Which team has a better front court: Grizzlies or Lakers?

On paper it's LA but in reality it's the grizz by far.

The right question to give us a clue might be: In the playoffs, which team had the best front line---Lakers or Oklahoma.

If OKC was better than the Lakers, then we are in trouble on the front line.

In the first round, Matt Bonner was shutting down Dwight Howard. Aron Baynes shut him down. Some thought maybe this meant that Matt Bonner had moved past his long history of self-vaginalization in the playoffs. Then in the 2nd round he returned to form. Hopefully by now I think we understand that Dwight Howard mentally checked himself out of the playoffs before they began.

Pau Gasol was totally taken out of his game all season by the way Mike D'Antoni insisted on using him. Then, once Kobe went down, given no alternative, D'Antoni let him play inside. Gasol never got into any kind of rhythm.

And the Lakers were coached by Mike D'Antoni, who is the worst NBA coach in living memory, has no idea how to use interior players on offense if their primary game isn't facing the basket, and doesn't even try to coach defense.

Obviously Memphis is better than that.

As long as we avoid Bonner or Blair going against ZBo we should be ok. Randolph can't shoot as easily over Duncan and Splitter.

Lakers have the worst front court in the NBA. All Advanced stats will tell you that. Can't shoot FT's. Can't post up. Can't shoot from perimeter, can't play pick and roll defense. Turnover prone.

Memphis is entirely different. Their bigs can shoot and pass and move. Dwight can jump. He is not nimble. Splitter is a better NBA winning athlete than Dwight. Don't compare them cause they are hyped as having great front courts. The Lakers' is the worst in the league. Front court in the media's definition means having 2 huge dudes. The 'better' your front court, the worse your team cause an elite team in today's NBA should have little difference between front court and back court. 2 Ginobili's + 3 Kawhi Leonards is the ideal team. Not this "Big Man" feed the post type sht.
