m_cable, I don't think I'd be interested in Boozer if I were running the Rockets. His contract is huge, injury history extensive, and his subpar D...
A couple things: 1. +/- is indeed greatly influenced by who you play with and against and who replaces you when you sit. Just because, say,...
I was personally excited about Stro.... though in the back of my mind, I was thinking "Why doesn't this guy rebound more?" I thought, like...
1. The biggest difference in the opinions here is the one regarding Battier's value. Some fans think he's just a "glorified glue guy" or "solid...
Yeah.. Mike James better sign soon or John Lucas will steal his job and his money. :D
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/boxscore?gameId=260030269 #8 vs. #32, head to head.
David, 1. Good point about moneyball being more flexible than most made it out to be.. it is indeed to find undervalued guys, whoever they may...
He's worse, Peja got out of the first round. He's more like Yao and TMac.
You are all wrong, my real identify is Stromile Swift. The recent trade was a huge shock to me. I spent days wandering the backwoods of...
And has either one of the Rockets star players ever gotten out of the first round? The problem with the Grizzlies was that they just dont' have...

There was a rumor that Seattle had an agreement with Memphis to trade the 10th pick+ the expring contract of Danny Fortson for Battier, whether...
Of course Elton is way better than Battier. :p . I wasn't arguing that, but Tyson Chanlder (THE NEXT KG!) also was a more valued propsect than...
True... but is he that huge of a risk by Center prospects. I mean... look around, we are talking about a positon where recent high lotto picks...
1. Thanks guys! I've been reading the forum for a while now and finally signed up. Hope to get more information from reading here and hopefully,...
Yes... now of course Battier is not quite Elton Brand (though the Bulls version was tagged as just a stats padder on horrible teams), but also...
I seem to remember a part of the idea of Billy Beane's "moneyball" idea was to figure out which statisitcs are more relevant to team success than...
Just wondering... How do you guys define "moneyball" in the context of the Rockets?
They can always have Spurs sign him first and do a S&T. From what I read about Scola's scouting report, he is a skilled but not an extremely...
