    I think people are being too quick to hate on The Bear. Maybe that's just me. When he was playing amazing everyone loved him, and now after a little bad stretch people are saying we should trade him, bench him, etc. I think that's kinda effed up...

    I think they're right around average. That with an above average back court makes for a slightly above average team good for 6th seed. Yay.

    Forwards are usually considered being part of the Front court.
    That's why you see tweeners... 3/4

    Slightly below average, but I voted for "average". I think we're in the 15-20 range. Our frontcourt isn't terrible but it's definitely our weakest area. We have a solid all around team now.

    No the back court is the point guard and shooting guard.

    Until they can bring it consistently I would rank our front court below average.

    Starting forwards Luis Scola and Chandler Parsons give the Rockets a nice mix of veteran wiles and rookie enthusiasm around the basket. Center Samuel Dalembert has been a nice pickup with his play in the paint at both ends.

    Ya know, there are only 5 other teams that fall outside of your range...
    Toronto
    Washington
    Sacramento
    San Antonio
    Utah

    If you think just one of them doesn't have a better front court than ours *ahemToronto*, then that puts us right smack in the middle...with an average front court.

    Your last sentence there makes it sound like there were a ton of other teams ahead of us. ;)

    Minnesota - Beasley/Love/Pekovic
    Dallas - Marion/Nowitzki/Haywood
    San Antonio - Jefferson/Duncan/Splitter
    Philadelphia - Iguodala/Young/Hawes
    Orlando - Turkoglu/RyanAnderson/DHoward
    New Jersey - Brooks/Humphries/Lopez
    OKC - Durant/Cook/Ibaka
    New York - Melo/Amare/Chandler
    Sacramento - Salmons/Hayes/Cousins

    Ok now I listed 9 more, that's 20 teams with frontcourts better than ours We are bottom 10. Below average. Look at all the teams I listed and tell me you wouldn't swap our frontcourt for theirs.
