I did this for @BigMaloe's thread of W/L splits, but put so much work into it and found the results so startling, thought I'd make a thread of it. Pretty cool stats

Rockets are #2 in the league when shooting <=33%

Is MDAs "Keep Shooting" philosophy helping us win at a impressive league-wide rate, even when shooting poorly? That is: when you are cold, it's still better to be cold from 3, than cold from 2?

W/L Record when shooting <=33%

UTA 11-8

HOU 8-7* (fwiw: we have no games at exactly 33%, and only 2 above 32)

SAS 6-5

OKC 13-12

BOS 8-8

CLE 5-5

GSW 6-6

CHI 11-14

CHO 8-10

ATL 8-12

WAS 7-11

TOR 6-10

LAC 5-9

DET 6-11

LAL 6-12

MIN 6-13

MEM 6-13

SAC 5-12

IND 5-12

PHI 4-11

NYK 4-12

POR 4-12

MIL 4-12

DAL 4-13

MIA 4-17

ORL 5-20

PHX 2-11

NOP 2-14

BRK 2-18

DEN 1-14

* I put HOU higher that SAS in the near tie, based on Net Win Pct between games shooting less than 33% and games shooting more for each team. that is, SAS performs worse vs their record than we do.

Rockets are 7-1 when making 11 threes while shooting <= 33%. KEEP SHOOTING!

The next closest team only has 2 wins in that criteria, because most teams don't keep shooting them enough to make 11 of them.

Thats great stats, but we tend to have more games with low shooting percentages. For example, from your numbers:

No. of games shooing <=33%
Houston - 15
Golden State - 12
Cleveland - 10
San Antonio - 11
OKC - who cares

If you can be above .500 when you shoot below 33% from the 3 that's a good sign. Means you play good D.
