    The entire team from Lowry on down is going to be better. 40-26.

    I'm sure you meant from Lowry on UP. He is the shortest after all, amirite? :)

    65-1. We bench our starters for the final game so they can rest going into playoffs.

    Not going to predict things specifically until I see the opening day roster.

    Even with no changes we could be an improved team. The whole Brooks situation was crippling the team last year. After Brooks was traded, the team went 15-8 the rest of the way. I don't think we can hope for them to be THAT good (that's a 53-29 pace), but I think .500 is the baseline and we'll go up from there depending on who we plug in at center.

    All I know is that Lowry will make the all star team this year.

    I predict 16 PPG, 9.5 APG, and 1.5 rebounds per game.

    It depends on the culture Kevin McHale brings. If he can bring some defense and the Rockets offense stays where it was at I can see us being like last years Nuggets. A 4th/5th seed.

    That's best case scenario (assuming no MAJOR trade/acquisition)


    If no injuries happen then worst case we're still a 500 team IMO.

    That would be amazing, if they run the same system it is not likely, especially in the assist numbers, but if they run, or let him control the ball, it could happen.

    Chuck Hayes will average a triple double, and the Rockets will win all 66 games.

    Personally, I would rather them rebuild. Let's play these young guys and see what they can do. Let's not just tread water...

    Either way, decisions need to be made, and I'll stand by whatever they decide.

    depends on the schedule they trot out for us :)

    also depends on the roster we end up with when the season starts

    I think they are going to hit the floor running.

    Im not that optimistic and im okay with it!

    I am NOT advocating tanking. But I really think we can get a superstar in this draft Barnes, Drummand, Lamb, Perry Jones, maybe even Austin Rivers (unless he has to stay another year)

    This years draft is as stacked as i have seen since 03

    why would the defense improve if they have the same roster, yet they lose a HOF coach?
