I know, I know, another goddamned thread about the Rockets next year. Well, you know what? I don't care, I see new members making dumbass threads all the time and it gets me cheesed... so I figured I would add to that. Right now, I can't stop thinking about the Rockets... EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. A clear indication of how busy my life is. Here are my stat predictions for the upcoming season. James Harden PPG-25 RPG-4 APG-6 Dwight Howard PPG-21 RPG-13 APG-2 Chandler Parsons PPG-14 RPG-6 APG-3 Jeremy Lin PPG-12 RPG-3 APG-8 Omer Asik PPG-4 RPG-6 APG-1 Francisco Garcia PPG-11 RPG-3 APG-2 I feel bad for Asik as his numbers will revert back to his Chicago days. His rebounds will be higher than he averaged in Chicago as a back up though but low compared to last years numbers. Garcia will be the 1st player off the bench the way Delfino became the number one option later in the season. He will bring in around the same production as Delfino, but come in low on funny faces per game. Dwight's numbers will increase all-round compared to last year. I almost feel like he will increase his assists to possibly 3, as I think like they'll try to aim for an inside-out game but he is a pretty mediocre passer. Lin will average about the same, his assists will increase however. He'll take what he learned last year and become a better passer, and he'll have Dwight on the inside to give the ball to. Everyone else's numbers will stay about the same. It's hard for me to imagine James putting up better numbers than he did last year, if he does then were talking legit MVP considerations. There you go. Those are my predictions for next year, tell me if you agree or think my thread starting privileges should be taken away. Be wellz!
