    Don't want to make t0o quick a judgement, they have the potential to be the top of the list. I think rgiht now they're the most lethal backcourt in the league.

    i think tmac and rafers but 38-40 ppg. brooks can give you 28-30+ points on any given night and when kmart went off against san antonio, i was like we finally have a offensive machine who can get 40 all the time like tmac.i think it would be 38-40 because, hey, they cant combine for 50+ EVERY TIME i mean, do carmello anthony and chauncey billups do that? do russell westbrook and kevin durant do that? just really think about it sometimes. :confused:

    thats because they take shots away from each other, the key to a duo is to acknowledge who has a better shot so you can score at an efficient rate. Both are dead eye 3 pt shooters which is why that has been the case lately.

    Probably around 42-43 ppg a night. When Yao comes back, it's still going to be 42-43 ppg...but a more efficient 42-43. That is if Yao can still command double teams when he gets back. Morey finally surrounded Yao with some damn legit shooters....a few seasons too late though..
