Game 4 was an unfocused effort. Our fatigue level showed from the opening tip as we tried to win while putting out as little energy as possible....
1. The Mavericks intentionally foul/ tie up Howard under the basket at every moment. They intentionally foul Capela at least once or twice a...
The Rockets deserve some props for rallying to beat New Orleans. The Pelicans are quite the half court group; they actually had no fast break...
One more thing - some readers will roll their eyes over this thread. That's fine but the truth hurts. James Harden is having an MVP type season,...
I know that people will say - it's the Spurs system - that's why they have higher mph numbers. But the replays last night don't lie. There...
Brewer may have had his lowest mph of the season tonight (3.93) and he was our bright spot. Second Chance points Utah 28 - Houston 9. Ouch
"Touches" is the player tracking stat that tells us how the ball is changing hands. Tonight's results: Houston -363 Utah 498 And let's go...
Game Notes On Atlanta 1 You can't give up 51 uncontested shots against Atlanta and win. 2. Our 5-21 shooting + 5 turnovers in the first 6...
Capela is a big time talent. He's only 20, so yes, his conditioning is limited. But wow, does he impact the game. He makes it all look too easy -...
T Jones has been playing terrific - even to the point of making me eat my words. I love it and I hope he keeps getting better. But does he have...
More notes on 'effort' and 'energy': Harden's mph (actually a 3.92) was his highest number in over a month. And Motiejunas really hard as...
I think the stats (especially when compared against other NBA teams) gives some meat to McHale's incessant clapping for more pace, energy, and...
Another good advanced stat for measuring team effort is Uncontested Field Goals. While we can all be puzzled as to why the Rockets - a...
Rockets88, Glad you see my point. Here are the average speeds of a few Spurs: Patty Mills 4.8 Cory Joseph 4.7 Tony Parker 4.6 Danny Green 4.5...
Again, I don't mean to be brutal but the stats don't lie: The slowest players (mph) in the league are as follows: Shavlik Randolph #1, DeMarcus...
I just don't think the numbers lie. We just don't run hard top-of-the-key to top-of-the-key. We don't start 3 steps someone and hook it to beat...
Please note: there is something to this energy language. It's not just coach speak. In the Dallas game, we were dragging around; in the Raptors...
The sky is the limit for Capella. First tier power forward here. He looks better than Ibaka at the same age (except Ibaka did have a jump shot by...
On Parsons Read the scouting report on Papanikolaou - "plays above the rim when he has a head of steam . . . otherwise an average athlete." You...
Teamwork Lacking If you took the coaches in the Western conference and ranked them, where would you put McHale? Is he in the top 8? I doubt it....
