Projected Season W-L Record

Hakeem06 · Dec 23, 2005

to tell you all the truth...i have no freakin' clue. with all the injuries and the fact that we can look good for about a week, go 5-1 on a road trip then come home and lose by 13 to the raptors, i have no clue. we could win 30 or 45, it's really that open.

but due to everyone off injury and the team meshing together, makes it to the western conference finals. the rest is history

A record with 35-45 wins would probably be the worse case scenario.

I'm hoping the Rockets go either the Astros route or the Texans route, but nothing in between. A 45 win season where we get knocked out in the first would suck.

I'd gladly take an 8th seed finish right now. I still believe that this team can beat anybody if we go into the playoffs healthy.

The real worse case scenario would be for us to get into a huge hole and make a huge rally, only to barely miss the playoffs. That would be very disappointing, to get a low lottery pick instead of either a high draft pick or the playoffs.

after watching tonight's mess... i say we get about 35 wins. we can't win a single with all these guys out right now.

I wanted to see what our chances of making the playoffs were, so I made a guess on what our season record might be. I made the following assumptions.

-Yao returns on Feb 27th
-No more significant injuries

Our current record is 10-14. We have about 32 games before Yao is predicted to return. If we beat the bad teams, our record could reasonably be 15-17. From February 27th to the end of the season we have 26 games. If we beat all but serious playoff teams, we could go 18-8 over that time.

That would leave us with a season record of 43-39 (52.4%). Last year Memphis was the eighth seed with a record of 45-37 (54.8%) and the combined win loss record of the West playoff teams was 426-230 (64.9%). Currently the eighth seed has a record of 14-12 (53.8%) and the top eight teams have a combined win loss record of 124-74 (62.6%).

If things continue on the same path, and the lower seeds are a little weaker in the West than they were last year, I think we could be fighting for an eighth seed this year..... BUT, it will most likely be for a series with San Antonio, which would be as difficult a matchup as we could possibly draw.

I was looking back at this thread I started... the Rockets did worse without Yao than I expected, but Yao came back earlier than expected. As a result:

Predicted record through Feb 27th: 25-32
Actual record through Feb 27th: 25-32

Let's see how the rest goes. I predicted we would finish 18-8, and so far we are 1-2 since Feb 27th. That means we will have to finish 17-6 this year to make it, which is possible. If I were to make the prediction today, I would guess 15-8.... but close enough... I'll stick with the original to be optimistic.

As mentioned above.... a season record of 43-39 (52.4%) would get us the 8th seed if no ones winning percetages changed. I think the best the Lakers could finish the season is with 15 more wins for a 45-37 record. I think the best Sacramento could do is 43-39.

It could be close, but the only way the Rockets can really have a good chance is to get better and start beating some serious playoff teams in the West.... which is completely possible. I just wouldn't put money on it.

Van Gundy must be riding these guys because he is looking at an end-of-season traffic jam for the 8th seed.
