    Comparable to
    Lakers
    Clippers
    Warriors
    Nuggets
    Jazz
    Blazers
    Mavs

    I think it’s reasonable assumptions.
    Tilman doesn’t pay luxury tax and doesn’t trade Westbrook.

    “Slow dead”

    2021 conference finals, my confidence on Harden Is 2 more years
    2022 second round exit
    2023 first round exit
    2024 40 wins
    2025. 35 wins
    2026. 30 wins
    2027. 25 wins
    2028. 20 wins

    Lots of draft picks from the draft pick fairy.

    8th seed. Harden/Westbrook will just care about stat padding which means no defense and jacking up shots.

    The rockets will be a bottom seed next year if they make the playoffs. There's clearly a good number of teams that are just plain better at this point and the return of GS makes one less spot up for grabs

    This is the most difficult
    I think it will be 3-4 seed and then 2nd round exit.

    I really dont care.

    The time to spend was the prior 3 seasons when we actually were legit contenders.

    That's over now, no matter how much he spends.

    Tilman can't afford his payroll how TF can he afford the LT? I just realized that Tilman Fetitta and TF (tha ****) means the same thing.

    We are doomed. I believe in Harden but if they all feel like Tillman is a douche, then they will all ask to be traded. We're destined to be the worst team in the NBA. Get ready to be the punching bag of the NBA!

    I hope we do well, but there's a bit of gloom about next season. Save us Silas.

    I don't even think it matters if the rockets spend deep into the tax or not, this is just not a championship team. I said it when the trade was made, I still don't believe any team with Russell Westbrook on it can win a championship.

    As long as we get in, it doesn't matter where. By the way is this still a Rockets fan site? I don't think I've seen this level of hate for a non lottery team. I think you guys will be pleasantly surprised next season. At least Silas can do no worse than MDA. He will at least play a center.

    Lakers showed the blueprint to beat us dare Russ to shoot from distance and double Harden to get the ball out of his hands. They took the 3 ball away from us and we didn't know what to do. I am hoping the new regime will be more versatile and be able to adjust when defenses do that to us.

    Prob about the same as last year, mid-40 wins and first or *maybe* quick second round exit.
