Petition to take Brewer and Jones out of the rotation

Someone please make this happen.

These two on defense are arguably worse than harden. Ty Lawson finally starts playing like himself and he has to be in lineups featuring these two scrubs.

Also please give Thornton regular rotation minutes.

TIA

 

I hope so. Trade them to take them out of the rotation.

 

Actually that's a large part of how the stock market works. But that's besides the point. Doesn't necessarily work when Brewer and Jones are killing their own value.

His defense alone is enough to always make it bad.

 

I don't know where you leaped to that conclusion from.

 

Again you're jumping to weird conclusions.

Those two are a big problem because they are a significant part of the rotation and severely underperforming on both ends, especially defense. Meanwhile they are the most easily replaceable.

It makes perfect sense to target those two.

While others who were playing poorly, such as Lawson and Beverley have improved since their disastrous start, these two have not.

It's obviously the entire team faltering. But it has to be addressed in a logical way. Take care of the weakest links first.

 

They've both been in the league long enough.

What you see is what you get. They've been like this and will continue to be like this.

At least when Brewer is at his best he is a significant contributor as a slasher and in the open court. His defensive shortcomings can be overlooked at those times. At least until the coach decides to put him on the opposing team's best player when Ariza is on the bench.

They should put Harden on those players when Ariza is on the bench to make him accountable. At least he has the ability unlike Brewer, whose only assets on defense are his steals.

Jones provides nothing. Poor defense. Gets killed in pick and rolls. Poor rebounding. And on offense, he used to be good at finishing at the rim but he has severely regresses in that regard. Capela has overtaken that role anyway.

And yes. You did jump to an odd conclusion that I think these two are responsible for everything wrong with the Rockets.

They are responsible for a share of things that can be easily rectified by trading them or taking them out of the rotation. Compare that with trying to solve Harden's issues or a number of other bigger problems we have. Getting rid of these two is patchwork that is needed.

 

If you don't have anything to add to the discussion (point of a forum) feel free to ignore the thread. No one is making you post. It's better than whining about threads you don't like.

I checked the last few pages and there wasn't a topic specifically discussing these two.
