Not sure if anyone notices it, but Scola´s defense which is one of his biggest weakneses has improved significantly "stats wise" this season. This is his fifth consecutive game with at least one block and is averageing 0.85 blocks per game, way avobe his 0.2 bpg career average. Seems like his help defense at least is improving, gotta improve on 1-on-1 defense.
Brooks didn't look bad in tonight's game, even though he looked lost a little bit, but still it's his first game from the injury and scored 6 points off-the bench, really looking forward when he is 100%.
I thought he looked very rusty and out of sync... even though he did hit 3 three-pointers, he couldn't find a rhythm with the second unit, and had serious issues handling the ball.
Agreed, I'm sure he'll get back into it, but turnovers due to poor dribbling are unacceptable from your PG. I actually agree with Bullard, Brooks looked better when Brad Miller was facilitating the offense and he's free to look for his shot.
Terrence Williams will be keeping the pine warm for our guys. Don't expect him to play unless its a blowout or we have injuries.
Someone posted an interesting idea yesterday which appears to make some sense now. For better or worse, Lee has been playing pg with the second unit. If Brooks is going to be eased into the rotation, let him come in as a s/g and let Lee handle the p/g duties, until Brooks regains his abilities. Tomorrow's game with the Warriors is a dangerous game for Brooks. He is going to get run by their quick guards.

I like the idea of Lowry starting at PG all year and Brooks coming in as a 6th man and as a scoring threat off the bench and in the 4th quarter
Or just let Brooks figure it out, and if he struggles pull him.....no harm in letting him find his way while we are winning. DD
I think RA will mix and match. Brooks will get more time. He is a talented scorer,who can be a secondary passer. I expect Lee will play as a backup 1 against Rose,Westbrook,D-Will,etc for defensive purposes. Aaron should go up against the weaker PG's. Lee is also needed at the 2,to help Martin out.
Yes he and Battier are blocking shots better than I thought either would be capable of at this point. JHill's about the only guy with the ability to really change shots too, though.
Did anyone see the outfits by the Kings power dancers? they were like nighties, our power dancers need some of those in red! Oh yeah, great game by hill and shane. Nice to see what defence looks like.
The Yahoo Sports summary of the game said that Brooks has been out with a STRESS FRACTURE OF HIS ANKLE!!!!! That is the first I have heard of this, did I just miss it or is this false information?
Well, they look so much alike, it is easy to do. But, seriously, Brooks was out a very long time for an ankle sprain, was it a fracture?
