Good insight on Rockets players performance 

Post#1 » by Teckon » Fri Jan 22, 2010 2:06 am

This article gives a good insight on the rockets' player's performance:

Truehoops said this is probably the best analysis other than Morey's own.

the trio of Brooks, Landry and Lowry filled out with players excluding Hayes and Scola has played 14 points better than average in 255 minutes. This is the Rockets at their best.


Here are some interesting findings:

Here are some more comments on the Rockets:

* With Lowry and Brooks as the backcourt the Rockets play 5 points per game better than an average NBA team. The rest of the time the Rockets play like an average NBA team,
* In 29 minutes the trio of Hayes Lowry and Budinger filled out with a choice from Landry Scola, Battier and Ariza has played an amazing: 57 points better than average per 48 minutes (in 29 minutes.) These combos certainly deserve more time.
* Andersen has been great in his limited minutes. The Rockets should experiment to see if he can maintain his effectiveness over a few more minutes.
* Andersen +14 Adjusted +/- Rating in 4th quarter has been great in 4th quarter while Hayes (-13 Adjusted 4th Quarter +/-) has played poorly. To the Rockets credit Andersen plays more in 4th quarter than any other quarter and Hayes plays less in 4th quarter than any other quarter.
* Interestingly, Budinger is great in the 1st and 3rd quarters but mediocre in the 2nd and 4th quarters.
* Landry, on the other hand plays his best in 1st and 4th quarters , but poorly in the 2nd and 3rd quarters.

Generally, every player is going to have 2 quarters they're "best" in. Sometimes it may reflect that they're playing against inferior competition, but other times it's just going to reflect that it's inevitable for someone to have 2 quarters where their stats are better than the other two quarters.

Also +/- still sucks.

Q:How are they experts when they're always wrong?
A:Ask a stock market analyst or your financial advisor
