    Defensive rebounding and overall shooting.

    Houston is slightly below average free throw shooting team and 2nd-to-last in 3 point shooting (both %s). Really, it's a testament to the system that we're ranked so high offensively.

    Rockets are 22nd in the NBA in defensive rebounding %.

    Two words.....Kevin Love.

    Turnovers

    But that stat in last night's game about Howard missing more FTs than the entire Blazers team was just jaw droppping.

    Their biggest flaw is time. Give them another year to gel and magic will happen.

    The bench...the bench is the biggest flaw.

    followed by Turnovers and dumba*s fouls

    The Rockets' biggest flaw? Omri Casspi.

    Despite the below average FT and 3PT shooting we are 3rd in both EFF FG% and TS%

    My vote goes to turnovers and defensive rebounding. I don't see the turnovers as a huge problem, as most of the top teams are towards the bottom in turnover rate, but we are next to last and cutting back even a little would help a lot.

    Turnovers and no fire power off the bench.

    The bench can't be judged until Asik plays more games. He's clumsy, but his o-rebs alone help the offense. Omer hadn't played in so long, I forgot we had him.

    Lin does need to stop sucking. Horrible FG/3PT% since NOV. He's our version of George in that regard. I think he'll pick it up. Casspi is giving .354% 3PT, not great, but not bad. Maybe Hamilton will make an extra 0.5 3PM/game....... .354 turns to .375 quick.

    The Heat lead the league in turnovers and won the Championship.

    I'm just saying. ;)

    Turnovers, but I feel this is a common young team thing. We are both young in terms of age and experience with each other, so I believe it will slowly correct itself.

    They can't seem to finish games in convincingly. Everything has to be at the last second. Well most of the time.

    Three point shooting could be better, imo.

    The biggest problem is not being able to stay on top. The blow a 15 point lead so often. I'm not sure why; you'd need an expert for that.

    Defense, and three point shooting. We have shooters but they aren't very consistent. With d12 we would be so deadly if we had better three point percentage.
