    It's just not a possibility. In today's, especially with pg's becoming more and more dominant, you cannot have a 5'10, skinny pg as a starter. I'm not even talking about all the mistakes he made on offense today, he's still a better shooter and scorer than Kyle, but Kyle is light yrs better on defense. He might be one of the best shooters we have, have a ton of speed, but there is no way to cover up his lack of size on D. Imagine him checking Deron, or Cp3, or even a role player like Fisher would have a field day

    Finally,it happens . our PG is blowed away. I agree with you. AB shouldn't be starter.He even doesn't know how to pass the ball to Yao

    AB dribbles too much, and doesn't have a clear mind

    he's better off the bench right now if Lowry started.

    just try Kyle as a start PG. It is better to change before the 1 round is coming

    I can't just blame on Aaron Brooks for this loss because the team failed to execute at the end. Mike Bibby is as bad as Aaron Brooks when it comes to playing defense so i have no problem with Aaron starting. They failed to get Yao the ball when he is fronted...THAT IS THE PROBLEM!!

    They failed to run play in which Artest should be posting up rather than shooting 3s and try to be the hero. Adelman failed to rest some of the players properly so i think they were tired because he overused them.

    It reminds me the guy who's name is Steve Francis, plus that Brooks refuses to give up the ball. Yao can get the ball for six min, that is rare.

    aaron is also the reason they couldn't get the ball to Yao.He doesn't undertsand how to set up post entry deliveries. He is simply not a point guard he is better off the bench.

    based only on height AB is not a center.

    based only on color, AB is not white.

    based only on this game, AB always shoots 2-7.

    Brooks and Wafer are the two most overrated players on Rox. They are only effective when their shots are falling.

    They are just a quicker version of Luther Head at this moment. I have no idea why people are so excited about those two.

    people underestimate how important the PG's defense is.


    while you do the defense work, close the front gate first.

    Based on the season AB shoots 39%, can't get the ball to Yao, can't run the offense smoothly, and worse yet, can't defend.

    He had a bad game, I can't excuse the guy. I'm just amused at how he has gone from AB-Hero back to AB0 in about three games on the BBS.

    I've been saying AB's overrated for a long time. As bad as Rafer shoots, he runs the team better. Rox played the best offense this season when Tmac sits and Rafer was running the show.
    Even though Rafer is not the long term solution, replace him with Brooks still makes Rox weaker, at least for this season anyway.
