I am not making predictions. This team is too up and down. But I am HOPING they get to 50 wins and at minimum the 4th seed. Getting the 3rd seed would be a dream but I don't see that happening. I want the Rockets to get as far in the playoffs as possible if they don't end up winning it all. I want Harden to have a chance at the MVP at the end of the season so his scoring steak needs to continue and they need a top 4 seed and 50 wins.
My intuitions are that the leading teams in the conferences will be hit with the injury bug. The Rockets already recovering from the injury bug will become stronger and will move up to 3-4th place in the Western Conference. The playoffs will start off with weakened leading teams and like the 1995 Rockets, the 2019 Rockets will surge in the Playoffs because they will all be clicking strongly as a team. It will surprise many when the Rockets make the Finals...after that it is in the Rocket's hands to win it. Hopefully they will. And I guarantee the media will say we won't win all through the playoffs...they always do. Hence, Coach T's famous saying, "Never underestimate the heart of a Champion!". Sadly, I think Harden will lose the 2019 MVP...but possibly pick up a Finals MVP. I also think Harden's 30 pts a game streak will end around 35 games. GMO. Let's see how much of this comes true.
100 bucks rockets getting the 3rd seed. People forget how good clint cp3 harden are together. N the injuries were a blessing cause austin friad n house have been really good. I also predict with this break tuck gets his legs back...shump lightens his load. I actually think I surrounding team is almost as good as last year like really really close. Call me crazy. But I've always thought the rockets arent built to win without the core 3 together. They have to be there. Then everybody else roles become defined n better
25-0, sweep the playoffs since everyone here tells me we never lose when Clint, Cp3 and Harden share the floor
Will not win 50 wins. Lose in first round of playoffs. 4 players on Rockets team now, will end up working at Landrys and Golden Nugget. The Golden Nugget, and Landry's close down in 2022 with Rockets winning Championship in 2023 because Rockets have Matress Mac as the Rockets new owner..
