Easy to generate different starting lineups when your "superstar" Center decides back-to-backs aren't part of the plan to start the season.
Good thing you have skills comp winner Pat Bev at your disposal to integrate all those combinations both offensively and defensively.

So in other words, a Seahwaks fan who said they'd make the playoffs after their 0-2 start was being illogical and ignorant considering
The margin of error for a sample size of 2 out of 16 is more than 4 times the margin of error for a sample size of 26 out of 82.
In other words, 2 games in an NFL season is not only a far smaller percentage of the whole season (12.5%) compared to 26 games of an NBA season (31.7%), the sample size difference, irrespective of the size of the season, makes the NFL example far more variable.
I'm sure you knew all that when making such a dumb comparison though.

BUT what really makes your comparison poor, is that the Seahawks played the Bengals and Panthers,
The two losses were against the Rams and Packers, try again.
You- Panthers are 0-2 and still have to play Carolina and the Bengals my numbers say they won't make the playoffs.
Someone who uses common sense - Oh it's early in the season who cares if they're 0-2 they will get it together and make the playoffs. They are too good.

Nope. Better fact check before you come with something like that. Check the schedule bro.
Nice try.
Your comparison isn't remotely close either, wayyyyyy too many differences in the 2.

Regardless your comparison is dumb due to the sample size difference.

Besides, Houston will probably make the playoffs, given that a losing record may get it. But that doesn't negate your poor reasoning, not to mention your 60+ win prediction.
Posted on 12/16/15 at 11:41 am to buckeye_vol
Right. They won't win 60 games. You got me.

quote:First off, you were talking about their "no" roster continuity.. They returned 79% of their roster in Ariza, Beverly, Jones, Howard, Harden, Capela, Moti, Terry, McDaniels, and Brewer. Only Golden State, Chicago, Atlanta, OKC, Memphis and Orlando returned better. Including the coach. Furthermore, their most frequent starting line up this year is 4/5 the same as the most frequent last year and the 5th was on the team last year. So yes, they do have quite a bit of continuity.
11 diff starting lineups this season I'd love to see a team with more who is playing better.
To your different starting lineups point, the Clippers have had 10, Cleveland 8, Atlanta 7, San Antonio, Indiana and Memphis 6.. Not as many as Houston, but quite a few and they all have a better record than Houston. Also for the record, the team with the worst record in the West has had only had 4 different lineups which is less than the Warriors, so the number of different lineups is basically irrelevant.

Boom logic:
LA Lakers: 4 Different Starting Lineups
Golden State: 6 Different Starting Lineups
"Golden State has no continuity.
Er.. wait.. they returned 96% of their roster.. shite.. "

Golden state had 2 different starting lineups the first 20 games..lots of time for the team to settle into rotations. Oh wait they were already established 2 years ago. Obv tons of continuity with that squad.
Houston had 8. Pretty easy to see the difference. . HOU has guys playing together who hadn't played together before. Harrell, Capela, Lawson, etc all playing big minutes. Motiejunas and Bev who played big minutes last season were out. D12 missing a couple games at the beginning.. Throw in a new coach installing plays and guys running the plays in games who haven't ran them in practice becuase they've been hurt.etc.etc.

yea no shite, we both saw who won the series after HOU knocked the rust off.

Most frequent meaning what 5 games, 6 games? When the MOST frequent lineup starts ~20% of the games together you're proving my point for me. Thanks brother.
Posted on 12/16/15 at 1:50 pm to Boomshockalocka
Players from every starting lineup this season:
Ariza
Beverly
Capela
Harden
Howard
Lawson
Thornton
Jones
Terry
Motiejunas
Brewer
Of those 11, ~81% are returning from last season. The point is, nearly the same players as last year are starting and playing together and yet their production is much worse.

You would have a point if Howard and Jones didn't miss half of last season, and Bev and Motiejunas didn't miss the end of the regular season + playoffs. Capela didn't play until the playoffs. Those guys were all on the roster last season but there's always been at least 2 guys out for the most part. Wouldn't expect you to be able to keep up though since you don't follow the team.
The Pelicans have most of the same players from last years team too. Have they ever all played together, not much. Not even close. Clutch City is similar.

So now your argument is you do have continuity and it's actually injuries from last season that are at fault for the Rockets struggling this season?
