    If we can get the 2009 version of Aaron Brooks playing, I think he would be an awesome spark off the bench.

    If people are terrified of his 3 ball, he will blow past them incredibly easily.

    Aaron Brooks would be a better 6th man type of player than Lin. Lin has had some great this year but still tends to sulk and disappear at times. Brooks is a true gunner which is what we need. We need our equivalent of Jamal Crawford or Nate Robinson and Brooks is the closest we have.

    Please McHale don't permabench him after Harden comes back. Limit Harden's minutes so AB can still get 10+ minutes a game.

    It's nice to see he's still a fan favorite. The crowd's always making a lot of extra noise for him when he makes shots or takes breaks. (DD where ya at?)


    26/5/4....6/7 from the 3.
    Bye bye Lin, Harden, and Bev!

    AB is the "irrational confidence guy" we need off the bench.

    He is a starting caliber PG - a good ball scoring point.

    We are lucky we have him as our 3rd string PG.

    +1. Good comparison w/ Nate. Fearless veteran on offense, isn't afraid to miss shots or disappoint... give the man more PT!

    Career HIGH? LOL - WTF?

    AB can play, he is a starting caliber scoring PG - he needs the ball in his hands though to get a rythmn going and sometimes that is not going to happen.

    He is good as a starter or an energy guy off the bench - to have him as the 10th ish man on the team - wow that is depth.

    Harden should be learning how to play the game without the ball sticking - if he wants to win he needs to WATCH.

    Hard to believe we were able to grab him (again) -- there are several teams he could be starting for IMO.

    I think he is happy in Houston and knows that they might make a trade above him to free up some time....
