    Don't these players remember how Aaron Brooks was the key to us beating Portland?

    Don't these players remember how Aaron Brooks carried us last year without Yao?

    Don't these players remember how Aaron Brooks won Most Improved?

    I am looking at you Lowry. Why did you treat him like that on the court today, even though he let you play behind him and learn basic basketball skills like shooting?

    Do Rocket players have short term memory of what Brooks did here for a couple of years?

    THIS IS WHY SUPERSTARS DONT WANT TO COME HERE. :mad:

    haha ... make you believe what Feigen wrote that the Rocket players began to dislike playing with AB this season

    it's tough love ... AB has mental issues vs. HOU. He has to get over it if he wants to earn his next contract

    Uh...

    ...you don't suppose Aaron Brooks read any pages from the Tracy McGrady book of team camaraderie...?

    Lowry plays the hardest against his friends - see Conley/AB. Lowry is RELENTLESS; I think Kyle took AB's Jaw off twice going to the rack. I really felt sorry for AB today; especially when the rookie came in and completely out played him in 1.5 qtrs. he looked so sad man.

    Aaron Brooks? The guy who was suspended for quiting on the team? The guy who was pouting all year long about his contract? That guy?

    Lowry deliberately outplayed Brooks, and then let's his backup score to make Brooks look worse.

    In all seriousness for a second, I really, TRULY, did feel bad for him at one point. On a human level.

    Obviously I would have been pissed at him if he played like that for us(which he did, time and again). But seeing it from the other side, it gave me a completely different perspective.

    It's was like... watching someone kick a puppy. Getting mad at him because he isn't fighting back was the last thing on my mind. I was just hoping the little guy didn't get hurt. I guess in that sense, it was on a sub-human level.

    So AB is a superstar??

    And I can imagine Dwight Howard, watching rockets games, and saying: They traded a player, who helped them last season, so If I go and play there, and win a championship, then they going to trade me the year after that, and I want to stay in a team for at least two seasons, so no for the rockets.

    :rolleyes:

    IDK why but in my head your Dwight quote sounded like a slow 3rd grader deciding on a pbj for lunch or his favorite pizza lunchables.

    Why you make AB no want to NBA no more!?!:mad:

    Why you make AB your female dog all over the court!?!

    Why you drop shots in his face and make him Sad1?!
