    I've stood next to Aaron Brooks at a club and spoken to him. The guy is around 5'7" and 150 lbs. He's playing well, but he has a few things working against him. His size, weight, and the chance of him being exploited defensively (not to mention probably getting the rookie treatment from refs) are going to limit him. For playoff sucess this season, Francis and/or James need to be incorporated into the rotation and need to be playing well. Both have playoff experience. James is a good perimeter defender and Francis (if healthy and playing well) adds a whole new dimension to the Rockets. I hope the rookie getting all this playing time over them will light a fire under their butts and bring out the best in both of them. It's going to be interesting to watch Brooks play against Golden State.

    Oh come on...he's short, but he's not 5'7. I don't think he makes 6', but there's no way he's 5'7!

    I kid you not...The most I willing to give him is 5'8" or 5'9"...nothing more than that. I was shock by how short he actually was.

    Feigen basically said that Brooks would not be playing much tonight, bc of the Baron Davis matchup.
