How Rockets will be under 0.500 in 2022-23 season?

Anyone hoping for a season anywhere close to .500 from THIS team THIS year is in for a very rude awakening.

 

I am a dreamer. If Rockets are still lottery bound after this season, I am going to stop watching the NBA.

 

There’s nothing to figure out. The rockets will be lucky to even get to 25 wins. It’s that’s simple

 

@Ubiquitin after the Rockets draft Victor next summer:

 

The team is so young that they could score 115 a game, show great improvement individually and defensively, and still lose 2/3 of their games. Experience wins in the Association, a good year will be 27-55 or optimistically 28-54.

 

Bullshit. And bad English.

 

Sorry if I am missing your sarcasm.... but wow.


If the Rockets are anywhere near. 500 it is a massive overachieving and cause for serious celebration because everything has come up trumps.

You win games in the NBA by having vets and at least one player who is really quite good (all star level).

We have no vets and no all stars. Unfortunately people have overly high expectations of our 20ish year olds...

 

Even if you think this team is as good as the KD-Westbrook-Harden thunder, we’re still a year off from ending the season over .500.

KD and Russ were 21, Harden was 20 (rookie season) when the thunder made the 8 seed.

In comparison, this is Jalen Greens age 20 season, and Jabari Smith’s age 19 season.

 

God I hope so.

 

Silly that you even have to ask but I will tell you anyways.
Stephen Silas.

 

60.
Why?
Foul trouble and rookie inexperience +/- sore thigh/quad/shoulder/wrist

 

Engine breaking is a driving term, not sure what it means in this context.

I agree with you this team has a lot of talent and I am super excited for the season to start. I think Stone has done a great job as GM overall. I just don't think Silas is a good enough coach to get a super fresh team to above 500. He has one year left on his contract and I am assuming he will get the entire year to prove us wrong, hopefully he does.

 

You probably sleep with him, which explains why you got so emotional and defended his honor like this.

 

Will the Rockets and Texans win percentages combined be higher than the Astros this year?

Vegas has Rockets at .299 and the Texans at .265, totalling .564. The Astros are currently at .647 but another 4-5 Rocket wins or 2 Texan wins should put them over.

 

bad rotations and another bad player or two added to our roster with wcs

send the kids to rgv

play wcs tate nwaba and kj together

wcs and tate in crunch time

encourage kpjr to ballhog

help wcs broaden out his game by getting him to shoot 3's...clank

have garrison defend at the point..

going to be easy to lose 55+

 

Defense wins games, in the NBA everybody can score. Defense has to be learned year after year. Vets are generally better team defenders even if they aren't strong iso defenders. They are usually in the correct position, know what the other teams/players want to do on offense and how to help take it away. I agree the young guys will improve on offense some and even on defense some but this is a very young team. The experienced teams will find ways to get stops down in the 4th quarter and close out games. The young guys will struggle most nights and that's fine they'll learn and get better. The Rockets most likely get a top 4 pick again. Next year this team should be ready to talk about a winning season and not have us experienced NBA followers roll our eyes at big talk about winning.

 

just dont see it, i dunno what basketball you are watching but this high level exciting stuff, make the playin for sure, hell why not second round and make people like you realize the bad decision they have made in their lives
