Celtics.
They can still beat most top teams without KG.
Which team would be the best? Which team would win the le this year?
Discuss.
Celtics.
They can still beat most top teams without KG.
Lakers.
They don't even need Kobe with all the talent on that team.
Nuggets. You replace a one dimensional All star with an all-round superstar in Balkman
Suns would be a 40-win team, at best.
C's
Spurs, without manu spurs got to the playoffs twice
Lakers
Celtics. At first thought I would say LA, but the offense becomes stagnant when Kobe isn't in the game. As good as Pau is offensively, the team really benefits from the amount of attention Kobe demands when he has the ball in his hands. The C's though, are just extremely balanced all around.
Pierce is the best player on that team imo.
At least he was in their finals run.
But celtics I agree.
Rondo, Allen and KG can carry the team.
Melo is an all around beast this year manNuggets. You replace a one dimensional All star with an all-round superstar in Balkman
The Knicks. Cause they don't have a best player.
Sons, they didn't need one in New Orleans tonight
Don't laugh. They are on a roll. 4 straight wins.Sons, they didn't need one in New Orleans tonight
Yeah, Pierce/KG are inter-changeable. I think KG brings more team defense but Pierce is clutch.
I think the Celtics are the only team with 3 guys who could be #1 players...Ray Allen is on the low end of #1 guys but he's pretty clutch too and very compe ive.
Just sayin, they didn't need a "best player" (who i think is Al Harrigton)
This is more of a
Haha, you'd actually be adding a player to the Rockets.
Exactly.
LA easily. Fisher/Artest/Odom/Gasol/Bynum would be at worst a top 5 NBA starting lineup compared to the rest of the league with its stars.
Houston(Yao as best player), Detroit(Stuckey, Gordon, Rip, Prince?, no clear cut #1), Boston(Without Garnett/Pierce), Clippers(Griffin, Camby, Baron?), Magic(No Dwight, but have big man depth now).
Basically, any team without a clear cut #1 that has depth to cover it, Like how the Jazz can cover Boozer with Millsap.
Rockets....for crying out loud we are 13-9 and have played the toughest schedule and are without our TWO best players.
DD
suns already are a 40 win team.
probably the celtics. take away any one player and they are still damn good cause they are such a good TEAM.
take away Kobe and the lakers are good but nowhere near as deadly. they become FAR more beatable.
LA could run a triple-tower lineup that would murder on the glass. They'd still have two all-star bigmen to punish teams inside, and they'd still be really good defensively. I could see Boston if we were talking about the Rasheed of a couple of years ago, but not the one who has looked bad and out of shape all season so far.
Carslile said that if Dallas loses JJ Barea, they're tanking the season...
We are playing so well without them, that the people never seem to come to the realization that we already are without our best player(s). I don't think anyone would be doing better than us minus their best player, and facing our schedule. Take out their second best player and most of these teams would be facing the lottery.
