Playoff Teams: Where does Houston's Front Line Rank?

Bogut and Green/Lee has to be the weakest of all the front lines. I picked the first 2 or 3 and picked Collison over Adams. My bad.

 

I think he just means that rotations tighten up and starters play more minutes which is true. However Gasol and Zbo aren't going to play 48 minutes a game and then there is foul trouble, injuries, bad shooting nights etc. when a Smith or Jones can create a spark and a Kosta Koufos is not likely going to.

 

Bogut and Green individually are **** tier on offense.

However! They're top two in defense. Plus when Curry and Green initiate a pick and roll, its the 9th most efficient play in the NBA.

 

Because starters play more, backups play less, and fewer guys play in the playoffs.

 

You still need a solid 3-4 guys after your starters you can rely on if you're trying to make a deep run. There's so many things that can happen and those 3-4 guys have to be ready.

 

Even the Spurs last year only played 3 C/PF's more than 7.2 minutes per game.

 

Behind Memphis, Portland, Clippers, Spurs, Warriors (Draymond starts at PF), and Thunder if Ibaka comes back. Ahead of Dallas.

 

PF position players could be envy for the whole NBA. Mold all three of them into one - and you have a perfect warrior.
So, everything depends on Dwight. If he still has some kryptonite left - Rockets are almost elite. But if it's nothing, just craptonite (sorry Dwight ) - Rockets are bleeped.

 

No, we cannot say that.
