    I really doubt Francis plays a game. Wouldn't be surprised to see him retire.

    1. The Rockets will win [over] 58.5 games this season (franchise record: 58).
    ----deep bench, more options against other 29 teams.
    2. The Rockets will have [under] 2.5 players score 18 points a game or more this season.
    ----same reasons as above, therefore the scores are more spread among players.
    3. Tracy McGrady will play [over] 60.5 games this season.
    ----We are supposed to go deep into playoffs.
    4. Yao Ming will shoot [over] 51% from the field this season.
    ----scoring should be easier for Yao when the opponents can't double him as often.
    5. Yao Ming will average [under] 10 rebounds this season.
    ----We've got one more good rebounder in Ron.
    6. Steve Francis will play [over] 0.5 games for the Rockets this season.
    ----If he wants to contribute something before he receives a ring, he'd better try to get his b***s off the bench.
    7. The number of games Ron Artest starts will be [under] the number of games Shane Battier starts this season.
    ----Scoring is more balanced over game time if Artest can play off the bench and look for his own shots more often.
    8. Luis Scola's scoring average will be [over] Carl Landry's scoring average this season.
    ----Not so sure about this one. Carl is getting so much better at mid-range shooting.
    9. Aaron Brooks' minutes per game will be [over] Luther Head's minutes per game this season.
    ----I doubt Head would get many minutes off the SG position. Or, will he even be on the Rockets roster after trading deadline?
    10. Old Reliable: Rafer Alston will shoot [over] 40% from the field this season.
    ----Since the Rockets have more firing power, Rafer can/should be more selective on his shots.

    Can't believe it -- verything is just perfect. Now, Let the season begin! :D :D
