Are you comfortable with Brooks as starting PG in the playoffs?

OK, since we like mental jerking off, imagine we landed Brandon Roy and made a trade with Detroit for Billups and Prince. Those were real possibilities. Had JVG not won that stupid meaningless game against Denver, had Boston not made a trade with Por, had Min wanted Luther+8th owned by us, we would have had Roy.

Roy/Billups
Artest
Prince
Scola/Landry
Yao

 

AB may have more assists today, but he still completely ignored posting Yao after the 1st qtr.

You can't just look at stats. You gotta watch the game. Contrast all the easy lay-up/dunks that were being set up by Kobe with AB's assists---it's not even close.

 

I like Aaron but the only problem I have with his is the fact that HE IS NOT A PG.

He is a scorer and he is not gonna learn how to pass the damn ball.

 

Lowry is a better PG. Lowry is new, yet he already understands the gameplan and teammates better than AB. The only thing AB has above Lowry is 3 pt shots. But since AB has been struggling on that lately, Lowry is clearly a better PG overall.

 

How about Lowry? You know, the guy who's actually a point guard. Brooks is a SG trapped in the body of a mentally handicapped 8 year old.

 

I would rather we hadn't traded Rudy Gay, then we would play him in place of Prince. It's just a dream squad that will never come true... maybe Roy wouldn't have become a player as good as he is if he had been drafted by the Rockets, it makes us feel a little bit better at least...

Actually this squad shows hom much T-Mac values.. I'm sorry, that shows how much his salary is worth.

 

"Are you comfortable with Brooks as starting PG in the playoffs?"

my daughter has a rocking chair that i bought when she was 3 years old. i'm as comfortable seeing ab start as i sit in that chair.

i've felt UNcomfortable with ab ever since he became the starting pg. (look up my posts and y'all can see that.) i was feeling pretty comfy though, when he was playing off the bench...

looks like even geniuses like morey or adelman can fail sometimes.

 

yao said after the game that execution is the problem right now. we had like between 13 to 20 plays during a game where a set play was broken coz players were in the wrong spot at the wrong time we wont' have a chance comes of playoff time if this is not resolved and we are no better in this regard today as it was two months ago.

 

I can agree with that. But they are both completly different players. AB has been very inconsistent with his shot, but that's pretty normal. I have said it plenty of times. The biggest problem about Aaron and Lowry is the fact that they are young. They are gonna be better each season, they are gonna grow up.

I don't think it is the best idea to put a young, inexperienced player as a starter on a team that competes for a CHAMPIONSHIP. PG is probably the most important player on the court. That is why I still think we are gonna miss Rafer. He was a horrible shooter, he was a horrible finisher but at least he could really control the game without turnovers.

That is true. I have been saying that for a long time, Aaron is not a PG. He is used to playing as a scorer and you can't change your habbits all of the sudden. But he is young, he has a great potential. We can only hope that he will develop into a real playmaker this team needs.

He just doesn't look to pass and he doesn't make his teammates better. But you can't expect it from a guy who has been a scorer his entire carrer so far.

I like Lowry. He is a nice young player, big body who really can play defense. When he is on the floor he seems to have the whole team under control and he is a way better playmaker than Brooks.

BUT, his problem is shooting. People often underrate his midrange game, but his 3-point shooting is just horrible. Maybe he just doesn't have the range. Obviously that doesn't mean he can't be a great player in the future (look at Parker, even Rondo). He just needs to find a way to be effective on the court because teams like Lakers, Jazz are gonna leave him OPEN from the arc.

 

I honestly thought so for a while, but judging how he has done against SA & Parker, and how he struggled against a bullying Fisher tonight. He also has been absolutely pwned by Deron Williams and even Nash got him bad the other night. Defensively is where we miss Rafer here

 

Not at all. But we have no option on this.
Lowrey is not good enough either. Starting him won't help that much.
I think the only way to improve is to let Artest be the one who controls the ball and passes it to Yao if possible. To do this, the coach need to talk to him. The way he is playing now is definetely not working. But Artest is the only one that has some 1 on 1 ability other than Yao on this team and has the body and strength that can help passing the ball.
What Brooks should do is just carrying the ball to the front court and be a shooting guard waiting for C&S after that. Other than that, he is useless.

 

both AB and Lowry are better to come off the bench.

but who will you pick to start between them?

 

If Rafer is still here because we rejected the transfer deadline deal, I bet there will be a thread of

"We should have traded Rafer for Lowry at the transfer deadline"

 

Absolutely NO!!!

 

With Yao's window closing in a couple years, we need a good PG NOW!!!. It's a waste to develop TWO young PGs at the same time, meaning that the management doesn't have complete confidence in either. If Morey believes Lowry is a better "asset" than Alston, fine, let's give him benefit of the doubt, but PLEASE use the assets we have or that gigantic expiring contract to bring in someone better. It doesn't have to be DeWill, CP3, or Parker of the world - they are just too good to be true. Someone like Nasher, Biby, or Billups would be enough - who still have two or three good years left in them. You would think this is not too much to ask for.
GO TO WORK, MOREY. PLEASE.

 

AB is a joke at PG.....and once again this sit WANTED IT.

That guys right Yao should leave......this city doesn't want a good player they want a HARD player.

 

comfortable? terrible!

 

not comfortable at all

 

NOOOOOO. He is just not smart enough or he is simply not a PG. Why does he like hitting walls so much!?

I do think Kyle played much better and more stable than he did.
