Split up THAT big men duo? They have the best chance to beat the Warriors and will if healthy. It's a great counter. I don't see the Rockets beating the master of that style of offense.
People don't realize what Rondo can do for this team. Take a look at what he did against the #1 seed Celtics last season.
You HAVE to go in with this core, and Rondo IS part of that core. Build with them. If you want to compete against a ridiculously stacked team that plays so well together, the Warriors, then you have do something DIFFERENT. You're NOT beating them at their own game. You think the Warriors can handle Ad AND Cousins once this team gels a lot more and gets another piece or two?
Remember the fight the Grizzles gave the Warriors and Spurs the last few years? The Grizzles were never even at full health those years they lost, at least a couple of those seasons. Exceptional big men + good/great guards is nothing to look past.
This board is something. It was bad enough the media/others were talking about Cousins leaving and being traded by next year, now the posters here are talking about it.
