    are the Blazers a better team if Dame and CJ supporting cast are PJ Tucker, Mboh-Mute and Capella? Just thinking why are the Rockets a better team with that supporting cast.

    James Harden is an MVP level talent and they are almost perfectly designed for today’s NBA. CP, Harden, Ariza, and Anderson can all shoot it at a really high clip and Capela is the X factor with his ability to run the floor and fill his role so well. Their roster is the opposite of ours in the way that all their players fit the system really well and play off each other.

    The interesting thing is Moreys philosophy has always been just accumulate as much talent as possible and they will figure it out. Which isn’t what makes this team great. I honestly think he got lucky on some of these guys fitting so well as a team.

    The encouraging part... we can get there with intelligent roster management and having the cahones to pull it off. You don’t need GSW level talent to play at a championship level.

    The rockets are a better team because...

    CP3/Harden>>>Dame/CJ

    It’s the starters that make Houston better.
