    That was a shot that 9 times out of 10 T-mac would've taken if he was in the game. Aren't we all so happy he wasn't? That's about as clutch as you can get! Two three's in the last couple minutes. The Bandwagon has begun!

    Good luck with this. Apparently, there are a hand full of people on the board who prefer Brooks and Lowry to fail so they can be "right" about Rafer's value.

    They have there opinion which is fine, but do you think Rafer would have made that shot? I DON"T!!!!!

    I like my bandwagons a little bit fuller. Otherwise, at the end of the day I might find myself all alone on it.

    I don't think it will get empty but I'll wait nonetheless. Looks good so far though.

    Brooks had a solid game on the offensive side other than some turn overs. Shooting was definitely better than Rafer, but we knew that already. Defense on Barea though...

    I just remember how the Mike James band wagon turned out after he started hot last season.

    Based on Morey's comments after making the trade it seems that they think Lowry will be the starter eventually. If Rafer was the starter and they think Lowry is better than Rafer, shouldn't he be getting Rafer's minutes after learning the offense?

    I already knew he could light it up.

    I'm more concerned about his consistency and his decision making. That is HUGE. Tonight the decision making wasn't all that great. At times yes, but other times were big headscratchers.

    Hope that was due to nerves and needing more time with the 1st unit.

    He seems smart though and adjusts pretty quick so we'll see.

    Ive been on this bandwagon since I first saw AB play... I'm so glad that Morey sees the game like I do and could no longer stand for Alston's inability to play at the pg position.

    Been on the AB wagon cause he was a spark of the bench. Now that he's a starter....All aboard...next stop....when he gets torched by the likes of CP3, french fry, Billups, D Will, etc on defense. I see injuns attackin our lil bandwagon with "AB sux" threads.

    Let's face it, Jason Kidd was no threat.

    All I can say to the doubters is I told you so. I pray to god that they get better with each passing day. Yao looks happy and very comfortable in his leadership role.

    Better get used to it - its the same story with McGrady. People around here are VERY vindictive.

    I don't know dude, Aaron Brooks is a stud and everybody knows this guy has blazing speed and I already know he can score. I'm picky about Point guards, I prefer pass-first ones who drive often and kick it out and dish it out to shooters and big men to finish. I think Lowry is the answer for that part.

    Actually when we played the hornets earlier this season ab torched cp3 and cp3 couldn't handle him. I believe rafer was injured. The reason j kidd wasn't a threat is because our guards played him well. you should try givin credit where it's due. Barea pretty much had to be on fire for them to score. Rafer would not have done any better.

    Defense? Thats why DM traded for Lowrey who is suppose to be a pretty good defender.

    And yeah, i'm on board for the AB show.
