    61-21, no matter what the final product looks like. Just call me Homer.

    Assuming we do keep Fream & Mo-T. We do have a great nucleus but we are still young and learning how to win. 6th seed in the west.

    Need to look at the other Western teams also when making predictions about Rocks' record next year:

    DOWN: Kings (w/o CWebb, #4), Blazers (#8), Jazz (#6), Suns, T-Wolves

    UP: Rockets(51-31 #5), Mavs (#3), Clips (#7), Lakers (#1)

    NEUTRAL: Spurs (#2)

    CONCLUSION: Rocks and Clips (!!) make the playoffs, T-Wolves and Suns drop out. Lakers win 65 games and three-peat.

    50-32, barring any major injuries, with Mo, Dream, and Mooch re-signed.

    Anything under 50 wins this next season is a step backwards!!!

    And anything over 50 wins is just pure gravy!

    I think the Rockets should have a 52-30 record next year.

    We all need to remember that the best the Rockets have ever done is 57 wins (I think) when we won like 23 out of 25 to start the season. Hakeem was the MVP that year and we had great chemistry too.

    Until the Rockets get more experience, they will occasionally lose games that they shouldn't.

    The two factors I think that will have make the greatest difference from last season are 1) whether or not we resign Dream, and 2) how much of an impact will EG have.

    Best case: we resign Dream, and EG has an immediate impact. Record 57-25, 3rd-4th seed.

    Worst case: Dream leaves (replaced by mediocre center), and EG has only minor impact. 44-38, no playoffs (well, maybe #8, since so many other Western teams are slipping).

    That's a pretty wide range, but I'd tend to agree with the 52-30 prediction - somewhere in between. It sounds like a good bet... But alot can happen.

    It was 58 wins in 93-94. We won the first 15 games of the season and went 22-1 for the first 23 games. We started choking though at the end and ended up only with 58 wins, but at least we won the championship. We should have won 65 games that year.

    I'm sorry, but the Kings would not be the fourth seed if they lost Webber. They probably wouldn't even make the playoffs.

    Wow, I now see what BGM was talking about.

    You are definitely fooling yourselves if you're even thinking about more than 51 wins.

    Sure we will probably be a better team than last year. But unless Eddie juste bursts on to the scene and plays well(ALA Francis)We wont improve more than 5-6 games.

    Sooner, I don't care if we sign Webber, Davis, and all our free agents, no way in hell we break the Bull's record of wins.

    48-34. This is still a very young team, in a very talented conference. Reality says anywhere from 48-50 wins next year is an improvement.

    Assuming we resign Dream. Mo and Mooch.

    49-33.

    I have seen much of the rest of the web. It is brutal and cruel and dark. CC.net is the light.

    44-38 - 55-27 some where in that range
    at best 5th seed at worse out of the playoffs
    griffen will not be a big factor this year
    in best case or worse case but could be vary big later on or could be a bust with all rookies you never know until they play the first season

    If the kings lose webber and don't replace him they will win less then 30 games next season

    I agree with vj. Don't expect to see more than 51 wins, at the MOST. We'll still be getting used to having Griff in the system, and it will take a while to get us started.

    I say a spark at the end of this season, and 56 wins next season (02-03).

    50-32 has been my guess, too.

    I think there's going to be some diminishing returns since the West is so deep. In the East, that team could win 54-56.
