Who is the best backcourt in the league?

I'm gonna go with Curry/Ellis.

Curry Ellis easily

I know that if I were Sam Presti, I'd be pissed at myself. In fact, either Evans or Curry would've been a great pick for the Thunder. People talk about Evans being ball dominant, but it seems to me that's at least in part because Sacramento wants him to develop into a playmaker. Both Tyreke and Curry's games adjust quite well to playing off the ball, although I think Curry's long-range game might've made him a better fit in Oklahoma.

Curry/Ellis.

Curry Ellis for sure.

If Lebron plays PG, then Lebron/Wade easily.

Holiday/Turner

I'll take the Hornets rotation when Thornton gets out of the doghouse. Curry Ellis is nasty as far as starters.

If Durant plays SG, then Westbrook/Durant easily.

But seriously, right now it's definitely the Warriors.
Only other real contenders are:
Parker/Ginobili
Nash/Richardson/Dragic (96 good minutes)
Miller/Roy (but Roy is playing lousy so far)

Rondo/Allen

I'd say that backcourt is arguably better than Ellis/Curry.

Rondo and Ray Allen. Defense and offensive reasons.

Cloud765 · Post #13 » by **Cloud765** » Tue Nov 9, 2010 9:48 pm

Wade/LeBron

Yep.

Conventionally though it's Rondo and Allen. Next are probably Nelson and Carter.

They're not the best, but they're the youngest.

Video of the Sixers' Jrue Holiday talking Tuesday about playing alongside rookie Evan Turner and his more aggressive offensive approach with Andre Iguodala injured:

Defensively, hell yes.

Offensively, no

Rondo/Allen/West/Robinson

That's a very good backcourt rotation.
