Well, The point is that Brooks can not make a good decision, that is why many people question if he is a future PG for this team. As a starting point guard, he could have 0 or one assist in whole game, that is bad news for the team. Of course, he is a better shooter than Lowry, if not, why is he a starter? Lowry is better than Brooks in everything except the shooting, which is only thing that can limit him for a very good point. As for Brooks, hoping that he can learn more as a point guard.
Not at all. I still stand that a veteran player would be more consistent in what he brings, and in Kidd's case got better as he went on towards teh end of his career. Brooks is still young and new to starting. His percentage will eventually get to where it should be. It goes back to what I said about Alston of last year. Was he a 25% shooter in the beginning of the year because his statsheet said so? Or was he a 35% shooter in a slump? Brooks is IMO a 44-46% shooter who will find his range eventually. Also, I might have said it in this thread, but Brooks poor shooting around the basket brings his numbers down for the shots we want him taking(midrange Js and 3s.) I think Aaron is about 45-50% inside the arc but outside the paint. And obviously he is very good at almost 39% from 3 as a starter. Its his layups that drop his FG%.
Brooks might be a 45-50% shooter when he takes open shot only. If he can shoot around 50% consistently, then shoot more, I'll have no problem with that. But right now he's only 41% shooter and 11 shots for him is too much, not too few. That's point.
Facts: Yao is a superstar. Almost evey NBA coach and player says that. Rcoeks are a mediocore offensive team because their PG position is weak. Game won by efficient points. 85 points per100 possesion is terrible offense, 85 points per 50 possesion is great offense.
you think that is good for his team? look at MAVs team since they got Kidd...A PG without shooting enough== liability, even at Kidd's level.
You know nothing about NBA time after time from your posts. Mavs struggle not because of offense. It's because of defense. They are #7 in offense, Harris was their best peremeter defender, Kidd is too slow to play good excellent defense now. Plus they are playing in completely new system. Defense wins championship. Unfortunately, Brooks plays worse defense than Kidd, every decent PG eats him alive.
1. did you ask every coach and player? TMAC wont agree with you. 2. Hornets has worse offense than Rockets. Chris Paul is weaker? 3. game is won by the number of points, not by efficiency, good offense, or anything else. would you please stop using your fantasy as facts?
Huh, Sir, you seem to miss the best example of your point: Yao MING (The highest IQ in NBA, the most physically limited player)
1. So what? Tmac himself said Yao is the best center many times. 2. a. Honets's offense is better than Rockets, they are #11, Rockets #15. b. Chsis Paul is not weaker, but that doesn't mean they have to be better offensively than Rockets. He doesn't have Yao to open the floor for him. Put Chis Paul on Rockets can you honestly say Rockets's offense will be worse? Your logic is terrible. 3. Again, you don't know anything about basketball. In one game, each team will roughly have the same number of possesions, who scores more points with those possesions who wins the game. Possesion is the constant, not points. You need to learn some elementry math.
1. "so what?"<------your best post so far. Did you ask every coach or NBA player to get "Yao is a superstar' conclusion, or not? 2. you blamed Brooks for our bad offense. I gave you Chris Paul as a counter fact. The logic is: our offense or any offense is not on PG's shoulder only, especially a second year PG who started for less than 2 months. 3. NBA does not like "roughly the same number" because many games are decided by 1 or 2 points. NBA game is decided by sheer score numbers, precisely. that's what I know.
1. "so what" means what Tmac says sometimes are contridict to himself. Can you understand that? My bad, I forgot you don't have logic or reasoning. 2. OK, so a second year PG is not responsible for bad offense, but is that the reason he should shoot more? If you admit he's not that godd, then he shouldn't shoot more either. Again, your logic fails. 3. That's why I said you don't konw math and basketball. When one team has higher scoring efficiency, they natually score more than the other team with lower effeiciency with same possesiions. If a team's offensive efficiency is lower in that game , the total score isn't going to be higher than the other team.
Where the hell was all this whining about PG inefficiency when Rafer was shooting worse, shooting MORE, all the while only averaging 1 more assist per game???
The thread was created after the laker game where Aaron tried to be a passing pg instead of attacking/shooting. 11 shots is a good number for him IMO, not more, not less.
