    What's the record number of points scored in an NBA game by a starting backcourt? And the most by a Rocket back court? Anyone happen to know?

    Presti probably should've dealt Westbrook simply because a talented point guard would be so much easier to find and replace him.

    I'm not ready to say we have the best backcourt in the NBA, but whoever the best is ...we've got them nervous :)

    I think we have the better starting backcourt only because Billups is not ever healthy and the Clippers play Willie Green as a starter....

    In terms of overall backcourt yes the Clippers are better but starting I give us the slight edge since Willie Green really weighs CP3 down. Willie Green is like a 3rd string SG.

    Lin: "I'll make the next one."

    And tonight, he did. Twice.

    Clippers have a pretty good case as do the Spurs but we're definitely top 3.

    Deron's terrible atm with Joe Johnson.
    Nash & Kobe are terrible atm.

    Only one better, Clippers.

    If Lin gets it going at a more consistent rate, then i'd say were right on track.

    I could say with a positive thought that by next year he can dish a 15.0 ppg and 8.0 apg plateau or even more.
