Portland!? Maybe best starting 5 in an orange jumpsuit. You might as well have included Milwaukee and Utah into that mix.
The Rockets are making a pretty impressive starting line-up. At least better than Denver and Detroit. Yao - 2nd best center in the league Cato - A monster on the boards, and a decent defender to boot Jim Jackson - Good in the post, and plays defense Cat - Can score on any body, sometimes a little too much... Steve - Great guard, and maybe even a great PG under JVG I guess I'm just a homer, but we look pretty good this year.
Phoenix has a better starting 5 than Portland, San Antonio, New Orleans, Denver, Detroit.. Look up their numbers last season. Phoenix starters combined for more points, rebounds and assists than the Spurs for example. Marbury, Penny/JJ , Marion, Amare, Voshkul
Lakers, Wolves and Mavs have best starting 5 on paper. Both Portland and New Orleans can put up mamoth size and crash the boards like no other. However Portland have bad chemistry while New Orlean's backcourt is insanely undersized. Indy can put up size too but their guys are kind unproven for Starting. Detroit has no starting line up Nasty becn tho. Denver guys can't be judged till the regular season starts. They do have some good talents on paper tho. Sac has the greatest starting five with either Divac or Bradley at C. Where is San Antonio tho?
i thot Jason COllins was starting for the nets, and ZO's of the bench here comes a we traded him and 2 others for eddie griffen post
Lakers, Dallas, Minnesota, Rockets - in that order. Please note that the best starting 5 does NOT necessarily mean the best team. However, when you are looking at this list, you have to look at STARS - players who have a huge advantage at their position.
Francis: 17.5ppg 7apg Mobley: 17.8ppg 5rpg JJax: 11ppg 2.3spg MoT: 15.2ppg 7rpg MingYao: 22ppg 11rpg Can't be to locked onto one franchise. This Rox team looks realy good.
Lakers are the bestlooking one on paper with Kobe. Then Mavericks...ON PAPER. Then Minnesota. Then Kings. Then Spurs. Then Rockets. Then Nets. Then Suns. Hornets are about equal to Suns. Blazers and SOnics are about equal. Denver's not even close.
Was that a Fraudian slip? Unless Mourning comes back completely healthy, I don't think they're that good player for player.
Francis Mobley Jackson Taylor Yao How the hell could you not put them on the poll, you Rocket hater. I'll take our guys over anyone!
