Just like I said, AB is only effective when his shots are falling. He doesn't create for teammaets, he doesn't find people in right spots, he can't get the ball to Yao， his defense is poor. Same goes with Wafer. Too bad both of them don't have a very high career percentage, that means more often than not, they'll get Rockets in trouble.
There is a huge difference between Parker and Brooks. Parker's shooting is a lot more consistent. If Brooks can shoot like Parker, his weakness will be covered. After all, the goal is to have efficient scoring for the team. Too bad AB's shooting is inconsistent. At least for now. He's a very poor man's Steve Francis at this moment.
I defer to Steve Nash on this topic: "He killed us and made a couple of big plays at the end of the game," Nash said. "He's really turning into a terrific guard and the Rockets are going to have a guy for a long time who can handle this position."
Comparing aaron brooks to Von Wafer is an insult to Brooks. I don't know what game you watched tonight, but he dropped the ball into Yao the vast majority of plays when on the court together. In the first half he took nash off the dribble 2 or 3 times one on one, but other than that he ran things through Yao. Von Wafer on the other hand is a chucker. he made one pass in tonight's game in his minutes. every other time he got the ball he shot it afterwards.
When AB starts, the team is 12-3. In other words, we are .800 with AB starting. That's pretty good, no?
It doesn't make any sense. We also can easily get 22-0 while against those NBDL teams with my grandma plays for 10sec as a starter every game. AB is NOT a point guard.
The team is playing .800 ball with him starting. Who cares what how many times he feeds Yao. I don't care as long as the rockets win. Adelman is used to a scoring pg. Bibby, Porter are prime examples. Stop crying, the rockets won, move on.
Yeah right, so maybe we can have another 22 win streak and get knocked out in the 1st round too. When can you dummies understand regular seasons dont count ???? PG is our weakest link, period, if we dont address it .... well i guess TMAC will be laughing in April
Why not just be glad we have 2 terrific YOUNG point guards that have different skill sets? One is a passer and one is a scorer, one is small and fast, the other big and strong. When got enough to compete with anybody's point guards.
ALston absolutely sucked as a defender. I spent more time in my season ticket seats watching opposing PG's blow past Rafer than I care to think about. AB stays in front of his man much more than Rafer ever did. Rafer could dribble, protect the ball, and did a very average job of passing. His shooting sucked and he was the man responsible for the 4Q offense bogging down. He was probably about 25th out of 32 pg's in the league.
If we could blend them together to form one player, I'm sure AB and Lowry is a good PG. I'm confident that Rox can win the 1st round series; and I'm sure KL would be the starting PG next season.
if the boxscore shows Yao with less than 20-25pts, our PG are horrible... that's the bottom line and nothing else matter to these folks I for one is so glad superstar Rafer, arguable the worst starting PG for the past few seasons, is gone. AB does sux when he's not hitting his shots, but when he does, he's pretty awesome. He will become more consistent. But for now, when he doesn't hit his shots, you can bring in and finish with Lowry who is fairly consistent.
Thanks ... I forgot about that slant. Suppose a team will always double Yao hard after the catch with the opposing PG. Should Yao still get 10 shots per game? Should AB not shoot on the pass out? You play against the defense for the best shot. If it is ABs, HE HAS TO TAKE IT.
