    Playoff push where? Where are the rox going with lowry or brooks starting? Are they beating La? What about Sa? Utah? They might get lucky and play the hornets,mavs, or nuggets. Other than that, theyre 1 and out anyway with lowry or brooks starting.

    so unless you have a clear chance of being at least to the conf. finals, you'd go into a rebuild mode?

    The worse place to be is in the middle. Once Tracy went down, everything changed even though i didn't think they were beating La anyway. Once tracy went out, its basically over for the group. What managemnt is going to do now is rebuild on the fly and hope the young players can get better faster than yao will decline. Thats one reason rafer was traded and that another reason why i think battier will be traded this summe or at least someone else will be brought in to play his spot moving him to the bench. Thats kinda what Sa has done except duncan is better or has won more than yao. Morey will try to get younger, but not to young and quicker. Its rebuilding, but its not like tanking/

    Not hating, just simple statistical truth, I don't hate him, but I blame him for doing or trying to much. He's not a superstart, and will not ever be one, so please, take your roles, take less shot, do some basic PG jobs :mad:

    How would you make that conclusion out? As a start PG, with no assist, if he don't take the blame, who should take it?

    He can take 28 even 38 shots, I don't care, but AS PG, for gods sake, he need to involve him teammates, not jacking up the shots. Seriouly, there is something wrong with AB, I don't know what he's thinking

    hmmm, that' s not true. the game was pretty much tied when Lowry was playing PG in the 4th.

    And the second part doesn't really worth replying, only bad shot? that's so not true.

    U need shut up, even TMAC would dish out one or two assist, IS AB better than TMAC, don't make a excuse for a poor performance of our starting PG, he need to learn how to assist, and he need to know, he's still a fxcking role player, and he's not a star yet, period

    Yes and no.
    It matters only in so much Adelman ALWAYS let his starters finish out the game.

    not to mention his DEFENSE is horrible...he was 2 or 3 steps behind parker all night...

    parker had 28 pts and 8 assists...so he contributed for 44 pts...brooks just the 18...
    then on defense, Artest and Battier kept leaving Finley open because they had to help Brooks guard PArker when he penetrated...so part of finley 17 pts should be blamed on Brooks..
    its time to bring Brooks off the bench...a 5-10 PG that weighs 170 lbs that can not defend and does not have good bball IQ should not be starting....bench player at best...lowry is much better for this team...i hope they make the switch quick..before the playoffs...

    STARTING PG OF THE TOP TEAMS:

    :) Lakers
    Derek Fisher : 10.5 Points and 3.4 assists(Kobe has average 4.9assists)
    :) Celtics
    Rajon Rondo: 11.5 points and 8.4 assists
    :) Cavaliers
    Mo Williams: 18 Points and 4 assists ( LBJ has average 7.2 assists)
    :) Jazz
    Deron Williams: 18.7 points and 10.5 assists
    :) Denver Nuggets
    Chauncey Billups:18.9 Points and 6.1 assists
    :) Trail Blazers:
    Steve Blake:10.8 Points and 4.9 assists( Roy has average 5 assists)
    What about Spurs,New Orleans,Hawks??You name it! Magic? at least the have Rafer NOW!



    :mad: Houston Rockets
    Aaron Brooks: 10.9 points and 3.1 assists ( Ron has average 3.1 assists and Tracy average 5 assists)

    From above we can see

    1.Starting PG of Houston has the least assists in the Top Teams

    2.If the starting PG has 5 assists or less.ALL The Top teams have a MVP player or Superstar to contribute more than 5 assists.

    3.With Tracy in the team .It is OK That AB and Tracy can contribute 8.1 assists together.The number of the assists is still the least.(But with the poor performence of Tracy ,we will meet the scoring Problems)

    4.With Ron and Tracy out .The number of the Assists is not acceptable at all.

    5.We beat LBJ .Because LBJ has 0 assists in that game and Mo williams is also a PG with only 4 assists per game .Mo get assists in that game.

    :eek:
    Finally,What I wanna say is Bench AB if the team doesn't have a superstar like Kobe ,Lebron or at least a Roy.

    Try Lowry as starting PG if we have a strong scorer like Ron .

    If the true T-MAC is back ,I don't care who is the PG

    If the unhealthy Tracy is Back, start AB to score more

    For the present Roster,We need more assists in the Starting roster.AB will be a good Player coming off the bench but he is not qualified as the starter. He even doesn't have the the starting PG potential as Lowry has .

    IMO, once Drexler declares that "Brooks is a top 5 PG in the league", the switch to Lowry will be made.

    By Position G MIN FGM-FGA FG% 3PM-3PA 3P% FTM-FTA FT% STL BLK TO PF OFF DEF TOT AST PTS
    As Start G 19 33.1 4.8-11.8 40.625 1.9-4.8 .391 2.3-2.8 83.019 0.89 0.05 1.9 2.2 0.7 2.7 3.4 4.7 13.8

    It looks like brooks is 13.8ppg and 4.7 asst as a starter.

    lol. I think you meant when Drexler calls Brooks a "darkhorse candidate to make the all-star team".

    PG with no assist is a joke, something like centers without a rebound...

    I have total confidence in our PGs. I think Lowry will eventually start probably next season. This is me probably being a homer but I believe: both have all-star potential.

    I actually think Artest on offense has been the problem. The guy takes too many ill-advised shots and not within the flow of the offense.
