    To me, it's between Curry/Ellis and Brooks/Martin. Going to give a slight edge to Brooks/Martin.

    Brooks this game has been straight out Horrendous. Brooks/Martin definitely worst backcourt in the league when they're backed up by the 6'6 GAINT Chuck Hayes

    Yes they are a weak court defensively, but when Monta Ellis is hitting jumpers over the hands of Lee, Hayes, Battier, and anyone else who guards him, there's not much one can do. Not to mention, Curry is a great shooter as well.

    Ellis torched Battier and Lee....not Brooks or Martin.

    Ellis torched our whole team, whenever he wanted, however he wanted. Their backcourt severely outplayed ours. Notice how they didn't need any separation to shoot, they created their own. Meanwhile Brooks/Martin seemed uncomfortable with a man on their face. It was hard to watch, we just got firmly and handily beat by Ellis/Curry. Everybody else in their team just followed the leaders.

    Martin wasn't bad tonight. Just because their guards scored a lot, doesn't mean our guards were playing bad D. Lee played brilliant D, but Ellis was just hitting EVERYTHING. Also, Adelman inexplicably put Battier on Ellis. WTF.

    KMart played solid, and Brooks was horrible.

    Yes...Brooks dribbling the ball off his foot with 50 seconds left in the game pretty much sums it up.
