Episode notes
Rockets' Offense Feels Sustainable
- The Houston Rockets' top offensive rating looks real but will normalize as three-point percentages regress.
- Their identity (limited attempts, high efficiency, offensive rebounding, free-throw rate) suggests a sustainable top-five offense.
Wait Before Judging Mosley's Job Security
- Give Jamahl Mosley time despite a rough start because Orlando values his defensive foundation and past rise.
- Monitor progress to ~30–40 games before expecting a coaching change or decisive adjustments.
Cooper Flagg's Early Struggles Are Contextual
- Cooper Flagg is a buy/hold candidate because he's 18 and likely to improve as usage stabilizes and teammates return.
- Early struggles are contextual: youth, role confusion, and heavy defensive minutes explain poor shooting and box-score variances.
