I pegged 35 wins for us as well. I think Minny can be a playoff team. I think Pheonix can do a lot better than what they were pegged as well.
Draft lottery order according to these projections: 1-Bobcats 2-Magic 3-Kings 4-Suns/Pistons 5-Suns/Pistons 6-Hornets/Wizards 7-Hornets/Wizards 8-Raptors 9-Houston/Cavs 10-Houston/Cavs 11-T'Blazers 12-Bucks 13-Warriors 14-Wolves
with our horrible bench we will be lucky to get 30 wins. We traded our best 3pt shooters so we dont have the luxury of the "drive and kick" game that line is used to from the knicks playbook. I hope i am wrong but if martin, lin an patterson dont play though everynight we will stink
My order: 1 Bobcats of course 2 Wizards 3 Kings 4 Pistons 5 Cavs 6 Hornets 7 Houston 8 Magic 9 Blazers 10 Bucks 11 Warriors 12 Suns 13 Raptors 14 not sure could be any number of teams
I'm surprised the Rockets are rated so highly. Golden State have Curry, Lee and Bogut. They're all talented players, with two of them being All-Star caliber. It's just a question of health. Phoenix lost Nash but added Dragic, Beasley and Scola and they've got Gortat there as well. We've got a glut of PFs and rookies with two relatively unproven players being our cornerstones on offense and defense respectively.
No, we will get either one or the other, switching with the Cav's I think we will be a little worse than these rankings show, We have a completely new and inexperienced team.. a little worse off (not including potential) than we were last year. Saying all that, I'm the most excited i have been for the past few years I know after the season is done, i will be proud to be a Rockets supporter
I actually agree with this as well, except i dont feel the Raptors are that far in their progress yet, Valanciunas (or however its spelt) should suffer some growing pains, i think they are a season away from that standing Also i think the Wizards and Warriors (if Boges can stay healthy) will be higher
