    By "major trade," I mean the Dwight Howard kind of deal. Just curious about what people think would happen if the Rockets go into the season with their current roster (plus a few tweaks, of course). Morey said he thought the team would surprise folks with the # of games it wins, so I want to know how many games folks think HOU will win.


    Poll coming.

    30. But it'll be much more fun to watch than past seasons.

    We would win more than 30 games only if one of the rooks has top 5 potential in the league...

    probably 35-45.

    lin/douglas
    martin/lamb
    parsons/white
    patterson/jones
    asik/d-mo

    that's a solid lineup. those of you who think we'll only win 20-30 games will be disappointed. I can't see us doing terrible.

    Minny only won 40 games last year, and their line up is much better than ours...

    Forgive me for drinking the rocket red Kool Aid but I think Lamb is going to take the NBA by storm and help lead us to a good season. Very good season. 50-32.

    Minny would win more than 40 if half of their team were not injuried.

    50 is too much. Haha.

    0.500 record is achievable for sure.

    sorry i mean 26... Yep they had a lot of injuries but still. well we were at .515 last year.... I don't think our current roster is close to where we had last year.

    Usually a young team will have a lot of highlight plays, but it will often fail to close out the game.

    Well seeing that some predict this team to be bottom 5 of the league then 30 games would be a surprise. I'm going with that.
