    Default At the quarter season mark, name one thing about your team

    you were wrong about in the preseason, and one thing you were right about.

    Rockets:

    What I got wrong: Thought depth was going to be a problem and that we would get sunk if we got hit with too many injuries. Glad to see I was wrong.

    What I got right: I didn't think we would miss Lin and Parsons that much. Glad to see I was right (Although I did think the loss of Asik was gonna hurt)

    Thought we'd be bottom 5 easily, I stand corrected

    Heat:

    wrong: expected more than a 10 game spurt in "showing their worth", went from looking like a 2-3-4 seed to a 7-8 seed in no time

    right: Chalmers still sucks

    what i got right: i thought kyrie and lebron would fit well together, and after a shaky start, they are co-existing well. i thought andy would look great, playing off of other great players, with his passing shining, as it has.

    what i got wrong: i thought love would be worse defensively, but that he'd fit better with lebron and kyrie than he has so far. i thought dion would be more accepting of his role too.

    Wrong: I expected us to be one of the bottom 3 teams in the league, I thought Ben Gordon would be a total scrub yet he is giving us 15 minutes of solid play off the bench. I thought Harkless would play a role, I thought Aaron Gordon wouldn't be contributing anything but he actually showed some promise and led rookies in per before getting injured.

    Right: I predicted Vucevic would have a great year and push the top 10 offensive centres list, based on summer league I called Payton being above average running the point right out of the gates.

    Wrong: I always bought into the "Love is a statpadder" thing, and wasn't thrilled about him coming here. He's impressed me with his all-around play, especially his low-post game, which I never even realized he had.

    Right: Kyrie is a superstar deserving of much greater praise.

    Expected Tim to go 03 Robinson/current KG mode: turns out he's still our best player

    Also expected Boris to play great. Sad he's probably carrying around an extra 15 pounds.

    Thing I got right: entire offense would crumble without the only PG who can run it.

    Wrong:

    I expected Love to mesh seamlessly on offense and Kyrie to be awful.

    Right:

    Our defense is non existent

    thought we could be 40-42 type team with a healthy Young, Kelly and Randle

    still think we could be.

    wrong, Jeremy Lin is good at basketball

    Rockets

    Wrong: I thought we were going to struggle a bit when we lost Parsons/Lin/Asik. Actually looks like the team improved

    Right: After team USA won their gold, I said Harden's defense was going to look significantly better in the season. So happy I was right

    Wrong : I thought Fisher would be a capable coach.

    Right : Melo is no leader.

    Wrong: Thought Wesley Johnson, Xavier Henry, and Jeremy Lin would make a jump this year. Turns out they're all ****ing garbage, inconsistent, or both. Also thought Randle would be putting up ROTY numbers

    Right: Knew Ed Davis would be a great signing during the offseason, hope the Lakers keep him for the next couple of years.
