    There's no arguing that the Rockets, obviously, absolutely, for sure, are a better top heavy team than the Raptors in every position.

    Chris Paul >> Kyle Lowry
    Eric Gordon >> Danny Green
    James Harden >> Kawhi Leonard
    P.J. Tucker >> Pascal Siakam
    Clint Capela >> Serge Ibaka

    I hate the Raps. Love PJ. But I don’t know man. Siakam is damn good. Also, based on this season, Danny Green has been very impressive and efficient, and EG has sucked. Look past the points per game and you will uncover horrendous percentages.

    Am I reading that wrong? Are youyou imply a team like toronto doesn't have a bench or just ranking the top five regardless of bench?

    Do you ever feel like Rockets performance in games is consistently inconsistent? With that said, Rockets are a better top heavy team, but performance in games is consistently inconsistent.

    Ummmmmm there is definitely an argument to be made that the raps top 5 is as good as ours. They aren’t better than us offensively but are DEFINITEY better than us defensively.

    I love tuck but saying him>siakam idk bout

    the Rockets have a better defense according to the Individual Defensive Rating stat last year.

    Chris Paul >> Kyle Lowry
    Eric Gordon >> Danny Green
    P.J. Tucker >> Pascal Siakam
    Clint Capela >> Serge Ibaka
