But teams like the Rockets probably do it already with a bunch of analysts all splitting up the work, with the results being proprietary. My point is, a better approach to the solution already exists, so what's the point in doing an inferior analysis?

If there are larger trends that are generally applicable in different scenarios, that will (hopefully) show up in these statistical analyses. That could be important for making high-level, team-building decisions.

A very odd viewpoint, but one that I have utilized in the past. Why does CF even exist when all of the discussion has zero effect on the Rockets direction? Because we are interested in the topic? I have no idea, but I certainly will be open to hearing your view.

"My point is, a better approach to the solution probably (my fix) already exists". Do you know that your statement is true?

Excellent. I have read that article several times over the last 36 hours. The guy is just amazing. And I tried to not cover ground that he had previously illuminated.
