Rockets : Aquire maybe the best defender in the league AFTER already having the second best d in the NBA..

Answer:  Rockets

Answer 10

Well its pretty obvious that the Rockets will now have the better defense, because the Rockets have 2 elite defenders on their team. The Celtics lost one of their better defenders in James Posey so it would seem like the Rockets now have the better defense but it remains to be seen.

Answer 11

yea but u guess the Celtic still have a better team defense being able to stop opponents and blow them out at the same time they might struggle i don't think they will embrace there rolls. so what artest 15 t mac 24 and yoa ming 20 i dont see that happening not to mention skip to ma Lou its gonna be fun tho

Answer 12

gotta go with the celtics because KG is the best power forward ever and shoulda been MVP.. rajon rondo good and stealin and harassing the other PG.. perkins is alright at protectin the paint.. and KG is a beast... yao doesnt rlly play d but he is 7 6 so his presence alone is good enough.. artest former defensive player of the year and battier lockdown defender that can hit the 3.. t mac doesnt rlly play d and rafer is decent at d.. so on paper the rockets is a better defensive team.. but the cetlics last year was one of the best defensive teams ever

Answer 13

Despite being a HUGE Celtics fan, I must give this one to the Rockets who just aquired arguably the best defensive small forward in the league. Mix that together with a solid defensive squad and an Underrated defensive gem in Yao Ming, and the Rockets look to be a solid team next year.
