It wont be that bad. Maybe 7-13 at the worst. Maybe 8-12 is about right to me. Not quite a 500 team but not really bad.
To all those who are panicked out there. Before our miraculous 22 game winning streak, the rockets of 07-08 also were mediocre. In fact, at the end of December, they were 15-16, and I believe out of the playoff picture. We all know what happend next, and the rockets went on to surprise many and made the playoffs. We have a talented team, with new faces and new schemes, so give it some time. When it finally does click, the satisfaction will be even greater.
Yes. Health. That's is the only thing holding us down. We haven got a fully healthy rotation all year. We been force to change the rotation almost every single day. Brad Miller and Lowry health problem at preseason limited the time to practice. Yao playing limited minutes, no back to back, then out. Not playing Hill at the beginning. When Brook was healthy, Lowry wasn't. Brook when down. Chase went down. WE NEED A FULLY HEALTHY AT LEAST FOR A MONTH TO GEL A YOU WILL SEE THE FULLY POTENTIAL OF THIS TEAM. We proof that with a semi healthy team we can compete with the hottest team right now. We just need to keep the record manageable while we get this team healthy.
