Do the Timberwolves have the best frontcourt in the NBA?

Jamel really does need to work on being more outspoken.

Odom was the Lakers 3rd best player in the 11 playoffs behind Bynum and Kobe.

Kobe is better than James Harden.

Both opinions I already expressed, but maybe you Diabled out of threads when I did.

Metta is playing real well and is the Lakers second most consistent player, but he is benefitting from open 3's and single coverage post up attempts and penetration. His d continues to be outstanding, but Dwight has been the best frontcourt player overall.

Chris Paul won't have as good of a career as Kobe!

Is that a start?

To you. I just meant that no one was even mentioning Phoenix... so all you saw was the absence of Phoenix.

The wolves played Phoenix last night and their front line looked like world beaters against them. So I assumed that he caught the game and was wrongly assuming that last might meant they were a great front court.

That's only because the refs are out to screw them.

I think we have to see NY's play well together before it goes ahead of Minny's definitively. If we're talking best overall collection of star power, NY and LA would definitely go ahead, but Minny (and Memphis) have high overall production potential at all 3 positions. The way Artest has played this year moves me to put LA ahead of Minny in that regard as well.

It's hard to evaluate some of these, depending on how much you want to value the 3rd player. Melo + Chandler obviously rips the shit out of Love + Pekovic. Considering them as a trio is where opinions diverge.

Can't agree with this one. Boozer is baaaad.

HA! Nice try. I said it'll be interesting team. Either we'll suck really bad or surprisingly competitive. Never once did I say playoff team.

Maybe you should hang around your own team board more often.

Have they been interesting?

[Dissonance]

Kind of. They'll play well for string of nights and really bad for a string of others. I don't seek out to watch em though.

I have more recent post than you. And I rechecked, you are correct, you did state that they would be either mediocre or terrible. I have had too many of my friends and family tell me that the suns were going to be contenders that I have forgotten that I discuss with people who actually understand the league.
