OK fellas, I feel that when stevie comes back, the rockets will start getting hot about 1-2 weeks later. The reason is that they will need some time to get the chemistry going and have a set rotation that includes torres and griffin. After that, assuming they stay injury free, I feel the Rockets will start playing very well. I predict a 44-38 record and a number 8 seed in the playoffs.
I think we may squeak in there 'cause the west doesn't seem quite as competitive 1-8 seeds as it was last year. We'll see, though.
We'll have to start kicking @$$ a la two seasons ago for that to happen. Maybe Glen Rice will pull a Hakeem and start shooting lights out like Walt did.
