re: Rumor: Houston Rockets seeing if there is a trade market for Ty Lawson

Let's be honest HOU won 56 games last season with no D12 for half the season plus a myriad of other injuries.

OK? Clearly last season's team is not the same.

Even if the schedule gets tougher on paper that doesn't mean a whole lot.

Well that's just not true. Tougher schedule + more road games = more losses if performance stayed constant.

If one team plays the Lakers and one plays the 6ers does one team really have an advantage over the other? Eben though SOS says so? No both opponents suck.

What are you talking about? If one team is better than the other, then a victory over the better team is going to less likely. That's grade school probability.

When HOU hits they stride it doesn't matter if they're playing a .500 team or a .400 team HOU will be easily better than the opponent so I don't really fret much over SOS.

How can you say this? Right now they are getting OUTSCORED by > 7 points per game, while playing teams with an average record below 0.500 and playing nearly 2/3 of their games at home.

All of a sudden they are going to make up those 7 points, against tougher teams, on the road? And do it easily.

You are beyond delusional in your overconfidence.
