Wondered what happened to him last night. This kinda sucks. I really like Brooks, but he can't be pulling this crap off.
Bye Bye AB! Let's see some T-Will out there! Inexcusable immaturity on AB's part. Scola did not get an extention, neither did Lowry last season, did they mope around like this? No. You are a professional athlete, act like one.
No coincidence we won our first OT game of the season without Brooks in there to chuck up late shots that don't go in. Plus, his shots tend to be early in the shot clock as well, with rebounds that fly pretty far out and allow for easy transition points at the other end. It's just like how we used to be with Tracy. We love ya...until the shots stop falling. Then it's just bad offense. If you run the play and get a good shot that doesn't fall, that's one thing. But Brooks at the end was tensing up. It's like he had never had any of the experience of playing in the clutch that he accrued last year and in the playoffs two years ago. He just sucks now. It's as if they took someone from the stands and told him, "it's all on you big boy, you've got to make the shot to win it for us!" Except Brooks is supposedly an NBA player. Maybe it's like one of those John Malkovich deals. Right now John Cusack is controlling Brooks and spending all his free time practicing his puppeteering instead of working on his game.
If I was D. Morey, I would definitely be looking into shopping him around over other players. His performance and mental instability could affect the growth of the other young players...
I agree at this point I would love to see T Will get some PT. He seems to have really good court vision, can be a major spark when the offense is slumping but who knows how Adelman will handle it, he seems to loyal to his "originals"
Yep. I think it is the best move for both partners here. Package AB with some other players and let's see what we can get. Only 3.5 out of 8th.
Most working stiffs would be terminated if they acted the way Brooks. I guess job abandonment is a concept that is beyond Brooks' understanding. I think it would be a pretty good guess that he will be traded before the trading deadline. Anything close to a fair trade and Morey will pull the trigger.
Add Battier, Yao, and Chuck to that list for this season. Two players in the starting line-up. I'm curious as to what Brooks will say about the Rockets...after he's traded. Chuck didn't win MIP, and probably won't be considered for it this year... But no one can argue that he has significantly improved.
You are absolutely right. At some point Aaron needs to look in the mirror, accept responsibility and act like a professional. He's not exactly a teenager anymore.
he's been suspended for just 1 game but that doesn't necessarily mean that when he comes back, that adelman will play him we've seen with stacy how adelman can hold a grudge, so brooks might have himself in the doghouse at the end of the bench now (until he's traded)
