Here we go again! OK, this time to be different...49-33. 6th seed once again. ------------------ Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, but it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and pimp-slap the mother****** upside the head!
The last guy to start a thread like this offered cash $$ for the closest prediction. You shelling out dough for these picks, SRS, or do you expect us to give them for free? ------------------
I have a feeling that the Rockets are going to start the season off slow while everyone is trying to adjust with Langhi, Collier, and Mo. After beginning our first month sort of slow, from there on out we will pick up our play and at the end of the season we will be fighting for an 8th seed with Sacramento with a 47-35 record. We will face the Blazers in the first round and nearly pull an upset, but lose in 5.
49 - 33 Sixth seed. We will be the team that NO ONE will want to play in the playoffs. Too much runnin & gunnin, too much unpredictability. We will scare any team, including the Fakers and the Tailblazer. Cato and Dream are the X-Factor, everyone else will perform. Including Wiz, period. Mark these words. ------------------ "...Do you hear 'em? They're everywhere!!! AAAHHH!!!" That's what the other teams will be saying after being shellshocked by Steve Francis and Co.
I'm hopin' for about 54 and 28 . . . although it's probably gonna be around 48 and 34 or so. Playoffs, here we come! ------------------
I say 44-38....we WILL make te playoffs as the eigth seeed.....If we play the Lakers, an upset may be possible....But Portland, no way.....even then, i don't think portland can beat the lakers.... ------------------
58-24 and we make it to Western Coference finals beating Phoenix and Portland, where we will play the Lakers. ------------------
42 - 39 I would say they could be as good as 48 - 34 or as bad as 40 - 42. ------------------ Save Our Rockets and Comets SaveOurRockets.com
Timing, how do you get that record in an 82 game season? ------------------ All you MO-FO's better stop ripping off my lines !!
The same way that Jeff got his 42-39. I'll never tell!! ------------------ "Somebody DO something out there." -Bill Walton
44-38 We are the 8th seed We play Portland We upset Portland in 5 We play San Antonio We upset San Antonio in 6 We play Los Angeles We upset L.A. in 7 because of a halfcourt hail mary by steve francis We play Miami in the finals We win in 5 We finally get props and win our first title that isn't proclaimed a "fluke" We all laugh at Bill Walton's expessionless face Mission accomplished. ------------------ The best is yet to come. Go Rockets!
42-40 I'm happy with a >.500 record. 50+ wins to me seems doubtful. It may be possible, though, if Dream is healthy all season and Cato plays well. ------------------
