He missed the last 5 games of last season. 67 out of 82 for the year. Not too bad.

I think it's ressonsble to say Davis has been injury prone to start his career.
That's the negative.
Try to find another.

Well mainly bc he's about 15 pounds too light. This year, like last, he visibly thinned downs towards the end of the season. Whatcha gonna do? He's 21 with a very high metabolism.

All truth. When harden had the opportunity to lead a team he made the playoffs his first and every season and the first year roster in Houston wasn't close to as talented as this pels roster. The second best players were Parsons and Asik. Can't deny that.
Part of that is Davis can only play 4 of 5 games where harden is on the court for 9 of 10 games.

For crying out loud his rim defense fg% allowed is behind guys like Jason Smith, David Lee, and Matt Bonner. Points saved per 36 is below league average.

Ok. He's not a rim protector. Now what? Still leads the L in blocks.

And I guarantee you that if there were a changed shot stat, AD would be 1or 2 on that list as well.

4th in blocks, 5th in blocks per minute.

Wrong I'd give it to one of the guys who allow ~40% at the rim. A Rudy Gobert.. or a Drew Bogut.

Start your own changed shot metric dog. You might make a name for yourself. When you start getting the accolades, you can't shout GMoney out as your spiritual adviser. I could be your motivation. Whatcha think?

Clutch City is a nickname given to the city of Houston, Texas after the Houston Rockets won two NBA Championships in 1994 and 1995. The name was given as a response to a front-page headline by The Houston Chronicle declaring Houston as "Choke City." It also refers to the clutch performance shown by the Rockets during their championship years

Thank You Port
I didn't know it went that far back. I have only heard it recently.

The rockets were pretty clutch getting Jordan to retire for 2 years

Would have loved to have seen Bulls vs Rockets.
quote:
In Rudy Tomjanovich's second full year as head coach, the Rockets began the 1993–94 season by tying an NBA record with start of 15–0.[1] Led by Hakeem Olajuwon, who was named the MVP and Defensive Player of the Year,[2] the Rockets won a franchise-record 58 games.[3][4] The Rockets recovered from losing the first two games at home to the Phoenix Suns in the second round of the playoffs, eventually winning in 7 games[5] to advance to the finals. This series is widely regarded as the birth of the term nickname "Clutch City". [3] Houston once again went down by three games to two to the New York Knicks, but they managed to win the last two games on their home court, and claim their first championship in franchise history, of which at the end of Game 6 Olajuwon blocked a championship-winning 3-point shot attempt by John Starks forcing a Game 7.[4] Olajuwon was awarded the Finals MVP, after averaging 27 points, nine rebounds and four blocked shots a game.[2]
quote:
The Rockets initially struggled in the first half of the 1994–95 season,[6] and ended up winning only 47 games, which was 11 games lower than their previous year's total.[3][7] In a midseason trade with Portland, the Rockets obtained guard Clyde Drexler, a former teammate of Olajuwon at the University of Houston,[8] in exchange for Otis Thorpe.[9] Houston entered the playoffs as the sixth seed in the Western Conference, but managed to defeat the 60–22 Utah Jazz in the first round, winning the last two games after being down 2-1 including the decisive Game 5 road win.[7] They fell behind 3–1 to the 59–23 Phoenix Suns in the second round, but won three straight to win the series, and became only the first team in NBA history to overcome both a 2–0 and a 3–1 series deficit in a seven-game series during the same postseason.[10] The Rockets then beat the 62-20 San Antonio Spurs in the conference finals,[7] to reach the Finals against the Orlando Magic, led by Shaquille O'Neal and Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway.[11] When Houston swept the series in four straight games,[7] they became the first team in NBA history to win the championship as a sixth seed, and the first to beat four 50-win teams in a single postseason en route to the championship.[12] Olajuwon, who had averaged 35.3 points and 12.5 rebounds against the Spurs and regular-season MVP David Robinson in the conference finals,[13] was named the Finals MVP, becoming only the second player after Michael Jordan to win the award two years in a row.

Rockets have only recently returned to relevance so the name has made a comeback.
