    Vicious questions Clutch. I like it.

    1. The Rockets will win [over] 49.5 games this season.
    2. Yao Ming will play in [over] 55.5 games this regular season.
    3. Yao Ming will play more than 24 minutes in a game in [over] 3.5 games this regular season.
    4. Kevin Martin will average [under] 21.5 points per game this season.
    5. The Rockets will rank [over] 12.5 overall in the league in defensive FG%. --> ("under" means you think the Rockets will rank better defensively)
    6. The number of minutes Kyle Lowry plays on average will be [over] the number of minutes Courtney Lee plays on average.
    7. The number of minutes Shane Battier plays on average will be [over] the number of minutes Chase Budinger plays on average.
    8. Luis Scola's rebounding average will be [under] 9.0 this season.
    9. Jordan Hill will play [over] 0.5 games for the Rockets after the NBA trade deadline.
    10. Aaron Brooks will play [over] 0.5 games for the Rockets after the NBA trade deadline.

    Starting with 5. I don't see the Rockets being more than barely above average. And this ties in with 6. What is up with the Courtney Lee love around here? I like the guy, but if he plays more minutes than Kyle, Morey made a huge blunder in signing Lowry. Are we betting on injury here?

    And 7. Well, I think Shane's pretty much done (& expiring contract), but I don't see Chase getting more minutes. It's a depressing subject to me.

    9. & 10. It depends on the deal, but I think Morey might balk on Carmelo, and I don't think CP3 has any leverage with his contract.

    I do feel good about the team though. Let's rock.

    1. The Rockets will win [over] 49.5 games this season.

    I think the Rockets will have a very good season, and another interesting trade deadline.

    2. Yao Ming will play in [over] 55.5 games this regular season.

    They're being so conservative with Yao, I don't see why he won't see action in all of his "expected" games.

    3. Yao Ming will play more than 24 minutes in a game in [over] 3.5 games this regular season.

    Especially later in the season, you have to think there will be a couple of close ones that Yao will beg his way back onto the floor.

    4. Kevin Martin will average [under] 21.5 points per game this season.

    Maybe. But this team has a lot of weapons and relatively balanced offensively. I don't see KMart as a true goto weapon.

    5. The Rockets will rank [over] 12.5 overall in the league in defensive FG%. <I>--> ("under" means you think the Rockets will rank better defensively)</I>

    Not sold on the Rockets defense. At all.

    6. The number of minutes Kyle Lowry plays on average will be [over] the number of minutes Courtney Lee plays on average.

    Tough call, but taking the over for now. Especially if AB gets dealt.

    7. The number of minutes Shane Battier plays on average will be [over] the number of minutes Chase Budinger plays on average.

    It's always fun to see the younger guys get time, but conventional wisdom always seems to favor the proven veteran.

    8. Luis Scola's rebounding average will be [under] 9.0 this season.

    For some reason, I'm just not sold on Luis rebounding ability, especially with Yao clogging up the lane again.

    9. Jordan Hill will play [under] 0.5 games for the Rockets after the NBA trade deadline.

    Destined to be dealt.

    10. Aaron Brooks will play [under] 0.5 games for the Rockets after the NBA trade deadline.

    I definitely think AB will be dealt before the deadline. He's just a great, great value trade. He's going to get paid, which will diminish his value tremendously, and Morey knows this.
