    It would be cool if you could actually make bets on these over/unders.

    the easy one is will the rockets win over 58 games, i mean if they stay healthy, you gotta take the over on that one.

    the rockets will have over 2.5 players score over 18.5 points and will tracy mcgrady play over or under 60.5 games...these are some really good one's clutch.

    These are what I honestly think, with Yao playing further out he will be taking more jumpers, lower fg percentage so he might not shoot 51%, the Artest/Battier starts is dumb, it's unpredictable at this point, and it doesn't really matter I think. Rafer will shoot terribly all year, but he will light up towards the end of the season, he also will hit timely 3s when we are struggling to score, trust. Landry won't get too many isos like Scola, so he wont score as much I don't think. I think Francis will make a return, whether he is the Stevie of Old, or the one we fear has taken his place, only time will tell, but I think we can count on him to play in a few games at the very least, might as well if we're paying him. 58 games is alot to win with such a powerful conference and a growing eastern conference threat, but who knows.

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

    CRAP -- it just dawned on me I never posted my guesses, and I wanted to. Anyhow, we're 3 games in, so my answers are tainted, but I want to put down what I was initially thinking when I posted the questions:

    1. The Rockets will win UNDER 58.5 games this season (I'm saying 58).
    2. The Rockets will have UNDER 2.5 players score 18 points a game or more this season.
    3. Tracy McGrady will play OVER 60.5 games this season.
    4. Yao Ming will shoot UNDER 51% from the field this season.
    5. Yao Ming will average OVER 10 rebounds this season.
    6. Steve Francis will play UNDER 0.5 games for the Rockets this season.
    7. The number of games Ron Artest starts will be UNDER the number of games Shane Battier starts this season. (I want to say "over" now, but keeping it to what I thought before)
    8. Luis Scola's scoring average will be OVER Carl Landry's scoring average this season.
    9. Aaron Brooks' minutes per game will be OVER Luther Head's minutes per game this season.
    10. Old Reliable: Rafer Alston will shoot UNDER 40% from the field this season.

    Pretty confident about the first few, not so much with the last ones.

    This was the trap question. If you took under, you're 1/10 of the way to perfection :)

    Thought it'd be interesting to revisit this thread now that we've hit the All-Star break.

    So far I look to be right for sure on 7/10 and have a decent chance of 8 or 9. I could get all 10, but that would require Tracy to play all but about 4 of the remaining games, which is looking next to impossible at the moment.

    How about everyone else?

    Well, here we are at the end of the season. How'd you fare?

    I was correct on 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9 for 7/10.
