Nope, I don't think he even came to BR for it. Saw a few other TDers but not him.

I have my suspicions heady might be posting under another name currently, but whatever. I won't blow his cover.

Yes it has tailed off a bit the last 2 games, he was at 60% after the first 5 games. I think it's sustainable too, well not 47% but maybe 42-43%



Yeah Courtney Lee is shooting some obnoxious % from 3 too. These things I eventually even out.

I do think the writer has a point though about 'fit.' I said the same thing when people brought up the idea of the Grizzlies letting Zbo walk to bring back Pau in the offseason. Fit often matters more than the overall talent level of some individuals when comparing two guys with similar talent levels.

I was one who didn't like the move, but Ariza is proving me wrong for sure. I thought a lot of his numbers were due to how open John Wall can get people.

You didn't think he'd be able to get open looks in Houston?

Not as good of looks. Some the stats on the open jumpers Wall creates are absurd.

Wall individually probably creates more shots than any Rocket, but the Rockets offense is all about getting players open threes.

The stat I saw was something like Wall creates more open corner 3's then the other top 3 guys combined.

Now you have guys cheating in on Dwight and James. The team is doing a really good job of moving the ball. Chemistry this year already is better than last year. I think a lot of it has to do with Lin being gone.

Scoreboard? Or better yet...standings? Get used to being the bitch on bottom, as you'll be looking up at both Harden and Howard all year.

But hey...at least you have your elite all star. Moral victories and everything.

We have a 21 year old player who is pretty much universally recognized as the third best player in the entire association. But yeah, no big deal

The Rockets as a whole are definitely the better team right now. No doubt about it.

Hey last yr a 23 yr old harden was voted 4th best player in the league. We ain't exactly hurting over here. And harden took a team with average at best surrounding talent to the western conference playoffs. No small feat as you will see this year as a pels fan.

In general, You won't see me pop in threads without some stats or something to back up my take. You'll never see me pop in a thread and say ' lol lol idiot idiot Howard > Davis' and that be the entire post. Big difference
