durvasa, thanks a lot for the statistic data! Could you tell me how the efficiencies were calculated? It looks to me that the defense efficiencies...
A_3PO, I agree with you that other players lost the intensity of playing defense as well. This could have been partially contributed from the pass...
Good point on T-Mac part, SuperMarioBro. He is a more mature play maker than ever and the self-combination may work better than before. I would...
Why Rockets went up at the beginning? 1. T-Mac regained confidence after the back therapy by the "magic" doctor and his fantastic play-making...
Great point. That is the key. Unfortunately, it's just not in JVG's blood.
Good points. I think what JVG could have done is to bring in the guys who are eager to play, such as Snyder, VSpan, and JLIII. They could bring...
Close game! If Wade was not injured or Shaq was not taken out of game by Riley, the result could be different. Riley tried to protect Shap I guess...
[I like both playing and watching basketball, and I am able to watch almost every Rockets game this season. So I start to analyze the game and...
VSpan is not bad at shooting comparing with JLIII, and he is much better than JLIII at point guard. JVG is not over the complaint VSpan had, like...
First of all, I'm very glad for tonight's win. But looking at the 4th quarter concerns me that we do not have a good playmaker outside Alston and...
BTW, JVG should not blame VSpan alone for the team's bad performance in the 4th quarter during the news conference.
Winning usually covers up potential problems. JVG is doing great on team defense, but his inability to develop talents (for long-term) is still...
I agrees with most points in the original post. The problem is that JL3 is not a really PG, he is a quick SG. When he drives to the basket, he...
Poor inside game is the reason of loss. Tracy's penetration is not as sharp as two years ago and his 3-point shooting is almost gone. But Rockets...
Bonzi's strengths are his good post move, passing, and mid-range shooting. His major weakness is that he is short under basket. You can see in...
A surprising and great game! Yao dominated early on. Penetrations by other Rockets were unexpected by Spurs and destroyed Spurs defense set...
It is hard to measure the power of a team by the number of superstars/stars as previous posts have pointed out. Basketball is a team sport. To win...
We need a guard that can (1) take the ball to the rim and finish and (2) feed Yao creatively. This first element takes pressure off Yao and...
Second that.
Alston is not a starter PG. Head is not a PG, but a good SG. No one in this team, except Tracy, can feed Yao creatively. We need get a...
