Is the current staring 5 (Dame/CJ/Hood/Melo/Whiteside) the best unit of Dame's career?

  1. Yes--they're as balanced a group as he's ever played with

    This current starting lineup has only played 5 games together and we are 4-1 in those games with the only loss being to a very good team and we were on the road.

    In addition, if you took this starting lineup and were able to add Harrel and Lou Williams we would be better than the Clippers and if we had their full bench we would likely be one of, if not the best in the NBA.

    If we had our full bench, we might be one of the best in the NBA. Come back soon Zach and Nurk!

    Oh, no doubt we would be a serious team with our full compliment, but if Collins didn't get hurt we likely wouldn't have Melo. Clippers have several players off the bench that can get you 20 on some nights. We don't have that same luxury.

    Before Nurk got hurt last year was the best. If everyone is healthy this team is the best.
