What are the Rockets doing well and not so well? What are the best evaluative articles written about them? Got links? Appreciate it if you post them.

Lineup-wise their most used are light due to injury but good. Only 2 used over 60 minutes. Have barely seen anything resembling a stable, optimal lineup. 235 dink lineups used under 20 minutes.

Right at league average on efg%. Below avg. overall offensive efficiency with only off. reb.% as a major strength. Defense is good overall but def. reb.% and foul rate are below average. I have pretty strong doubts they get out of second round and first round will be tough. Same can be said for a number of hopefuls though.

Two very good, one ok, one bad, two terrible.

Could they have done better?
