    What do you guys think? I was debating with some guys at work. We are all split on this topic.

    I hope so. Francis and Mobley didn't do a damn thing here.

    I think we need more than a half a shortened season from Lin to know. Premature speculation.

    I'll go with McGrady/Wesley.

    Harden is good. I'd like to see Lin hit a few shots before lumping him in with some of the team's best backcourts.

    Francis-Mobley wasn't going to get us anywhere from the very beginning. We were deluded to think otherwise.

    Hope Lin-Harden is better.

    Good luck ever making the play-offs with Francis as your point guard, his style of play and very very extremely low basketball IQ lost more games than his athleticism ever won.

    No offense but thats crazy talk, Francis at 23 DESTROYS Lin and Harden.. Mobley held his own versus the top 2 guards on a regular basis, I remember many games where Mobley gave Kobe fits and other top 2 guards.

    The Francis-Mobley backcourt just didnt win nearly as much as it shouldve/couldve.. Too much streetball deadball playing :/

    Not sure I would agree with the assessment that Francis at 23 destroys Harden.

    2 of them are dumb.

    2 of them are smart.

    I'll let you guys figure out which are which.
