Don't you guys see what king speed is wanting? He doesn't want them to be in the thick of the wiggins sweepstakes. His odd logic wants them to win just enough games to miss the playoffs and have the shittiest chance to win the draft lotto. Problem is they will be about 6-8th worst team in the league.
I think this season has the chance to go a number of different directions. I could see us having over 50 wins pretty easily, the west is not top heavy. We could even approach 60 wins like Denver did last year when they got hot. I could also see an injury or a trade or selfish play easily leading us to 50 losses. I don't ever remember a season that has this much potential to be great or horrible. Could make for a very entertaining year!
You'll see. This is the first time he's had a good coach. We started 5-1 and 7-2 that year and Barkley said we were best in West Rockets are garbage. You can quote me. exactly.
I think Dave most in the national media, and a few posters here assume that we will be a horrible defensive team again. I OTOH, think we will be... a very good defensive team, a very, very good rebounding team, and an excellent offensive team. If we are indeed all these things we will be much, much better than a .500 team.
