I'm optimistic, but I'm trying to temper my expectations. Based on the roster that's currently been constructed, I'll say 49. That's probably good enough to get the 5th or the 6th seed and to build on the improvement for next offseason's free agency market.
I have to think more moves are to be made still too. With that said, just like before every season, I predict my beloved Rockets will go 82-0. And not matter what moves we may or may not make, I will continue predicting that they will go 82-0 until they lose their first game, at which point I predict they will go 81-1.
Hopefully there are a few more moves to be made, but if this roster is set for next season, I'll go with about 41.
I think after all is said and done with this roster, barring an injury to Harden, they should win between 40 & 53 games. Anything more than that would be gravy. Unlike some folks here, I want to see how they look after 20 or so games before I buy into the hiring of MDA as the head coach.
Hit 56+. We are a pretty good team. Don't think teams will be able to keep up with our scoring other than the Warriors
I will not entertain starting lineup questions, win totals or the like on July 7, 2016 at 1:51 pm. Thank you.
