Houston- Best Backcourt in the League?

Bleacher Report released an article ranking Chris Paul and James Harden of the Houston Rockets as the best backcourt of the league.

Do I agree?

Absolutely.

Paul averaging 18.1 points, 9.2 assists and shooting 47.6% from the field.

Harden averaging 29.1 points, 11.2 assists and shooting 44% from the field.

Sure, both of these guys had some turnovers and were the ones with the ball the majority of the time. However, you can't place Curry and Thompson above them. Isiah Thomas and JR Smith? No way. DeRozan and Lowry? As much as I wish, unfortunately not. There is no better backcourt then these two. With Paul at the point and Harden at the 2 and Capela down deep, this team will be extremely hard to stop. As a team, they won't be on the level of the Warriors but put up any backcourt in the league against Houston's and you will lose.
