    Martin and Brooks for offense.

    TMac and Sura for overall best.

    TMac, back when Sura was around, was comparable to Kobe. Sura was pretty much a white Kyle Lowry, just better.

    Man, those were the days.

    Steve and Cat...

    Folks always say they failed, but we never had talent around them...

    The best they got was an underdeveloped Yao and Mo T...

    No doubt it's McGrady/Sura.

    But had McGrady stayed healthy, the McGrady/Brooks backcourt of 2008-09 would have topped them all. Ah, what could have been.

    The 04-05 team was so fun to watch, and I will never understand how they did not win the championship.

    If we would say all time, I'd have to go with our Kenny Smith and Vernon Maxwell combination. After all, they did get us a championship albeit with Hakeem.

    T-Mac Sura. Offensively I guess Brooks and MArtin could keep up in terms of scoring but T-Mac - Sura gives more defense, more playmaking, more clutch and more rebounding

    I like me some Frenchfries/Cat

    As much as I disliked SF3 when he used to use up the clock, those 2 were helluvalot more entertaining.

    we've only gotten past the 1st round once in this decade.

    AB/Ron/Von/Lowry

    AB/Ron is probably the answer.

    Yeah.. T-Mac and Sura were beasting it back then. I love Sura's attitude and it was unfortunate that he had to retire because of injuries. :(

    The most talented might be Brooks/ Martin but

    I am gonna vote Brooks/Ron, no other combo had as much success as them

    Brooks/Martin = Too early

    Steve/Cuttino had much better chemistry than Sura/Tmac

    and they were friends

    a two on two game of Tmac/sura would KILL martin and brooks..

    when we had a healthy tmac and a killer instinct sura we had a awesome back court..

    hey not complaining now brooks/martin is playing great..

    I voted for McGrady/Sura because Sura was THE MAN. I'm not going to call what we have our greatest backcourt of the decade until I see them together for a season or so. But I do think that they will be just that, given time.

    TMac/Sura followed by TMac/Alston. The fact is TMac was just better then any other guard we've had since Drexler retired. Francis/Cat was probably my favorite though.

    One of the best 3pt shooting backcourts in franchise history. Martin looks like he could put up 25+ a game in this offense and Brooks is about 21 a game. Will be fun to watch the two for a full season nxt yr.
