Assuming the following events become reality, how good do you think the Rockets will be this year? - Hakeem comes back for two years and gives us about 12pts,8rebs,2blks while playing around 60 games - Cato comes back determined and leads the league in rebounding! Okay maybe not, but he gives us something like 8pts, 8rebs, and 2blks. - Griffin gives us around 12 pts, 7 rebs, and 1.5 blks. - Maurice gives us what he gave last year. - Shandon is back and plays a little better then last year. - Mobes, Stevie and Moochie are get a tad bit better. If all of these scenarios happen, how good do you all think the Rockets can be? I think they would win around 52 games and just might make the second round of the playoffs. ------------------
What you described is the best-case scenario in my mind: we improve everywhere. 52 wins easy. Maybe 55 or 56. But I have a tendency to doubt any scenario that is all good and no bad. Therefore I'd agree with your 52, since that's what I've got $ on anyway... ------------------
I dont think my scenario is that far fetched. I am not giving Eddie Griffin ROY numbers, I am not saying tha Hakeem is going to give us 15 and 10. I am definitely not saying that Cato will kick ass! I didnt even take into account what Langhi, Terrence, Collier and Kenny are going to give us. If even two of them have a semi decent year it will be like icing on the cake. I think my scenario is ideal and I really think the Rockets are going to win around 52 games unless something unexpected happens. ------------------
42 games, no playoffs. Steve misses the entire year because of a busted ankle. I still say that last year's team should have won 54 games, so I'll go for 55 this year. ------------------ Protrolls.com! Keep the ???? alive!
Like I said, my $ is on 52. It really is... Your scenario isn't even unthinkable. It's even remotely possible. I will gladly give up the bucks to get those xtra wins that I think your scenario would actually bring (55-56). I just never hope for miracles as a general rule. ------------------
