case before. They can tell him over and over it's better for the team not to get the board, but he'll go for the numbers anyhow. He has brushed off people that tell him to defer to Yao (including Calvin). In my opinion, the fact that his points are consistent, even though it took more shots per game at a much lower percentage, support the idea that Francis is a stats-oriented player. At best, I don't think he has the correct team mentality to be a point guard. However, you could also look at it like he's a guy who desperately wants to win and tries to carry the team on his shoulders when they're losing.
