Re: Houston Rockets are going to the finals, you can put money on it.
The Rockets already won 51 games last season. After T-Mac and Yao meshed, they went 27-10, which translates to 60 wins in a full season. They had separate 6-game, 7-game, and 8-game undefeated win-streaks. 53.5 wins for the season is a tough, tough line, either way.
The reason there is so much room for disagreement in this thread (after agreeing that the OP's comments are crazy), is that the West is wide open after San Antonio. Houston could easily be the 2nd best or the 6th best team. Houston, Dallas, Denver, Phoenix, and Sac are all strong teams. It will be an interesting season to watch which of those seize the lead.
