Will the Rockets have the best defense next season?

Question

Center: Yao and Mutombo

Power Forward: Scola, Dorsey, Landry, Novak, Artest

Small Forward: Artest, Battier, Mcgrady

Shooting Guard: Mcgrady, Battier, Luther, Barry

Point Guard: Alston, Francis, Brooks

They have a defensive player at each position except for maybe point guard. A lot of their players can play multiple positions.

Answer 1

i think they will

Answer 2

Yeah on paper they there lineup should be scary for oppsoing offenses. I think what they have to do is find a way to get there best players on the court. I think theyre lineup should look like this.

PG: Ron Artest (he can play point)

SG: McGrady    

SF:  Battier

PF: Scola

C:   Ming

If they can stay healthy they should be favorites.

Answer 3

it's very possible. but the celtics still have great D even tho posey is gone. and plus tony allen plays great D. but the rockets might. never know

Answer 4

Maybe but the Celtics are reallly good at defense too

Answer 5

maybe cause for a team to go 22 wins you gotta have hard defence and they showed it!!

Answer 6

i think so. boston might drop because of posey leaving... not by a lot, just sayin'. SA is not going to be as good. bowen is showing his age. detroit... uh... picked up kwame brown... well we'll see how that works out.

but i think the rockets will be a very versatile team. and can go from great D to great O depending on the teams and match-ups.

they made a good pick up in artest. especially since the only coach he's ever really liked and respected was rick adleman.

Answer 7

its still going to be Celtics still

its takes TEAM DEFENSE to win a Championship

not individual.

If the Rockets get on the same page, then maybe

Answer 8

Yes they WILL be the Celtics of the west. They already had outstanding defense but now with Artest they are through the roof. Battier, Yao, Artest, and Scola are the best defensive players on the team.

Answer 9

r u kidding me.....

........

...........

Celtics, Spurs will still be better defensively :P  and i might even be missing a team better than the Rockets.  They do have a good defense, but not great.  Battier is their Rock, when the Celtics have KG.  Last time i saw Yao, he doesnt play defense ^ ^.
