    1. The Rockets will win [over] 56 games this season.
    59-61 wins

    2. Tracy McGrady will average [under] 25 points this season.
    while the team will score more, I think he will shoot less because of more talent around him.

    3. Tracy McGrady will average [over] 6 assists this season.
    lots of assists to go around

    4. Yao Ming will average [under] 25 points this season.
    Same as Tmac - more weapons to play with = less points for individuals but more team success.

    5. Yao Ming will average [over] 10 rebounds this season.
    just barely over, closer to the basket, less PnR covering at the elbow = more rebounds.

    6. Luis Scola will play [under] 30 minutes per game this season.
    JUST barely, next year he will be over 30 MPG, he will have foul trouble this year which will hurt him some in this area.


    7. Rafer Alston will shoot [over] 40% from the field this season.
    Rick Adelman's system gets easier shots for guards...(I am not convinced as I type this, maybe just hopeful). And if he gets traded he will drop back below 40%

    8. Mike James will play [over] 25 minutes per game this season.
    He should be the main guy off the bench with Bonzi and will drastically cut Rafer's minutes.

    9. Steve Francis will play [under] 25 minutes per game this season.
    Odd man out, he will play, but needs to play better than Luther, and in this offense Luther may be better than Steve.

    10. Bonzi Wells will play [under] 25 minutes per game this season.
    Tmac's main backup, will get at least 20, but 25 is going to be hard to acheive for too many bench players IMO.

    Tough ones ...
    1.Rox will win OVER 56 win this season if they stay healthy.
    2.McGrady will average UNDER 25 points this season.
    3.Tracy McGrady will average UNDER 6 asists this season.
    4.Yao will average OVER 25 points this season.
    5.Yao will average OVER 10 rebounds this season.
    6.Luis Scola will average UNDER 30 minutes per game.
    7.Skip will average OVER 40 % FG because he will play less.
    8.Mike James will play OVER 25 minutes per game.
    9.Steve Francis will play UNDER 25 minutes per game.
    10.Bonzi will play OVER 25 minutes per game.

    These are my guesses,probably not all of them will be true but they're pretty realistic aldough I cannot be 100 % be sure about I wrote bout T-Mac.That doesn't mean he'll not have a good season.

    T-Mac might average some good numbers but 25 and 6 will not go together.
    He isn't a point guard,likely will be playing at SF and get the ball where he will score more not distribute so I see his apg fallin down,maybe to 5.2-5.5 in best case.

    Those were, without exception, very tough predictions to make. I could just as easily guess that every one of them will go the other way, but just barely. I'd say the over/under is set exactly right.

    Also Yao's shotblocking will go up big time this season.

    My picks:

    1. The Rockets will win [over] 56 games this season.
    2. Tracy McGrady will average [under] 25 points this season.
    3. Tracy McGrady will average [under] 6 assists this season.
    4. Yao Ming will average [over] 25 points this season.
    5. Yao Ming will average [over] 10 rebounds this season.
    6. Luis Scola will play [under] 30 minutes per game this season.
    7. Rafer Alston will shoot [under] 40% from the field this season.
    8. Mike James will play [under] 25 minutes per game this season.
    9. Steve Francis will play [under] 25 minutes per game this season.
    10. Bonzi Wells will play [under] 25 minutes per game this season.

    I believe Yao will be the first choice in most cases so that T-Mac's number will be down. Rafer will not make a lot of his shots in the arc no matter how easy the shots are. Rockets will win more than 60 if no health and chemistry problems.
