Herein is a series of thoughts on how the Rockets are playing. They’re subjective, and not particularly informed by stats, or perhaps by anything. Consider it an old-style scouting analysis. Perhaps there will be a follow-up with stats. Perhaps ‘Shakers will provide statistical confirmation, or denial of the assertions and questions here. Perhaps they’ll find nothing of value here at all.
It’s not that I’m “done” with basketball stats, it’s that I’m just not sure what we’re in the process of proving or disproving, and I’m not sure I have the tools to do the job anyway.
