HOUSTON ROCKETSOne of the FIFA 18 Coins great mysteries of the 2010-11 season is how the Rockets ended up with the No. 4 offense in the NBA. Kevin Martin's brilliant, and Luis Scola is a beast. Kyle Lowry deserves all of your accolades. But Martin has always been considered an odd fit, Scola isn't terribly efficient and Lowry is known more for his defense. The other pieces were not huge offensive masters: Shane Battier and trigger-happy Aaron Brooks until the FUT 18 Coins trade deadline, Chase Budinger and Courtney Lee otherwise. This was a weird team ... that was excellent on offense.It was pretty balanced, too. Brooks and Martin stand out as the major producers. Scola looks like a typical scoring big man, and Lowry looks like a typical point guard. Rick Adelman is a modern Merlin. The mystery continues.And now: balance gone awry.MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES That is the saddest graph I have ever made. It's almost as if no one wanted to take responsibility for that mess.Kevin Love has the typical supplemental scorer big man thing going ... even though he was the only decent offensive player on the roster and should have had a Kobe-like column.
