re: Only 7 Games back from the 4 Seed

LOL, no not even close. Anthony Davis has a 3.10 real plus/minus. KAT is 1.27 with a big negative on offense. KAT is mostly just getting a few garbage buckets by standing next to the goal with the opportunity cost of somebody else not getting those high percentage garbage buckets.. He doesn't create anything for their offense. AD has had to. AD hasn't been as good this year as last(in large part due to trying to make him a perimeter player IMO), but is still far better than KAT.

Are you still spouting this nonsense? Simply isn't true and you were clowned in the other thread. Strength of schedule ratings are not driven primarily by how many times you've played the Lakers vs the 76ers vs the Nuggets. Even if they were, its still very relevant.
How many times out of 100(50 home/50away) does Houston beat the Lakers when they are trying??
How many times out of 100(50 home/50 away) does Houston beat the Jazz when they are trying?
Exactly the same amount of times? Or you are just spewing nonsense?

The nonsense is assuming that just because Team A and B have the same winning percentage that they have the same chance of beating Team C.
Too bad they play 1 game and not 100. If Houston is playing well it don't matter if they play the Knicks or Sacramento they will win that game. The difference in SOS doesn't make a hill of beans in the actual result of individual game.

Math ain't your thing I guess bro, Playing teams that have extremely bad or good records(see 76ers and Lakers) drive SOS MORE than playing the .500 team.

If we fire Gentry now we can still make the playoffs

1/3 = 33.33%
27/82 = 32.92%

We are as close to a 1/3 of the season as you can possibly get.
Nice points everywhere else though.

Don't let the lineups that Gentry decides to trot out on the court fool you. Of course it's going to look bad when he plays Tyreke and Cole in the same backcourt. Or when he glues Ish to the bench unless it's to stupidly pair him with Cole in the backcourt. Or when he jumbles up Tyreke, Cole, Gee and Asik out on the court together. We have a really good mix of players. Last year we only had about 6/7 NBA quality players before we picked up Dante, Cole and Q Pon so of course Monty was going to struggle with his lineups. The injuries were tough the first 12-15 games, but we literally have no excuse now.

If this team gets above 500 by the end of the year AD will have earned my MVP vote.
I don't see it unless Gordon catches fire like he did the end of last season, Asik puts it together starts giving 20-25 good minutes a night, and Qpon stabilizes the 3. Along with MVP AD, thats a lot to ask this season.

This isn't about excuses, it's about style of play. If the team wants to be the Spurs/Warriors etc, they need smarter players to run those systems. If not they should have done what most people on this board wanted, a Monty upgrade that would maintain the offense while fixing the defense. I think the team has chosen, so unless they decide to clean house and change course, we need a new set of players and anyone that has Low BB IQ, Ball Stopper, or Bad Defender listed in their player profile needs to go.

FYI, AD got the 5th most votes last season. I'm not betting on it, but IF this team can play .750 ball the rest of the way and makes the playoffs with AD balling out, I guarantee you he finishes top 3.

It's interesting.
They are 7-8 since the 1-11 start. That's PTAO territory. This team only played about 2 months of 50 win ball when they thought they were fighting for their coach's job. Doesn't mean they can't capture that magic again, but they were a mediocre team for most of last season.
And that Prada piece hints at the fact that the defense with this group just might not be fixable, even by a Thibs or JVG. Erman is a Thibs protege, just like Thibs is a JVG protege. Certainly those two guys have serious chops, but I don't think the concepts would be radically different.
This piece on the need for defensive versatility hits on something deeply flawed with the Pels. Outside of perhaps the most versatile player in the league, the Pels are almost exclusively littered with one dimensional players on either side of the ball. It's almost criminal how limited they have turned out around Davis.
