Do you think Green, who finished with 26/6/9 on TS 89% did not provide enough offense?
With FVV out, no he didn’t. He had 5 points at halftime. 26 points is slightly above average for him. Of course, inconsistency is the biggest knock on him. He basically had one good quarter, as he disappeared in the fourth, again. At least he had a decent road game for once, so yay?
You haven’t explained how the Rockets could improve from 55/39/74, with a TS 65.7% with an offensive rating of 136.3.
I assume you don’t know this, but the best offensive team in the league (Pacers) average a true shooting of TS 61.3% with an offensive rating of 122.5. The Rockets’ offense today completely blows away the offensive efficiency of the best offensive team in the league.
You likely don’t understand this because Jalen’s role was not to dominate shots, but to facilitate, which is why he has 9 assists. Passing when he should, and shooting when he shoot, is how the Rockets played one of their best offensive games ever despite the lost. It doesn’t matter who makes the shot as long as someone makes it.
The issue is literally entirely on defense. If the Rockets were even half as good on defense as they usually were, they could have taken this game.
It’s not Rocket science, honestly, but let me know if you need help understanding what TS% or offensive rating is. Happy to explain.
Maybe he should play like that the whole game…
