    Steve Francis was about a 7/10 PG - Westbrook is like a 9/10
    Cutino was about 7/10 SG - Harden is like a 9.5/10

    Harden has to match up with kd or steph with klay.

    2 mvps vs 1 mvp/1 all star

    And length and athleticism?? Lol

    Ok ur not getting what I'm saying...of course harden better then curry, west better then klay.

    That can be true but those guys be a better duo...they have played thier whole careers together plus won. Thier games mesh better. How is that even a arguement. One set only 3 years as babys together.....another set multiple chips together

    Dray didn’t play at an all star level in regular season. He admitted to being out of shape, but Dray was the best player on their team in that series. They won 1 game without KD... and we didn’t have Westbrook..

    If you swap 3rd best players on each team. Capela for Draymond Rockets win that series easily.

    I’m soo confused by what you are saying here. What kinda duo was Jordan and Pippen with 6 titles? Shaq and Kobe got 3 also. Duncan and Parker?

    I really don’t think they woulda won another ring without KD and even the one they won was a fluke cuz everyone they played got injured.

    Not to mention the whole damn league is rigged to help them.

    One averages a triple double and the other leads the league in scoring and has won or been second in the MVP standings for the last 4 season and counting. Harden lost one MVP to Westbrook. He was robbed this year by a Power Forward not even a back court player after having an historic season. Curry has been beaten out by both Harden & Westbrook for MVP since he was the MVP. Save to say the Rockets got this one.

    There have been some pretty good backcourts.

    Isiah Thomas and Joe Dumars
    Manu and Parker
    Magic and Cooper
    Monroe and Frazier
    West and Goodrich

    Underrated is Stockton and Hornacek cuz they kept running into Jordan.

    GS should win 2016 without kd, but not 2015.

    Morey needs a good trade. This is not championship team.
    Need 2 stretch bigs.

    Think you got your years mixed up. The first finals they played with KD was 2017. They lost in 2016 to the Cavs. and Won in 2015.

    Rockets back court hasn't been about shiet lately. Just a bunch of lip service towards the referees!

    The team can do without the on court entertainment because that stuff only represents low class ignorance!
