What will be the final Rockets record.

[DaDakota]

Well, 2 years ago, I missed it by one game, last year I nailed it right on the money, so what will the Rockets record be this year?

47-35 8th seed.

What are your predictions?

[BBFEVER]

50-32 7th seed with a 1st round exit against San Antonio

[boomboom]

81-1

The one loss comes when Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley must use their superpowers to overcome a crime wave that infests Gotham City. Unfortunately, they lose to the Jazz.:D


(48-34)

[Rocketability]

I'm sticking to my old prediction.

53-29

Losing in the Western Conference Finals to the Fakers

[Jack _Hammer]

Houston will go 49-33 - seventh seed in the West.

[TxCowboy96]

52-30

Lose in the Western Conference Finals to the Fakers in 6 games!

[JuanValdez]

47-35 8th seed. Hate to be a follower, but there are only so many records to pick.

[Raven Lunatic]

44-38

I would love to say more, but between injuries and our weak frontcourt, I think this is the best I will hope for.

[NugzFan]

better question, how many of the exact same threads will be started on this forum?

ill go with 12.

[Franchise2001]

49-43(DARN.. ALMOST 50)--7th seed
World Champs behind MVP Francis and MIP Cato :D

[Hottoddie]

I think I've made my opinion loud & clear. :D

This is the second I've participated in, so you've got around ten more coming.:D

[HOOP-T]

45-37

[Gutter Snipe]

52-30

Beat the Blazers in first round, and lose to the lakers in the second in 6.

[silent j]

After tonight it'll be 1-0.
(okay, 46-36)

[moestavern19]

I was off by 1 game last year , I'm saying 49-33

[Sonny]

60 is a little high

I like 55-27

Beat Toronto in the Finals 4-2

[Flying_4_ever]

55-27 if they stay healthy. Look how much better they have gotten since last year. Their bench is better. Their defense is better. Why couldn't they win 10 more games than last year?

[JR]

51-31

[ROXRAN]

I think 52-30. 4th, or 5th seed. Playoffs!

[DLS]

50-32

6th seed

[NugzFan]

62-20, 2nd seed.

[Thanos]

51-31!

The team is deep and we can make it even with injuries!

[r-fan-since-81]

52-30! Dam'it! :D

[BayouRocket]

In the last tread that I predicted our record for this year it was assuming basically the same lineup as last year adding the rookies and without chasing Webber. I said 52-30.

A lot of changes have been made since then (Rice, Willis, No Hakeem, Taylor injury) but I still think it is a reasonable prediction. In fact, I think with what we have shown in the preseason (esp. the improved defense) we can definitely do it.

52-30

[rockbox]

I don't think any team besides the Rockets improved in the West except the Lakers with Richmond. The Rockets will be the sleepers of the NBA this year. I think we will be second in the midwest behind San Antonio and third overall in the Western Conference.

59-23

Are we REALLY better than Utah. Even though they are getting older, Stockton and Malone are poster-boys for consistency. I'd be hard pressed to say that we would have a better year than Utah...although, it's completely possible that they will fall off the face of the earth (hopefully). I agree with your 'sleepers' prediction.

I hate the Jazz!!!:mad:

[Swami]

We will clearly be a better team than last year (especially defensively--you can already see it in the preseason) and this puts us at 49W and 33L (7th seed in the West). LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!

[Rocketman95]

51-31, 7th in West.

[SamCassell]

48-34, 7th seed. Partly because I think it's got a good chance of happening, partly because no one else has picked it yet.

[Toast]

I'm with the 49-33 crowd.

[thacabbage]

If Cato maintains intensity throughout the season: 56-26

Most likely: 33-49

[Desert Scar]

48-34, 8th seed in the West. 1st round exit to the Lakers, but NOT by the broom (3-1) like the rest of the Lakers opponents fall until the Finals.

[Band Geek Mobster]

52-30

[Timing]

50-32

7th seed

[DVauthrin]

its time

steve takes his rightful place as the best pg in the nba and a SUPERSTAR

53-29

6th seed, be afraid very afraid western conf

[PhiSlammaJamma]

46-36. And it will be enough to get into to the playoffs at a 5 seed.

[Dave2000]

I say 55-27 6th seed

2nd round exit

[ZRB]

4-78

Oh, sorry, that was my Bulls prediction.

50-32, 6th seed, lose to Blazers in first round, in five games.

[fadeaway]

My prediction:

42-40

Just miss the playoffs. Hope I'm wrong.

[Rocketability]

You are wrong! :cool:

[4chuckie]

50-32, 6th in the West

[Rockettebustier]

59-23

Division champs!

[Achebe]

100-32, and if that doesn't add up to 82 games, then I'll use 65-17.

If that doesn't add up to 82 games, I'll use 82-0.

[Chuck04]

50-32

[SmeggySmeg]

42-40

and if we had a decent front court who knows?????

[Manny Ramirez]

49-33, 6th seed

Lose to the Kings in the first round 3-2.

[The Cat]

52-30, 5th seed...

[gr8-1]

51-31. 6th in the west

[grummett]

36-46

[WickBrunson]

38-44...Cato+Thomas just won't cut it in the Western Conf.

[jscmedia]

I think 50-32 is realistic. That's a BIG step for these guys. And second round a definate possability , especially if Rice stays somewhat healthy and the touch is there.

[Rocket River]

53 - 29

Rocket River

[idrockfan]

51-31

[Hottoddie]

Just 59 more wins & I'm a visionary. :D

[ROCKETS1972]

48-34
7th seed
loses to spurs 3-1 in first round of playoffs
