    50+. based on winning percentage this year without.

    Yao Theory is a factor though.

    I say 60+ according to some guys analysis that Rockets would be a better team without YAO. That said, we have won 50+ this season with Yao for half of the games, so without Yao for a complete season, I would definitely expect 60+ winning season, cause we are better team without him.

    Hypothetical "what if?" scenarios are one of the foundations of sports talk.

    Easy, we won't win as much game if Yao ming was here.

    I hope Adelman could take effective use of the inside outside thread. It hasn't been exploited enough yet. But again, Yao ming could hit consistently a foot in front of the 3 point line. I don't see why we can't develop a 3 point shooting ability for him.

    A 7-5 guy shooting 3s. Can't even guard him.

    My question: what do you think the chance of Rockets winning the title with some other western rivals having Yao on their team? e.g. Lakers most likely?
