Wow. Let me ask you this: can this frontcourt win you a championship, or even a playoff series against a legit team? NO.

It doesnt matter if they rank top 5-10. They are small. They are flawed and if they were to play the Lakers, Celtics, Magic, or even the Bucks come playoff time they will be exposed.

The frontcourt is a problem but its not the only one. Perimeter defense sucks. Our PG play is awful. Our bench play so far is awful. They arent the only ones to blame.

I love those 2 but we're 3rd from LAST in defensive rebounding, a major defensive stat. So we're looking at a poor-defensive-rebounding frontcourt that scores 32 pts/gm, 18 reb./gm and 3.5 blocks/gm. That's good but not great.

However, they're not our problem: a lack of a playmaker, a terrible bench and pitiful shooting from our wings are killing us.
