    Kudos to batkins for capping this game. I miss the pre-douchebag Aaron Brooks that we all knew and loved. :(

    Man, he was quick. It's unfortunate, he just seemed to lose that incredible quickness after his ankle injury.

    Fun to relive. I miss those playoff days...

    I have no doubts that AB will be back in prime shape and playing top level basketball. Mostly everybody comes back from ankle injury. Some just take a little longer to come back. Watch out for AB next season.

    He's a good scorer, so he'll have his place in this L. Hopefully, he can find a team where he can have a jason terry-type role b/c he'll fit that role perfectly.

    He was perfect when we had Yao-Ron-Shane to make up for his other issues.


    Aaron Brooks fan for life...

    That 08-09 season was so much fun for us, I loved it. AB-Yao-Shane-Ron-Landry-Deke-Wafer. These guys are all gone now.

    The T-Mac owning Kevin Martin video by this user was pretty fun to watch too.

    Farmar got raped, even if it looked like the other way around. Brooks was great, no question.

    There's no need to feel bad in any capacity, though. Not because this is a business but Phoenix has some nice guys, at least for the moment. Well... Nash and Gortat, at least, seem to care.

    Somebody needs to show him this. He has forgotten what he can do.

    I still watch this game and Game 6 all the time. Those games were so much fun at the Toyota Center, some of my best Rockets memories.

    Loved the last play at the end, he basically took all 3 of LA's PGs at once (Sasha, Farmar, Brown) to the basket, and Sasha visibly frustrated...

    The knee injury killed AB's game.

    Brooks just needs to get his mind right, and try to regain confidence in his own ability. The guy was a beast back then and he's only 26, so maybe he can find that spark again.

    AB had a lot confidence before Manu tried to take a charge from half court with less than second to go till the half.

    Coming off his first serious ankle injury, then losing his starting job and then getting traded is a lot to take in one season.

    Brooks was a rising star. ****ing Ginobili ruined everything.
    Of course we did realize Kyle Lowry was great, but Kyle does not have a fraction of the potential Brooks has.

    Oh well.

    Kyle does have more heart it seems...
