New year/new guesses

I agree as of right now.

However, when motivated, I would take Dwill over CP3.

I expect him to have a HUGE year with his supporting cast. I think he will lead the NBA in assists, too.

Too bad we couldn't get him here to play with his homie Dwight.

I'd trade Lin/Omer/fillers for him at this point.

 

Here's my bold prediction:

West

1. Houston
2. OKC
3. LA Clippers
4. San Antonio
5. Golden State
6. Memphis
7. Minnesota
8. LA Lakers

Rockets' road to the Finals: Rockets over LAL 4-1, over SA 4-1, over OKC 4-0
Finals: Rockets over Heat in 7

Bam.

 

The real question is: do you think Dwight will be the same player as pre-injury Dwight from Orlando?

 

Now that is bold, but not as bold as THIS. But seriously, you have us just breezing through the West?

 

Wow, that is a bold prediction. WTF, I like that! Let's celebrate now:



Rockets! Let's go, Rockets!

 

i just hope Harden/Howard etc remain injury free

last yr we were about as healthy as any team in the entire league and we barely made the playoffs.

Chris Paul is rolling on the floor laughing at that errant statement.

 

I would definitely take Houston over IF we see the Dwight Howard from 2008=2009 season. If we see that Dwight Howard and 110% healthy; we're on our way for a dynasty!
