Houston Rockets

Record Prediction: 45-37

If nothing else, this team is going to be a joy to watch. With Mike D’Antoni back in the fold, we should be able to once again see a free and loose James Harden – something that we often failed to see last season.

This team may not have the talent as some of the previous incarnations of themselves, but they still have enough to make some noise in the Western Conference. I have this Rockets team penciled into the 7th seed, and fully expect this team to be one of the highest scoring clubs in the NBA this season.
