    So to compare ages.

    When Boston made their Big 3:
    Paul Pierce 29
    Kevin Garnett 31
    Ray Allen 31

    Potential Rockets Big 3:
    James Harden 27
    Chris Paul 32
    Carmelo Anthony 32

    The problem though is comparing the Lakers to the Warriors. Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom vs Stephen Curry, Kevin Garnett, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson.

    How would the Rockets do versus the Celtcis or Lakers. Would the Warriors beat all of these teams? There are some interesting match ups. I think Garnett would make Draymond his b*tch though, just my opinion.

    I think Garnett is slightly better than Anderson

    SO KG playing for both GSW and Celtics. I think we should stick to making simple threads. These complicated threads and everything goes haywire

    I have probably made 3-4 threads in the last 2 years. I could not, not get in on this all around debacle. I'm also interested in hearing the opinions of people on here about what I asked.

    You have to put Rondo into the equation. He was the one who made that team tick from the PG position.

    I think it's a similar level of talent. they also had a talented rondo on a rookie contract kinda like we have a talented capela on a rookie contract.

    I think the celtics big 3 the fit might've been a little bit better but I think harden in his prime right now is more dominant than any of those 3 were at that time.

    I think warriors have the toughest time with that lakers team. I think a big tall huge physically intimidating team might confuse them. who knows. i think warriors still win though

    The problem for us there would be that Garnett could D up on anyone on our roster while we wouldn't have anyone to check him. He was a very good jump shooter from mid range (like Melo), but he had so much more than any of our players in terms of length and athleticism. Not to mention Rondo who was an elite defender (Harden and CP3 are at least as good passing-wise and far superior offensively). Pierce, Allen, and Garnett were all good shooters with Allen and Garnett being elite. I would say this: Harden is better than Pierce and Allen, and so are Melo and CP3, but no one on our roster plays defense anything like Garnett or Rondo. I know that those Celtics teams would be a nightmare for Golden State simply because of the defense they played. Their perimeter defense was devastating.

    Warriors would destroy Celtics big 3. We are older and cp3 is broken down. The Celtics big three lasted how many years? Our worse version won't last even that long. We have the big 2 and the 43% chucker

    It's actually the opposite in two ways.

    I don't like dating much, and I have hard time finishing sometimes. I like to get hot girls and stick with them for a while. Also like I said I have a hard time finishing, with average girls.
