    Well, I am actually getting good vibes irt to the Rockets' future, something I haven't felt for the past few years. I like the infusion of young talent, and I just think if Morey keeps adding talent, one day not too far in the future we will be staring at a true contender.

    Props to the fat guy.

    I think they'd play strong and competitive up until the all star break. IF they're in the hunt, make a trade or two and go for it. IF they fall short, time to break in some rookies and throw the second half of the season into the TANK.

    Looking at our possible starting lineup, I have a feeling we gonna get stuck in the middle of nowhere once again. 40wins

    Lin = Lowry
    Martin = Martin
    Parsons = Parsons
    DMo = Scola
    Asik = Dalembert

    31-35. Enough to give the rookies some confidence. We end up with the 11th pick as well as Toronto's pick that is around the same range and try to package them to get a big man earlier in the draft, most likely dealing with our buddies the Kings.

    In the 30-40 range, but I'll be watching more than last year.

    I think in this scenario we end up with [​IMG] wins.

    16 t0 20 and I thought I was being generous.

    I expect us to lose 18 of the first 20 and then to get gradually stronger and stronger..

    BTW that is fine with me. I think it will be an enjoyable season.

    My dream scenario. We don't give up too much. We get Dwight who of course has every excuse in the world to pull a David Robinson and rehab for most of the season as we get a higher and higher pick..

    We win 12 games or whatever is necessary to be the worst. Better yet we lose 50 of the first 55, many in the last minute or two as we get more and more competitive. We end up winning 6 of the last 12. Dwight sees the potential of the young guys.

    Dwight wants to play with them, our top three pick, the other max guy who we let him choose and voila!! instant rebuild.

    I'm thinking sub 30 and I'm still excited about watching the team. I like the personalities we have and the vesatility of our young talent. We have a steady hand in Lin, a rangy defender in Parsons, a triple double threat in White, a Jamal Crawford type gunner in Lamb and the crazy athlete in Jones. All of them also seem to be high IQ guys.

    Out of sheer inexperience they'll lose close games, but I expect them to compete and get better as the season goes on.
