I dont mean to rain on yall parade but we've played some real bad teams and barely squeaked by each time. Washington OKC Brooklyn Pelicans(No zion, no jrue) are 4 of the worst teams in the NBA. This version of the Rockets looks like a 50 win team to me.
Under performing, they have had a cake schedule. The cant even handle the Nets who are one of the worst team. They are 0-5 against the spread. They scraped by a couple of wins against horrible teams.
Yeah I can't see that, unless they simultaneously miss 20-30 games each, which is unlikely. Lebron will take his 20 games spaced out over the season when it suits the team. AD will miss his 20-30 at some point. Rest of the team may not be as skilled as in the past, but they are more experienced. AD has 0 problems scoring on or off the ball from any place on the floor. Lebron is a lesser version of one of the best players in NBA history. I think they'll be fine. We're looking at a top 4 team imo, even if they miss 20 games each.
50 wins? haha. We'll see about that. Westbrook played with Paul George last season and couldn't get 50 wins.
