    I meant defensively like Perkins. Not as good as him.

    Clippers wouldnt be better...Memphis finished ahead of the Clippers last year. And even with the ridiculous end of the season, the Rockets finished with only 6 less wins than the Clips.

    Our potential lineup trumps last years lineup...and Griffin is going to continue getting banged up. No way the Clippers finish ahead of the Rockets lineup I posted.

    You guys are supreme homers starting two rookies will not get a top 3-5 seed in the west what are y'all smoking?

    No I'm saying it would be at least be a tight contest which could go either way, with any team except the Lakers.

    Even if he's right, we're the 5 seed....I'd gladly take a playoff matchup vs. the Clippers in the first round if we had that lineup juxtaposed to theirs.

    I think you forgot that we have a top 5 NBA player on the roster.

    Only OKC and LA in the West can boast the same thing.

    Yeah two rookies... not to mention the best center in the NBA, a solid-to-all star level PG (depending on how he develops), and a fantastic roleplayer whose defense gave Kevin Durant fits last year.

    OKC would swept Rockets. Lamb can shoot light out, but he isn't greastest defender. Potencial second unit of OKC Maynor-Harden-G. Hill-Perry Jones-Collison is better on every position other than C and maybe PF.

    The length, versatility and rim protection of that team alone probably gets you out of the first round, at least.

    You know that last year we were .500 against OKC, right?

    Wow you guys are clueless...This is the Western Conference...Orlando was in the east and barely finishing in the top 5...2 rookies aren't going to push to a top 3-5 seed..to each his own

    Also, my assessment reflects my belief that Motiejunas is much more polished than the typical rookie and will play a lot better than one because of his experience in pro ball in Europe.

    In regular shortened lockout season. And it was by one point both games.

    So what? The games we lost (except maybe 1 of them? I forget) were close contests too. And do you really think last year's team was better than the one I listed would be? You're off your rocker if so.

    There's no way we get Dwight without giving up either Lamb or Parsons. More than likely we may have to give up both.Think about it man. If you were the GM you have to get back solid potential and skill plus picks. Those are the only 2 guys we have that actually have that.
