How many games will the Rockets win this season?

[Pelicans78]

C - Brad Miller, Emeka Okafor, Jason Collins
PF - Al Jefferson, Etan Thomas, Drew Gooden
SF - Carmelo Anthony, Wally Szczerbiak
SG - Manu Ginobili, Voshon Lenard, Maurice Evans
PG - Damon Stoudamire, Speedy Claxton, Shaun Livingston, Dan Dickau

I'm hoping to at least make it back to the playoffs for the first time since year one. Honestly, it seems like the more I know, the worse I do.

around 40-45. Depends on free agency/training camp. The Midwest division should be a lot less crappy this season.

I want to say 35-40. West will be a brutal playoff race this year. I think next year will be your year. Your team (specifically Manu and Melo) will flourish, and you'll need some time to figure out the rotation between Al Jefferson, Mek, and Brad Miller.

Can't really understand the concept of starting Miller over Okafor.

Depends on what the index shows after training camp. I'm hoping Okafor improves in training camp. His offense will be brutal, especially a F ball handling. I may start him anyway because of his defense, but he will be a big liability offensively.

you shouldn't go solely on index rankings.

You're probably right. But I do worry that Okafor will be a black hole offensively early on. Hopefully not. Miller's a FA after this season anyway, but I think he will be a better player right now overall. We will see.

I ran into this last year with Ostertag and Dalambert. I thought Dalambert was better, but Ostertag was higher on the index. The first few sims I went with Sam, but eventually switched and Ostertag ended up playing much better as the starter.
