    Makes me vomit. No player deserves this from the fans, especially brooks. I'm not comparing brooks to stockton in ANY WAY, but I remember Jazz fans booing him on draft night heavily and appearing classless, which is what we appear to be at tiems.

    i've been high on brooks since last year (as high as anybody). i still don't think he's a franchise player. but with the way the team is assembled and the type of style of offense we're running, yao and tracy need to get on board.

    again, we'll see when this team hits some adversity and how brooks respond (ala game 1 v. portland). right now, we're on a high shooting-wise (and hopefully that will continue).

    but mind you, i've always been high on brooks.

    Someone please tie tmac to a tree. I like the direction this team is heading. If it calls for losing games, winning less so we can build this style as our foundation so be it. One year in the basket, god knows we wasted 4 or 5 trying to make something stupid duo crap work.

    This and some key pieces looks quite promising. People need to understand that we are playing WAY ABOVE OUR CEILING THOUGH. If we start to lose, don't lose faith. There is something here, and I think that something could turn into something special down the road.

    yes and no. He might have the skills but he does not have the cockiness and confidence to be a top 5, yet.

    Two quick thoughts:

    1.) AB obviously studied tape over the summer and realized how much he was getting blocked. He has a very distinct floater bank shot which is released far from the basket. He is really good at it and it is so high that it looks almost unblockable.

    2.) Rafer Alston 1-8 tonight lol

    um maybe if you take baron off that list and put tony parker. after that, take jameer off the list and put billups. although I guess you could argue billups. parker, you can't.

    Yes and Yes.


    I feel stupid. My point is, AB is top 10. Not top 5.
