    I will go 49-60...

    With Yao Ming going stronger now and JVG's intense defence, we could win 10 more games than last season....

    36-48 for sure. In a few years we'll be higher, but not this year in my opinion.

    4.


    screw it if i'm wrong. i'd rather be optimistic, and i'm genuinely excited about this team. last year what i thought we lacked was veteran roleplayers, now they're adding veteran roleplayers that address some of our weaknesses and they're doing it for a bargain. i'm very pleased with griffin and piatkowski. i'd like to see a veteran power forward signed now. i wouldn't mind seeing a veteran point guard like kenny anderson on the team either, but i don't think that'll happen because i don't think they're going to pull another matt maloney and cut moochie and continue to pay him for years.

    I have studied the schedule very carefully, and if everybody stays healthy I don't see why we shouldn't be 82-0. Hey, I've always believed.

    49-60. This team should win 50 games this year. They have the talent and a great defensive coach. Now they just need to find out how much they really want to win. How much are you willing to trust the coach and be a team player to win. Go Rocks!!

    36-48 is such a big gap that 1 person could think that we will have a terrible year and end up in the lotto again, and another person could think that we will be the 6th seed.

    and both would be right for choosing #3.

    i think that we will get 47-50 W's

    40 wins if we're lucky and nobody gets injured.

    REASONS:
    1) Yao won't improve much until he gets a full offseason in Houston
    2) Rice is a year older and will break down again and again
    3) Nachbar after this years summer league has proven to be the biggest bust since B.Drew and the Turkeyman were drafted in the first round
    4) Eddie and MO are POWER FORWARDS?? Talk about an oxymoron
    5) Steve and the Cat will keep this ship afloat for most of the season and get all the blame again for its eventual flop.
    6) The Polish Rifle (Pike) and JVG will make a difference but not enough to right this flip floppin ship

    38 +/- 5. Piatkowski and Griffin (II) are pretty good additions. I'm leaning toward the higher (41-42) end of that range, hoping the new guys might be enough to almost overcome the average head coach and the tallest (and least qualified) of his assistants.
