I'd expect Rockets win more than 52 games. Last year, Rockets won 53 games with a very inconsistent first half due to Tmac saga. This year's team is improved for regular season. Two PGs are better, bench is a lot better than last year. Not sure about post season because Ariza is not as good as Artest, but in regular seaon, the greatly improved bench would bring at least the same number of wins as last season, and likely more.
well, if i remember correctly, Morey mentioned that yao is worth 8-10 wins himself. so i will stick to the master of statistics, since his numbers are more dependable.
