Had a great game in suspension game, maybe he's shook post-suspension
How has freedom of movement benefited every team but Houston? Maybe running more off ball plays and using more off ball screens would help since...
With MCW being as bad as he's always been, it's really sad to look at the Rockets bench with Gordon starting: Michael Carter Williams Gerald...
Yea, there's the possession problem with them, but also the issue with what they list on the main player page which is Dean Oliver's individual...
https://stats.nba.com/players/advanced/?sort=DEF_RATING&dir=-1&Season=2018-19&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&TeamID=1610612745 Looks like it is...
That's good, at least NBA.com is giving a useful version. The one on Basketball-Reference on a players page and which is used to calculate other...
Switching defense is about IQ, and communication on defense. It's not just about effort, it's not just about the first switch, it is about...

There's selective switching where guards will switch against other guards, or forwards with forwards, but just always switching requires the right...
MCW has the height and length on defense but he might be the lightest guy on the team which doesn't help him on switches inside
It's not as easy as people think for a player who is in his prime years and has not been able to do certain things consistently before and hes...
Because of all the people trying to hype him up prematurely, now others will get mad for him for basically being the player that he is, which is...
