    for whatever reason you're really slighting calderon and believe in false attributes for unhealthy harris and far felton..btw that 15 mil was brought up cause you are upset that calderon only makes $7/year when thats great value for someone like him. you even called it ridiculous lol

    If only BSPN was Vegas. This might be the only time I actually bet in my life. Rockets EASILY over 49 wins. They are closer to 4th in the West than 8th.

    Totally agree. All same starters accept Ariza and both Howard and Harden have one year under their belt with each other. If you can remember for the first month or two last season the rockets were inept at throwing a simple lob pass to one another, their unfamiliarity with Howard was so evident. Defensively they should be dramatically improved especially if or when they can get a good defensive coach. And the off season is far from over!!!!!!

    I will have to agree. The same goes for a lot of teams though. Injuries will be the biggest factor in the standings.

    Other than Spurs/Thunder, I expect parity to create some awesome games in the West this year.

    yeah....i mean, how can CP3 get paid so much. Calderon isn't much a drop off. :rolleyes:

    Please look up his stats and defensive rating before you comment, again. 2012er. You must also think Lin's 8.3mil/year was a bargain.

    This. Let's just say if you looked at some sports books right now, they look very different than these projections.

    I asked you to look up Calderon's stats before you comment. Obviously you didn't. No point wasting time with a 16 year old. My fault.

    Let the national media underrate the rockets. I cant wait for this team to prove all the haters wrong. If this team is healthy we will finish no lower than the 5 spot. This team will be better on the defensive side of the ball and Harden & Howard now have a year of chemistry under their belts.

    I see the Rox winning at least 50 games. Why not? Let's run through the list:
    -replaced Parsons with Ariza - wash
    -lost Lin - addition by subtraction
    -lost Asik - got the NO pick for a guy who didn't want to be on the team
    -added Dorsey & Papanikalou - should be good to watch these guys
    -Dmo is looking ready
    -TJ enters his 3rd season...

    Look I just don't get where all the gloom is coming from. Is it because Chandler dumped you? Are you that butthurt?

    All I have for you doubters is this: H2
