For those of you saying the Rockets will be over 56 wins (I really hope you're right) ... what are you smoking??? Is there any reason to believe we'll even break 50 win let alone 40 wins based on our play? Is it more of a wish than a prediction??
To win 56 games we need to go 45 and 15 from this point on- alot to expect from a team almost going down the drain. To win 41 games we need to go 30 and 30 which is what we are doing at present.
And if you take the post JVG effect Rockets and discount the 6-1 start, we're 5-10. At that rate, we'd be 31-51. But don't worry, we're still learning the offense.
Heck, Clutch... covered yourself pretty good with the wins and losses! A lot of us are doomed to have egg on our faces, unless we suddenly start seeing some 8 and 10 game winning streaks. Right now, it looks a bit unlikely.
My bad. I had thought the level of irrational optimism had surpassed the level of irrational pessimism!
A thread that would be funny to see is the one where posters only predicted our win total. Most where in the 60+ range...
1. The Rockets will win 56 games this season. Under2. Tracy McGrady will average 25 points this season. Over 3. Tracy McGrady will average 6 assists this season. Over 4. Yao Ming will average [over/under] 25 points this season. Under 5. Yao Ming will average [over/under] 10 rebounds this season. Over 6. Luis Scola will play 30 minutes per game this season. Under 7. Rafer Alston will shoot 40% from the field this season. Over 8. Mike James will play 25 minutes per game this season. Over 9. Steve Francis will play 25 minutes per game this season. Under 10. Bonzi Wells will play 25 minutes per game this season. Over
Bump. Seasons not quite over, but I think a lot of us were wrong. Two of those prop questions are no longer on the team. I don't think Steve Francis played in 25 games, much less minutes.
