So you would rather the Rockets be bad just so you can be right about something? Sounds like the haters are actively rooting against him just to be correct. You know a sign of intelligence is when people are able to take new data and change their analysis of something. No one is going to be right about everything all the time, but the people who are not able to change their opinion due to an ego usually are self conscious about their own intelligence.
Lebron and klutch sports had all but banished Dillon brooks to China after last season. dillon brooks didn’t write back tho
I love this. I was neither here nor there at the signing but damn I love his swagger. The theatricality. The Svengali-esqe belief in himself. Basketball Rasputin!
A leader would not have called out the Grizzlies now that he is cooking......not mature but emotional..... If he had resentment, do it in the offseason.....
I’m all for it if it fuels brooks the way it has since the summer with fiba tournament . I’m sure they asked him questions and what’s he to do lie or avoid it ?
Fair enough but that just means he is not a leader per se which is fine. He could be one of the veteran players that lead during games. He should not be the one in front of the microphone, it was an ugly thing what was going on in Memphis but that one is for the offseason though. Especially when he plays better in response than him announcing something he cannot possibly execute. He should be grateful he is out of Memphis because Memphis was bound to have a bad season after all the good seasons they had over the last years. Suspensions and injuries included.
It seems like he has learned some lessons and also it helps Udoka being his head coach . I think Udoka was the perfect coach for him . I am pretty sure I read in that SI article Udoka saying “If you’re gonna talk back it up”. I love that . We are so lucky to be in the position we are ! All the dominoes fell the way they should have !
My response has nothing to do with how he plays, it was just directed at any player to not comment on things that should be put aside until the offseason to deal with. Memphis did not need him and moved on.....so should he. The only difference is he had beef with Lebron and then exited. The Rockets moved on players like Hartenstein, Capela, Garuba and other players as well.
But that’s the thing . Memphis does need him .. the proof is there with stats on both teams … also he has a way bigger impact on this team than those players had with us.. I don’t mind him taking about it right now . Like I said the questions were bound to be asked during the season . He’s not gonna back away from answering
Memphis is not mature to contend, they proved it with Morant not being a leader. That ship is about to sail. Dillon is never going to get a coach like Ime again, I mean he is basically playing better than in Memphis right now. Memphis is not Houston where they needed veteran guidance to be better, I think they have lots of other issues to deal with. Also their Offense is pretty bad, they should re-structure that, and that takes a major shakeup. Historically they had the best bigs like Pau, Marc Gasol, Zbo Randolph which bolstered their interior Defense and could pop on a dime. For now they are leaning on guards to deliver.
Dillon is a warrior. He was not liked because he did too much trashtalk. At the same time, he shot more than Morant and JJJ in some games. But Ime raised himself to such a level that he is not the same anymore. He turned into a completely different person.
