Before i bow out of his useless exchange of words, pleas,please watch the guy get rubbed off and loses his balance on the down screen which left shane wide open. It had zero to do with staying close and everytthing to do with setting a great pick. In you uneducated basketball world, maybe it looks different, but to everyone else with any idea aboutt basketball, the picure is clear.Why don't you go back to ymm.com and sac ride over there. This is the rockets web site.
LOL. when you can't handle the truth, you ask me to go to some website I've never been to. Look closely, at 0:25 mark, why a guy who was supposed to guard Battier stayed closer to Yao while Battier was standing at his favorite spot? If he stayed closer to Battier, Yao wouldn't be faster enough to set that kind of pick, and Battier wouldn't had an open shot like that. It's quite clear that Blazer's higher priority is to deny Yao's ball, and with your "college basketball player knowledge" you can't see that. My guess is you must have mad athleticism to stay on a college hoop team, if you really played on one.
Do you understand a down screen? Can you not see roy getting picked and battier and shane getting free. It was a designed,opening tap play! Nevermind. Like i said before,ymm.com is begging for you to come back.
Wow, please watch again. Do you see Roy was standing there face to Yao and leave Battier open when Yao is approaching to the post? You are in denial mode again. You said one thing right. It's a designed play. It's designed by Blazers to stop Yao from getting the ball. Because they know what that would mean to them. How about I create a "ABisGod" website and you go there first?
That team again will be a first round out team. AB's below average decision making doesn't warrant him to create offense all the time if he doesn't improve his game by a lot. If Yao comes back healthy and getting single coverage in half court, give the ball to Yao almost certain will result in better shots than AB's creation.
AB's decisionmaking is fine and has steadily improved over the course of the season. It will only be better next season. Little known fact: Brooks turns the ball over at a lower rate than D-Will, Nash, Rondo, Westbrook, Parker, or Davis. And yet they constantly get lauded here as being great decisionmakers while Brooks gets bashed. And before you start harping on assist numbers remember that Daryl Morey has said multiple times that point guards will always have lower assist numbers in Rick Adelman's system than they would elsewhere. Furthermore, Brooks played with a starting lineup including Chuck Hayes, Shane Battier, and Trevor Ariza for the majority of the season. Before the Martin trade, he was playing with one of the worst offensive starting lineups in the league. After the trade, his assist numbers have been slowly creeping up.
francis and cat were much better at the back door play. but I think our current guys have more potential and play better within our system.
What do you call the secondary defender who shades towards Yao to prevent the Rockets from lobbing the ball over the fronting defender towards the rim?
Nope, Brooks certainly isn't a franchise player. Don't franchise players talk about imposing will or something after scoring 10 of the last 13 and dishing the assist for the 3pointer that someone else hit?? :grin:
His usage is lower than most of them so his turnover rate will be lower as well Everything else I agree with though
One quarter doesn't define a franchise player. Carl Landry in his half season had more clutch 4th quarter than Brooks in an entire season, and Landry is not a franchise player.
You gotta be kidding. You compare D-Will, Nash, Rondo, Westbrook, Parker' TO with AB's but don't compare their Assists, how selective can that be? A better indication of decision making is not number or assist or TOs, but Ast/To ratio. All of those guys I believe are having much better Ast/To ratio than AB, and are better decision makers. Oh, Morey said in RA's system PG doesn't get very high assists, fine. But did Morey say in RA's system PG gets high TOs? I don't belive TA would use a low assists high TOs system, and that showed AB's below average decision making right there, and we have witnessed that for an entire season. Lowry played in RA's system too, he averaged more assists per minute and less Tos per minute, and most posters here know Lowry is a better decision maker than AB. Over the season, AB has made a lot progress especiallyat scoring and becoming a clutch player. But his decision making skill is still below par among NBA's staring PGs.
No, that's not my agenda. That's the fact. As you can see before, Yao getting single covered when he was healthy, Rockets scored more efficient than this year. Who is the most efficient scorer on Rockets now? Do you really belive AB take more shots than Yao/Martin is the best thing for Rockets? If so, please don't call yourself a Rockets fan.
Who was ragging on Brooks turnovers? Oh yeah...Chewy....... How many turnovers did Yao average a game again. CASE CLOSED !! DD
Yao getting touches is in Rockets interest. If AB becomes a more efficient scorer than Yao, I'll call for AB getting all the shots. Thanks for putting on the ignore. I understand losers normally can't handle consistently getting owned. That's the best thing to escape.
