    I'm really glad to see Lowry finish the game ,tonight RA made the right decision :D
    When AB is in,our defense sucks,and he is s shot-first player,when we are leading,he never passes the ball and just shooting 3s or drive to the rim and got blocked.Lowry never force to shot and he passes more to other players,that's why we win today...... ;)

    brooks actually did a nice job defending paul for the most part, the only thing is wafer can score better than him and lowry can pass better than him

    AB is a good shooter, it is his job to shoot. I am sick of you idiots not understanding that. Why do you think Rick liked Bibby so much. He wasn't just a passer, but a scoring/shooting threat

    Actually Brooks did pretty mediocre tonight on the defensive end guarding CP3,givin' Paul too many chances to shoot the ball and get his points.Aaron needs to work his tail off to improve his defense technique on how to defend the screen.

    Lowry did pretty awesome defense on Paul the entire second half,I was totes impressed with his performance.His strong body allows him to do more than AB. :D

    I like Lowry closing out the games. He doesn't panic under pressure and he keeps the offense rolling. He looks so confident out there, and that is what we need down the stretch when the intensity is at it's highest. That is how you close out games; don't panic, run the offense, play smart, and keep a level head.

    Rox actually win in 4th quarter. It is Lowry on the point guard. It is the differece of this game vs spur's game.

    I'm not saying that he cant shoot,I'm saying that Lowry do better than him in the 4th to keep teammates rolling,that's the most important part in the game,you cant shoot everytime ,I think Lowry do better than him.
    AB is a good shooter,but Lowry is a good PG,so,why not let Lowry to finish the game?

    Mike Bibby got average 6.5 AST per game in Sacramento and 8.1 AST per game in his sophomore season. AB is just 3.0 AST this season. Bibby>>>>>>>>Brooks.

    Agree with it.

    Someone said rox win cuz without Yao in 4th.

    In fact, it's Lowry to make Rox win in 4th quarter.

    in Other games, Adalm always use Brooks in 4th quarter.

    Tonight it's a wise dicision for Adalm, otherwise Rox would lose the game.

    It's a point guard's job to shoot? Isn't that what shooting guard is for? I think our starting shooting guard is Ron Artest, and he does a good job of throwing up shots. Maybe Brooks should start throwing up passes.

    He's a 40% shooter and a 36% three point shooter. If it is his job to shoot he needs to be fired.

    I believe Lowry has a competitive nature in him like Artest and Yao and Battier and Scola. This is what drive him to be great.

    Man, that's not true. Brooks did a lot of drive and dishes that resulted in open looks and esp. potential open 3s, but guys like Artest and Battier could not make them tonight. We were 4-20 from the 3-point line. That's not on Brooks.

    Lowry, OTOH, is a more creative and fluid distributor and so since our outside shooting was shaky, I think it made more sense going with him in the fourth quarter. Plus, physically, he matched up better with Chris Paul.

    But honestly, I get annoyed with all the silly Lowry vs. Brooks and Landry vs. Scola arguments. We're lucky to have GREAT tandems at both positions and a coach who knows how to be creative in his matchups. Who cares who starts and who finishes? Just enjoy it.

    AB is a scorer not a shooter. Glad to see Lowry finish the game tonight. He looks efficient out there on both ends of the floor.

    What you fail to understand that CP3 scoring 29 ends up being a loss for New Orleans because no else gets involved in the game. Just like Nash last week who went off on the Rockets for 32 and got an L. We only need AB and Lowry to make him work for everyone point and get into a game of one one one.
