On Rockets defense they are current without their three best perimeter D guys (Lowry, Battier, Ariza). When your perimeter is Brooks-Martin-Budinger, there’s no hope D will happen.

Yes they are. One game does not a season make.
They are 6-52 through 58 games, and are projected out to end 8-74, the worst ever record in NBA history.
Now, that isn’t going to happen…they will win more than 8 games, because historically, teams that start out this bad do much better in their last 20 to 25 games. The worst teams in history (72-73 Sixers 9-73; 92-93 Mavericks 11-71; 97-98 Nuggets 11-71, and 93-94 Mavericks 12-70) all had 4 to 8 wins through 58 games, and posted records like 5-19 and 7-17 to finish out the season. Not great, but much better than the first three quarters of the season.
So I fully expect the Nets to finish somewhere around 11 to 12 wins. Maybe even 13 or 14.
But any way you cut it, they will still be top five or six in the worst teams category in NBA history.
