    Wow, last season "under" was the correct answer for everything except Yao's rebounding. In light of that:

    1. The Rockets will win [over/under] 58.5 games this season (franchise record: 58).
    2. The Rockets will have [over/under] 2.5 players score 18 points a game or more this season.
    3. Tracy McGrady will play [over/under] 60.5 games this season.
    4. Yao Ming will shoot [over/under] 51% from the field this season.
    5. Yao Ming will average [over/under] 10 rebounds this season.
    6. Steve Francis will play [over/under] 0.5 games for the Rockets this season.
    7. The number of games Ron Artest starts will be [over/under] the number of games Shane Battier starts this season.
    8. Luis Scola's scoring average will be [over/under] Carl Landry's scoring average this season.
    9. Aaron Brooks' minutes per game will be [over/under] Luther Head's minutes per game this season.
    10. Old Reliable: Rafer Alston will shoot [over/under] 40% from the field this season.


    I think Steve gets in at least one token game this year. Probably garbage time.
