    which team do you think has the best backcourt in the nba?

    Which match up do you like better? When the rockets play the warriors, should paul have the ball more to attack curry? When we play the thunder, should it be 50-50?

    I think you should consider Roberson as the SG for OKC op.

    Yeah and probably Smart for Boston since Hayward is a 3

    I feel like he only played sg last year because oladipo cannot play sf and that naturally he is a forward.

    I thought smart will come off the bench and they will start crowder....not sure.

    You're not wrong, but it's possible they're going to play Hayward as SG to keep Crowder in the starting 5 since he's better than Smart overall. Would've been different if they would still have Bradley of course.

    Fair enough, i was just thinking that Roberson played SF last season cause Oladipo was a SG only like you said, but since PG is a SF, Roberson is going to be the SG this season, fwiw obviously.

    PG is a SF so OKC don't qualify.Talent wise it is us but the Warriors are a established quantity

    Ok so last year they played

    Westbrook - oladipo - roberson

    And stuck roberson on harden defensively. So naturally roberson is a sf and he will take on the better player defensively so paul can focus on offense. I think paul fits the sg mold better, but they really are interchangeable.

    CP3 Harden has the potential to NOT only be the best back court in the NBA but the best backcourt of all time

    A legendary Pure PG with a potential top 5 SG

    What I like most about our backcourt is that Curry cannot really hide anymore
    Many players evidently hate the fact that curry can make them look foolish
    and
    then on defense don't play head up on them .. . so they cannot return the favor

    What are they going to do now .. . . switch him on to Ariza or our PF?

    Klay is clearly the worst of that group, so yet.

    Greatest passing tandem in NBA history.

    I think the thread shoUld be best starting backcourt. But i do think our backcourt rotation is the best in the league now. Cp3-beard-ej is scary good. May be close to Run TMC-type numbers when it comes to offensive potential.
