    Just curious about what everyone is thinking...

    I am thinking 36-38, which translates to 45-47 in an 82 game schedule.

    seeing how strong the west and our conference is I dont imagine winning much, maybe just settle in our new staff and players. I say 25 of the 66

    I was just thinking that I really want Clutch to write his annual Over/Under prediction thread.

    With our current roster, on a 82 game schedule I would have said around 49, which translates to about 39 wins in a 66 game schedule. However, it is not as easy as that, since with a 66 game schedule we will be playing tougher western opponents a disproportionate amount of games. Being in the toughest division in the league doesn't help either. All in all I would guess around 36. I know the over and under came out a few days before Christmas and had the Rockets at 32.5. Took the over.

    EDIT:

    This is with the team as is. If any of Lowry, Patterson, Morris, Williams, even Hill, take a major step forward, we could push a few games more.

    I think this is a Carl Herrera trap to see how many tankers are willing to predict that we can and will tank. Note that the poll is Public.

    Remember the season has just begun. Morey is a master GM and I wouldn't be shocked if he made a game changing move.
    Mark my words by the end of the season, the Rockets will be the last team standing.

    Around 26, a new coach will hurt any chemistry we had coming into this season, you can expect Lowry's numbers to go up and wins to go down...percentage wise.

    28-30. It's hard to see this team as constructed winning a lot of games. It really is a mess. I like McHale's philosophies. but he does not have anywhere close to the personnel to execute it.

    With an upcoming trade for Okafor, we'll win 42 :).


    If I'm honest, I think we'll be the 7th seed. One thing that we have going for us is youth at most positions. Other teams, with older players, are going to get tired.

    Of course the playoffs, the question is can we win the championship.

    I'm not going to post my opinion until after the Spurs game. Yeah, I'm not ready to hang myself yet. ;-)-
