    If by backcourt you mean starting backcourt, in which case I think that most players would be the weak link starting next to James Harden. :p

    why don't u rockets doubters just get a whip and start flagellating yourselves to let off some steam? GSW team has been together for awhile. For all I can say , heck maybe we are seeing their limit.
    NOT the case of the Rockets. Harden and rockets had zero off season training together, we had a coach out for quite a few games because of sad reasons.
    HECK, I am well excited about next season! And will be following intently their training camps. DEFINITELY, I will bet money on it that the Rockets will come back stronger than the GSW next season, if not silly stuff happens.

    I hope Ames Haren and Eremy Lin improve their jumper shot during the summer. Without that, they will lose big to GSW's backcourt.

    Just thinking about the comment Mark Jackson made about have the best backcourt in the game...makes me scratch my head...i get that they are terrific young players...but that is such a bold statement to make...while playing championship experienced Spurs...

    Curry and Thompson have been playing poorly in the last 2-3 games...and without the bg games from Barnes, they wouldve lost badly...

    Curry and Thompson are great shooters, but if you go cold, you better do something else...and so far, they have disappointed since taking the first couple of games...

    he said best shooters, he didn't say best back court, as pure shooters, yeah they probably are close to if not the best of all time, seriously, they have maybe the best 3 point shooter ever and the other guy shoots 40%

    Regression to the mean.

    The Spurs backcourt certainly destroyed them in that game.

    In Harden's worst game, he scored more than both of them combined.

    Curry could barely run. He has been run down to the ground this playoffs. Plus he averaged almost 40 min in the reg season. I'm surprised his ankles have held up for this long.

    Lin plays well with Golden State Warriors

    So basically Lin & Harden >> plus does Harden have glass ankles?
