    I am sure the Spurs fans were saying the same thing about Tony Parker.

    AB is not the problem.......he had a bad game, but the team was winning when number 96 came in and killed the ball movement.

    AB, our starting PG, cannot pass the ball to Yao. Go back and look at the 6:40 mark of the 4th quarter when Yao sealed off his man and AB didn't pass it to Yao. This is a huge problem because only Battier can get the ball to Yao now. As bad as shooter that Rafer was, Rafer could get the ball to Yao and would have gotten the ball to Yao at the 6:40 mark of the 4th quarter tonight.

    kneejerk my buttock. I've written a thread summing up AB. His speed, what does he do after he penetrates, what kind of and how easy defense can be against him. check it out.

    First game everyone was doing well and it wasn't him that won us the first game. Second game he cost us the game at a crucial moment and only show up in the last min.

    AB can't create shots and space for his teammates. The guy is playing out of control.

    Well, at least put in Lowry. Good God, Adelman, are you even watching these games?????????????????????????????? Artest cannot be in there in the clutch, and neither can Brooks. End of story, make it so.

    AB could blow by Blake, but the problem is he can't finish or pass after that.

    I hate to see so many times, AB looks at Yao to get a 1-2 seconds wide open, had his man sealed, but AB was not even pretend to pass, but dribble away or just pass to others, WTF, WTF....

    what do you want morey to do? AB has shown a lot of potential, he's a scorer in a pg's body. of course it's going to hurt us when he takes it to the rack and gets it blocked. he's short. but he can shoot, although very streaky, if he can hit 40% or more for 3's, i'm a happy camper and so is RA, if and when he plays selfish, we're not gonna win.

    tonight, everybody except for shane played well, they beat us tonight. it's as simple as that. not AB's fault, nor Ron's. we shot poorly and they outplayed us.

    At least Von Wafer's IQ is a bit better than Aaron because Von knows he doesn't have to force attacking the basket when there is nothing there. But this mthfckr Aaron Brooks is so stupid that he will attack even with a bunch of Blazers inside when there is nothing there. Worst of all, he has no alternative or see if his teammates are open.

    it's funny to expect a 25 year old rookie to grow potential.

    AB is not the problem he is a growing PG, but he is not the issue.

    Sure he could be better at getting Yao the ball, but that takes time...and he is unsure of himself passing it to Yao....I am happy to have him on the team as the starting PG, he had a bad game.

    Big deal...he will get better....but you can not say the same thing for Ron....that guys IS the problem.

    Learning the game of basketball, and particularly the PG position takes time..AB will be fine.....

    Yeah seriously. I was repeatedly yelling at AB to get the ball to Yao when Yao established beautiful post presence. It didn't happen, even when AB was looking right at him. What is he seeing? To be such a clutch shooter, AB has no clutch passing or awareness.

    He is our starting PG! Saying our starting PG has problems passing the ball to our best player is like saying Joe Montana has problems passing it to Jerry Rice. Passing should be a natural skill of our PG - in this case, it's far from a natural skill of our current starting PG.

    WTF, Morey? He can trade Yao or whoever in the post season for all I care, let's taking care of this series first. Do something to finish the series first.
