My thoughts as well. Morey has made bad moves in the past (Joey Dorsey?) but you could always see the value calculation behind it. This seems like...
I don't totally disagree, but if Russ's value is playmaking there has to be guys to make plays for, and his contract takes up almost 30% of the...
100%. But you could pay a ton to guards if your guards were all-world (e.g. Harden/Paul, Steph/Klay, Point-Foward-Lebron/Wade) and you could find...
Dollar for dollar, when a GM is budgeting, s/he wants to get output from each player in proportion to what is being paid out. In other words, if...
Harden went back out on the court to work on 3s after the OKC game, if that matters to you.
Bingo. Salt in the wound. Not an analytics trade at any level.
Nah, I hope the front office is taking this seriously.
Exactly the point. The most efficient shot is variable. The amount of points (1 / 2 / 3) is only one of the parameters.
That's still 1.41 points per possession on free throws, 1.38 on 2's... 0.60 on 3's... Low IQ ball to keep taking 3s.
Two possible strategies we can use: Shorten the rotation to 5. Take more 3s. ALL THE THREES.
I saw Harden was 1-17 from 3. He could have shot.... *AHEM* ... 8.82% on 2 pointers with those shots and been equally productive. This is very...
lol. I'm trying to parse out if it's Morey's fault or if his hands are tied. The past two years haven't felt like Morey moves. It might also...
If Harden really wants to win, he has to realize this ain't it.
I don't disagree. And the flipside is, a lot of shots are wide open and we are still missing. That's the only rational reason you trade a dead-eye...
It's hard to watch. We can even take a break from bashing specific players. It's a systemic problem. Westbrook "has value in his playmaking" but...
[Rockets 3-point %] * 3 points / 2 points. The result of that very simple math is what the Rockets would have to shoot inside the 3-point line to...
You know, the Rockets could shoot 32.9% from two and it would have the same effect as 9-of-41 from 3. Even the math in the "math strategy" says...
Just tuning in. 9 of 41? GOOD LAWD!!
But but but but 3 > 2!! (Or 3x30% = 2x45%... But what do I know.)
I for one look forward to the level of neuroses that would happen around here if the Rockets dropped to 7. It would be more entertaining than...
