Is Aaron Brooks good or bad? Does he actually contribute to winning??

How foolish you could be! idiot!

 

We have to admit that he is a really good player when he plays as the sixth man. But if he starts, his shortcoming will be blown up. For his stature, he can't play pick-and-roll and defense well. He is a real SG, but not PG.

 

get a playmaking wing and we're set. brooks just scores and that's his role. notice how von wafer plays well b/c he only has one thing in his mind?

with brooks, we give him more responsibilities than he can handle right now. and he's doing a decent job. if he can have someone making plays for him, the way he can shoot, oh my.

 

because you asked some ignorant questions that you could have found out yourself. to solely blame AB for Yao's lack of shots is pretty ignorant.

My suggestion is still for you to download the game and figure it out yourself.

 

There is only one truth about the Rockets: When Yao dominates, the Rockets dominate.


The Rockets win/lose doesn't depend on Brooks too much.

From NBA.com (08-09 season):
Home games (33-8) : Brooks's FG% is .373 averaging 9.7 FGA, 3.6 FGM & 10.3 PPG;
Road games (20-21) : Brooks's FG% is .434 averaging 9.8 FGA, 4.3 FGM & 12 PPG.

Brooks actually had a higher FG% for road games than home games - +6% FG% & + 1.7 PPG for road games. But the Rockets road record was 20-21 and the home record was 33-8, the Rockets were +13 wins at home with Brooks bad shootings.

Brooks higher FG% at road was probably the results of opponents defense on Yao at their homecourts which left Brooks more open.

 

They were fronting Yao the entire game, so saying it's as simple as he just didn't pass it to him is deceiving. I only saw a couple times when Yao got position and AB didn't give him the ball.

The entire team takes the blame for not being able to find ways to get Yao the ball, AB gets part of that blame.

We still shot a decent percentage, but thsoe shots aren't going to be falling all series.

 

This thread, your posts in this thread, and yourself are all laughable. I'm not wasting more time on some kid freaking out that his hero only got 6 shots and blaming AB because the little kid didn't see the rest of the game.

Again, download the game and figure it out yourself.

 

We don't need him to play out of his head.....We need him to play with his heart, and play with composure and team work.

When the game was just a 1-point game and on the line with 3 minutes left, he should have controlled the tempo/rhythm, slowed it down and grind it out for the win.

Insteads poor defense and 2 careless turnovers to let the TrailBlazers took a 8-point lead over that curcial stretch.

If Kyle Lowry was there instead of him, the outcome of this game could be different.

 

I cannot believe you are still saying this. If we had gotten the 2nd seed, we would've beaten Dallas which would make them the 7th seed and we would play them w/o having potentially sacrificing hc in the 2nd round vs the 2 seed. Are you really this dense?

 

why do you start threads if you don't watch half the game?
never mind making assumptions on what happened based on stats.

This is a knee jerk reaction thread like 90% of threads here.
Calm down, its 1-1.

 

he's still young. and again, i don't expect for him to be able to "control" a game b/c he doesn't have those PG tendencies, and probably never will.

but after YEARS of complaining our guards can't shoot and no one steps up to score besides our stars, we finally have this guy who is ON FIRE in the playoffs and we're complaining about the guy?

like i said, once we get a playmaking wing, aaron brooks will be really good.

 

If you watched the game, you would hate AB's guts.

 

just like first game, half of his points came after the game is decided. He need to do better in the 1st 2 quarters

 

Fixed that for you free of charge.

 

You would think AB stole his girlfriend or beat him up in middle school.


To quote Rick Adelman:


"we just weren't patient enough."


Thats not JUST on Brooks. But Artest, Battier, Wafer, Scola, Lowry, Landry, Hayes.

 

haha!
