    Boby Jackson has given us nothing, and we really need a play maker aside from Tmac and Rafer. I say that Boby Jacksons minutes should go to AB and Luther head.

    Also on thing I have noticed that Luther has started to drive a lot, but is not getting enough minutes..

    Brooks, sure why not. Sir Brick-A-Lot can't be any worse.

    im on the anti-bobby jackson bandwagon. i keep hoping and eagerly await the day he makes me eat my words with a big play, but excluding the dallas game he's played horribly. adelman trusts him so he must do something right, but it sure is hard to see what. if dribbling out the clock is all you're looking for, im pretty sure brooks could do it and maybe make a layup while he's at it.

    Bobby Jax has been OK at best....But AB has been WORST at best.

    I'd take experience at the PG position over developing AB.

    BJax has REALLY played poorly as of late. Except for the Chicago and Dallas game, he has sucked. Play AB, i trust him more.

    Yes. Brooks deserves another chance.

    i dont know where this comes from. bjax got his pocket plundered multiple times by jannero pargo. i have much more trust in brooks to handle the ball without getting straight ripped over and over. bobby may play with energy, but even at 110% he's about 50% as quick as aaron brooks, and correspondingly poor ball handling. they're both struggling from the field, but at least brooks has room to improve. what we're seeing out of bjax are pretty much his CAREER numbers (and that's a long career).

    jax lost minutes to pargo in NO.

    that is a real sign that hes past his contrbuting days.

    however, in the playoffs those kind of vets prove their worth.

    As Rafer has proven, you can't judge the quality of PG play just by whether the player is hitting shots. Jackson knows our system, he's a veteran, and he'll make better decisions than Brooks. Adelman is going to stick with him, unless things really get out of hand.

    You have forgotten just how bad AB was playing. From my standpoint, he was basically in meltdown mode. He forgot how to pass, wasn't hitting his shots and wasn't playing any defense. The Rockets had no choice but to get another backup PG. I want to see a different AB next November.

    Right Bobby's having really tough time. He just cant make any shoot. That's frustrating but I belive he will get it rolling quickly. I really belive he can help us in the playoffs, he is a veteran.

    As for Brooks - I love this guy but only when he understands that nobody can stop him with his speed. I don't like his 3pt shooting. We may try even Jackson+Brooks backcourt when for example Luther is useless like he was tonight.

    ab was playing bad for a stretch, but he has shown that he's good. he needs to play. he's the fastest player in the NBA bar NONE. that has to be useful.

    I like Brooks but he's too wild and green. The little guy get stuff too often when he's going for a layup.

    It may take AB a couple of years to figure it out. I'm disappointed he regressed after showing promise earlier in the season but that's the way it is with rookies. His day will come.

    I don't know, I think we should start making changes around our 24th victory in row.
