The Odds Of The Rockets Missing That Many 3s? 1 In 72,000

We choked .

 

Never tell me the odds.

 

It was the Hurricane Harvey of 3-point shooting. Also, already posted.

 

Might be a good idea to hire guys that are proficient in outside shooting. Not guys who can shoot the shot, but guys that consistently make the shot.

 

Nobody believes this was the one game in 72,000 for the Rockets to shoot this bad. There's a myriad of factors here.

1. Fatigue. 100th game of the season.
2. Fatigue. Too many minutes played in recent games.
3. Fatigue. To many heavy minutes in the game.
4. Pressure of elimination/advancement.
5. Missing key playmaker.
6. Best shooter in a funk.
7. Officiating not calling close-out fouls.







8. Oh.....And the opponent defense might have had something to do with it too.

 

Rumor has it that the rims and ball are rigged somehow with magnetic technology controlled by the refs

 

FAKE SPORT ..THEY TOOK IT FROM US IN THIRD AS PLANNED...GSW TO GET MAJOR INJURY AND LEBRON WILL WIN TITLE..ALL SCRIPTED LIKE WWE...

 

somehow this doesn't help. But interesting to know. Thanks for posting KC

 

Yea well except for the fact that we didn't. Harden hit one that was wiped and he was fouled on two others. That's at least 3 and combined with the moving screens and fastbreaks from misses it was enough. Truth is those expected 9-12 points for that never happened and moving screen 9 points against was enough despite the poor shooting. But poor shooting, horrible officiating, and injuries was just too much.

 

stanley cup > nba finals this year.

It is proven, this is the first year that golden knights got into the league? and they are going to win it all. ALL sports are extremely RIGGED if there's a series. On to football season, lets go texans!

 

I don't think I'll ever get over us not hitting just 4-27

 

Seriously flawed methodology.

- Assuming all such shots are independent.
- Not taking into account the auto-correlation resulting from momentum (and lack thereof), fatigue etc

In reality those consecutive bricks are much more serially correlated than the same shots from different games, hence much higher probability that such a fiasco happens.

Particularly after repetitive whistle rapes from that scumbag Scott whatever Foxter.

 

I would love to re-create all 27 shots with the people that took those shots and under the same conditions (meaning if someone was guarding them, shooting from the same spot, etc.) and run this 10 different times. It would not surprise me if there is at least 4 times out of 10 where we hit at least 12 of these shots or more.

 

Many analysts are talking about the need to improve our shooting efficiency. We had too many volume guys this year and not marksmen the likes of Klay and Steph.

Just sorted the tops in NBA from this season-- Any ideas of trading for the following?

Darren Collison - 46.8% on 96 makes
Reggie Bullock - 44.5% on 125 makes
Otto Porter Jr. - 44.1% on 138 makes
Joe Ingles--- not happening
Klay Thompson
Kyle Korver
Anthony Tolliver- 43.6% on 159 makes
Jayson Tatum
Buddy Hield - 43.1% on 176 makes
Al Horford
Doug McDermott 42.6% on 92 makes
E'Twaun Moore- 42.5% on 128 makes
KAT
JJ Reddick - 42% on 193 makes
DJ Augustin- 41.9% on 114 makes


.....

First Rocket is Ryan Anderson 38.6% on 131 makes... Not sure he even took a single shot in the play offs.

 

9. Playing an opponent who is basically half of the USA Olympic Team

 

This.

If the Rockets "choked", they would not have defended as well as they did.
