The Rockets are doing the same thing over again. They don't have to keep trying to get the ball to Yao...

He is trying to find solutions to that fronting Yao defense. This is why he plays him.

Let's hope it's the reason,

otherwise, AD is a big loser. does he want Yao to break the foot again right before playoff?

Good thing this Minny team can't score...because the Rockets sure can't when Yao's fronted.

Actually in this game we have been pretty efficient against this scheme...we need more practice obviously but today was pretty productive.

I'm not a Brooks "lover" it just get annoying when people look to trash a player simply because one of their favorites was traded. The guy has a double-double, including 10 assists and people are b*tching that he's not an "every down" player and doesn't pass enough in the post or doesn't pass in transition. So if he doesn't pass in the post, doesn't pass in transition where is he getting all of these assists?

As a lot of people have mentioned in this thread already, many of brooks' assists come from swinging the ball around the top of the arc where someone will take and make a 3 (we do take a lot of 3s!). And if you get offended when people point out, quite aptly I might add, that Brooks is a less than stellar passer and doesn't have good court vision then you are a Brooks "lover."

I guess the reason why Yao's still in the 4th quarter is that Adelman wants to practice how to tackle fronting.

Is Tmac behind the bench? THat's 21 millions worth of spectator there. Don't anyone wrinkle his threads.

Nah I don't think Kneemac's sitting behind the bench. Otherwise we would have lost this game.

Yeah I see the same thing. I just looks like an anti Brooks agenda with some posters.

I'm not sure that Lowry will not eventually be the starter but I just don't think tonight is the night to b**** about AB. The first night he started after Rafer was traded he had a really good game but with 4 turn overs and they were saying he turned it over too much to be good...well tonight he has zero turn overs and a ton of points and assists. I guess that is still not good enough.

Aaron Brooks assists this game.

3 for Ron Artest 3's
2 for Scola at the top of the key
2 for Yao in the low post
1 for Battier for a 3
1 for Landry for 18 foot jumper
1 for a Lowry 3

I never said he didnt get the ball to the right spots, the only thing I thought he could work on was transition yet you change my words up...

I guess I'm a Lowry "lover" as well since I defended the guy just last week when people were calling him a scrub.
