Having Andrew Bogut and David Lee in the frontcourt is solid. Richard Jefferson is a proven veteran small forward, Steph Curry can score, and Carl Landry is dependable... It's not a bad team. Question is if they'll play enough defense to actually win games. Not sure they will - but I'm not sure the Blazers and their offensive-minded coach will either. I hadn't really looked at the Rockets' roster, and hadn't realized how completely it was gutted in the offseason. I was mostly banking on the fact that the Rockets seem to always do better than predicted. But looking at their roster, I have to put them down in the "probably irrelevant" category with the Blazers. With the exception of Kevin Martin, that team looks really questionable.
Definitely not Houston, but Golden State is a "maybe" for me. It mostly comes down to Bogut and how healthy he can get/stay and whether or not Klay Thompson has another jump left in his development.
