    I remember AB passing up a 3 he would've taken under Adelman. I think it's the system of our team that's holding him back. If I were him, I would think about playing for the T-wolves next season... not that I want to see him go though

    this system tells you to pass up open 3's? Please, it has many flaws but thats not one of them.

    How did he lead his China team to the finals last year?

    Even if he's not 100% as prolific as in 2009, he can be way better than Delfino and others who we expect to rain down those 3s.

    Can't understand why McHale didn't think he could be a useful weapon during games when Harden and Lin are struggling.

    Let me ask you these simple questions:

    1. Why did a good chunk of CF wanted him bench in favor of Lowry even before Lowry proved he could shoot?
    2. Why did Houston trade him instead of letting him recover and then play him?
    3. Why did the Suns withdraw their qualifying offer to him, making him a free agent?
    4. Why did the Kings not only bench him but waive him?
    5. Why did not a single team pick him up while he was on waiver?
    6. Why did not a single team offer him a better contract than the one year deal he got from the Rockets to be insurance?

    The answer is even more simple, AB even before his injury, was not that good. After his injury he is just a scrub in the NBA now. The injury took a lot of his speed away it seems and while that can hack it in other leagues, in the NBA what we have is a one trick pony that now has questionable speed. If he was still a 20/5/2+ TO player, he would be in this league, not clearing waivers.

    boy, why so much hate vs. AB?

    Well, when we're struggling shooting from the outside, who's your better option then?

    Lin keeps misfiring and Beverley doesn't shoot enough. Harden hit just 1 3pt shot and Parsons' focus on defending Durant took him out of his offense.

    I'd say there's a reason the FO got him.

    I'll bet anything Brooks takes Lin's minutes the second he makes a bonehead turnover or comes out scared.

    Mostly a stupid post... the parts that aren't stupid are mostly dumb. Why did Jeremy Lin get waived twice. Why did Mark Gasol, Chandler Parsons, Ginobli, calvin Murphy go undrafted till the second round. Why did Dennis Rodman get dumped and go onto to be amazing with the Bulls.

    Why why why... your stupid post proves nothing and only brings more questions. Brooks was never given a look and he is one of the few players on the team with Playoff experience. Anyone with half a brain can see he is just as fast as ever. The coaches said they liked his shooting. It seems we could use some shooting. It is stupid not to even make an attempt to work a player in who has proven he can contribute in the playoffs. And not just contribute but take over an offense in the biggest venue.

    It would be different if he got a shot and failed. That never happened. If we can play Lin and Beverly we can play Lin and Brooks. It is mostly irrelevant. Brooks is not going to beat OKC. Just stupid not to even give him a look. Stupid post not to get that.

    This guy has the IQ of a watermelon. Kudos to you for even bothering to reply to his post but don't waste anymore of your energy. There is no logic behind his arguments. Just one more person on my ignore list is all.

    Posting highlight videos doesn't do jack to your argument.

    Yup, we already knew what AB brought to the table. We are still waiting what your "man crush" PB will bring to the table.
