Yes thank you, that is awesome of you to do that.

 

Thank you for the recap professorjay

 

In other words, we want him to play SG when he's on the court. Forget the facilitator, floor leader stuff. Those extra responsibilities hinder his game and his strengths. That's why we should start Lowry and let Brooks come off the bench to give us just his scoring, ex. Mike James in the 04-05 season. Let Lowry worry about starting up the offense, since he's more suitable for that.

 

I don't think the Rockets are looking to changing anything as long as we're winning. If Brooks's shoot slump persists through the upcoming tough schedule and we start to drop a lot of these games, I think a change is possible. But Adelman is a loyal coach, and he'll stick with his starters through rough stretches. It could take an injury to Aaron and very poor play for a good stretch for Lowry to take over that spot this year.

 

But our rotation's second unit consists of a bunch of finishers- Landry, Wafer mainly. No one on the second unit is a facilitator. Without a floor general the 2nd unit would be chickens with their heads cut off. On the first unit at least we have a tall ball handler in Artest and Yao who is doing a good job facilitating the offense after he is doubled teamed. I think Brooks' scoring ability does not conflict with Yao and Artest's offense because he can catch and shoot as well and Brooks also runs a mean pick and roll with Scola.

I can see Lowry finishing games though.

I think it'll come down to matchups against our opponent's personnel that determines who gets more playing time between our two PGs.

 

Thanks for the recap!

Re: DD and Brooks:

OK, I hear that Our veterans don't care - - but I'll NEVER buy that!!!

 

Thanks for the recap. Great work!

 

Thanks, everyone.

And...

 

Why not? Battier, Barry, Yao and Scola all strike me as the wins first stats second type through and through, Deke doesn't play hardly, Chuck is defense first.

So the only veterans I can think of who would care are Ron and T-mac, but T-mac is out so if he cares right now it doesn't matter anyway. And my guess is, Ron doesn't really care either as long as he gets to play basketball.
