Better Future: Golden State Warriors or Houston Rockets?

Houston wins easily as long as David Lee is still on the GSW roster.

 

Steph Curry's ankles still worry me....

Bogut has had his own bout(s) with health issues.

I'd put us on top based on the ability to consistently put our stars and top 3 players on the court.

 

Literally starts a thread just to post a link to another forum.

 

Wow. You thread starting privileges should be removed immediately.

 

I think Barnes potential is much greater than any unseen potential on the Rockets. However, if he doesn't reach that point, Houston wins IMO.

 

Better Cap Space and our star doesn't have glass ankles

 

curry and bogut major injury prone

benderis and jefferson both not playing have 20 million salaries conbimed next yr

they will lose jarred jack.... and landry

they will have no depth

 

If we get Howard then us. If we don't get Howard then them until we land another star.

 

After the playoffs, Bogut openly admitted he could barely make through games toward the end of the year. Dude was in a lot of pain, and he's going to break down soon.

Also Steph will always be an injury risk to make it through 82 games, just because the way he's built and the way he plays - very fragile.

They have some nice pieces in Jarrett Jack, Harrison Barnes, Carl Landry, etc, so they'll be in the picture for awhile.

 

I think we do, barely. If we get Dwight, then yes, we do.

 

I like Houston in the long run if we can make good use of our cap space but I find it interesting that no one mentions the fact that David Lee was an extremely good player when healthy.

Yeah, he's good on the offensive end, but look at other end, he's one of the, if not the worst, defensive post player in the league.

did he link to another forum or something?

 

Only team that challenged the Spurs so far....
we should be better after the UPGRADE

 

Y U No Poll?

 

What is the point of this thread on clutchfans. Everyone is going to vote for the rockets.

 

I guess you missed this exact same question thread before the Warriors lost to the Spurs. People were basicly saying Thompson was just as good as Harden.

 

Depends on injuries, while I am a die hard Rockets fan, there is little doubt that Curry is right there with him if not better at scoring, they are also in a similar position in terms of depth save the fact that the Warriors have more young guys that could probably push them if they develop, which their coach seems more then willing to do.

Depending on what happens this offseason and injuries going forward it is a toss up, but I am leaning toward the Warriors.
