[PEAK OFFSEASON] Rockets team of the millennium

Spurs, Warriors, Heat, Celtics, Lakers come to mind. Dark horse: Suns, Kings, Mavs.

Yeah, Celtics would have Allen, Pierce, Garnett, IThomas, Irving, Hayward, Horford, A Walker, Rondo, Tatum, Brown, Rozer... several more that aren't coming to mind. They haven't been consistently good but they've had enough good peaks to throw together one of the best 2000s+ teams.

EDIT: Plus how could i forget Brian Scalabrine

 

Make me tough guy.

 

You made me laugh. We cool.

 

Meh. That one year we lost to Dallas he played well for us and was getting in his groove before getting injured right before the post season and missing the playoffs

 

Cp3/Francis/Lowry
Harden/Gordon/Mobley
Tmac/Artest/Ariza
Tucker/Scola/Landry
Yao/Dwight/Clint

Also, people are sleeping on the Heat. Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Mourning, Shaq, Dragic, Butler, Odom, Whiteside, Udonis, Posey, Eddie Jones, Jason Williams, Payton.

Also Golden State adds prime Baron Davis, Monta Ellis and Jason Richardson to their already stacked team.

 

nah doesnt fit. i liked how eddie played thought he was gonna be a DPOY candidate in a few years.

Dude, the Celtics would have KG, Pierce, Kyrie, Allen, Isaiah Thomas, Hayward, Tatum, Big Baby, Shaq, Sheed, and more.

 

lakers would have Shaq, Kobe and Lebron

 

Miami would have Shaq, Ray Allen, Wade, Lebron.

Warriors would have KD Klay Steph Green Boogie... oh wait..

 

lol @ team storyteller

I think the team storyteller should be Dikembe

 

If the all-2000's+ Lakers with Lebron played the all-2000's+ Heat with Lebron, which team would ESPN overhype? Or would the world's entire television network implode into nothingness?

 

CP3/Lowry/Francis/Bev
Harden/Martin/Gordon
TMAC/Battier/Ariza
Scola/Tucker
Yao/Dwight/Capela

 

ThunderSonics would be pretty good

PG: Payton/Westbrook
SG: Allen/Harden
SF: Durant/George/Lewis
PF: Ibaka/Kanter/Melo
C: Adams

 

I had no idea our power forward position has been weak for the past 2 decades. No knock on Scola. He was a good power forward and I liked him. But, he was a role player. We've had franchise players at all other positions.

 

That Scola should be so high in rankings just goes to show how Rockets have gone so long with a great power forward. I loved Scola but best in 18 years? Maybe he was. He certainly ranks at the position where we've traditionally been most shallow.

This was a huge issue for us in the 90s too and we struggled there with teams like Sonics, Jazz, Suns, who each had great PF's. IIRC first chip didn't go through Seattle which was lucky because Kemp especially had our number, leading to massive trade after 1st chip for Barkley, the first great PF we had since twin towers.

We haven't had a truly great PF since. We've had great contributors at that position but we've been soft there. It's lucky for us that the NBA is no longer so much about 1 on 1 matchups and that positions are so much more fluid than they were back then.
