BSPN forecasts the Rockets to finish 8th in the West

Well, to be fair a lot of people on this board would probably place the Rockets even lower...

 

this, we won't make playoffs because Parsons the super star future of our team left us.

Also Lin god is gone, we might as well tank

 

I love it

 

I'm trying to be objective here. Grizzlies did have more injuries and played without Marc Gasol for a big part of last season. On the other hand, the rockets were pretty much at full strength all year except for Asik.

EDIT: My mistake. I thought Gasol missed a lot more games then he did. He missed 23.

 

This is all good news. Hopefully they can play with a chip on their shoulder all year.

 

Lol, I say we finish 4th behind Spurs, Okc and Clips.

The rest will be really close between the Suns, Grizzles, Mavs, Warriors, Blazers.

I don't think Grizzlies at 6 is a bad choice, they're a great team. The Rockets should definitely be higher than the Warriors, Blazers and Mavs though.

 

Don't really see anything wrong with that. Out of the 8 teams listed, HOU is the only team that got clearly worse.

 

It could happen. West is stacked.

 

6th maybe, 8th is too low. The ranking did show 6 to 8 all have 49 wins. That's about how I predict it. Gonna be hard to get 50 wins this year with this roster, doable if we are injury free.

 

shrug*

 

Good ole BSPN. Cuban gives Parsons $15,000,000 a year and the Rockets lose an All Star. If we had matched without getting Bosh Morey would be an idiot who overpaid for a good-but-not-great player.

It's too early for such a list anyway. Right, Plowman?

Right?

*sound of crickets chirping

You mean, a lot of people on this board, many of whom should know better, would probably place the Rockets at 15th in the West.

Let the Haters hate, when we start stopping these teams with our defense we will be ranked 1 on every ranking table

 

We are worse than last year and barely made the 4 seed, so yes, there's a real chance we are going to be a 6-8th seed. However, Mavs and Grizzlies overrated and Warriors underrated.

 

I disagree. Harden battled injuries for a while and Howard missed the last 8-10 games of the year.

 

I'm getting that 1993 vibe, where our team fed off the media disrespect.

Enough is enough. Time to bring back Mario Elie as an assistant!!!

 

Eh. We were far from full strength.

Portland was the epitome of full strength last year, no way they finish 4th.

Dallas is over rated.

They go the top 3 group right. I see the next group as Memphis, GS and Houston in some order. With Dallas and Portland as the 7 and 8.

 

Here's the list....They have the last 3 teams tied with the same record

Team.....Projected Record...Projected W%.....Last Season Record....Last Season W%

1 Oklahoma City Thunder 58-24 .707 59-23 .720

2 San Antonio Spurs 57-25 .695 62-20 .756

3 Los Angeles Clippers 56-26 .683 57-25 .695

4 Portland Trail Blazers 51-31 .622 54-28 .659

5 Dallas Mavericks 50-32 .610 49-33 .598

6 Memphis Grizzlies* 49-33 .598 50-32 .610

7 Golden State Warriors* 49-33 .598 51-31 .622

8 Houston Rockets* 49-33 .598 54-28 .659
