    I see Houston winning 50-57 games, or being seed # 2 -4, but still getting past the Lakers (winning the conference, due to the above play-off scenario). ;)

    im actually kind of surpirsed at how accurate we were able to gauge our record last year..

    +1 most of the responses.

    Healthy Yao
    Full training camp together and staying healthy +50 wins .. probably 53 which will make us a 3rd or 4th seed.

    The consensus seems to be anywhere from 48 to 54 wins which is exactly what I was thinking. I'll go with 51 wins.


    51-31

    PP takes up a roster spot unless he gets cut. Doesn't matter if he's in DLeague or not. So I think Harris is cut.

    And I different poster suggested that Yao's limited minutes will be a chemistry issue. It doesn't appear to be so far. It looks to me that the Rox will use Yao in the high post more, which beside saving a little wear on Yao will also allow them the same plays with Miller or Yao on the court. We will still post up Yao though for sure. Besides all that Yao's attitude helps the chemistry concern quite a bit.

    50 to 54 wins, not counting the playoffs, where we will make some noise.

    52 is likely the number for the total win. Current team do not lose any impact player from last year, and with addition of Miller and Yao, 10 more wins should be expected.

    Exactly right. The weighted average prediction of the board was accurate to within one Rockets win last year. The weighted average board prediction was 43.1 wins last year, and the actual wins was 42:

    HTML:
    Win Range    Wins       Votes        Points             
55 or more    57    X    10    =       570             
50-54         52    X    18    =       936             
45-49         47    X    75    =     3,525             
40-44         42    X    85    =     3,570             
35-39         37    X    39    =     1,443             
30-34         32    X    14    =       448             
29 or less    27    X     6    =       162             

                        247         10,654 / 247 = 43.1 predicted Wins
    Very impressive. It will be interesting to see if we are as accurate again this year. Personally, I kind of hope not, because I have a vicarious desire to watch the Rockets win around 65 games or so this year.

    But if we do collectively predict the Rockets win total accurately again this year, that might tell us we are on to something here.

    57 wins. Injuries will come but 2 and sometimes deep at each position is great risk management.

    Adelman seems to always have them around 50 wins even when players go down with the exception of last season. They made only minor additions swapping Lee for Ariza and adding Patterson and Miller and Yao will be limited in terms of playing time.

    If I had to set the over/under line, I'd probably put it at 50 and I'd take the under, but just barely.

    To counter all of the pessimism I am going to vote for over 60 wins. Will it happen? Maybe maybe not but I am sick of people deciding the season is over already.

    Getting within 5 wins is not that much of an accomplishment......nailing it is great, getting within 1 is good too...after that...meh.

    I like the cut of your jib, sailor....greening you up.

    What does unrealistic optimism gain you?

    The pessimist can enjoy a successful season even more so than the optimist, because his expectations have been exceeded.
