    i'll bash ab with the best of them, but what battier is saying isn't a negative to ab. quite the contrary, he is stating that players stand around too much waiting for ab to do something (as with the tmac era).

    he is pointing out that players need to move more regardless of the point.

    while the ball movement offense works well for three quarters and during the regular season, you have to have a shot creator/penetrator come crunch time. ab is good at this. unfortunately, he is not elite at this skill.

    That's what he wants you to THINK he's saying.

    It's very cleverly disguised.

    Shane should shut up and contribute on both ends before mouthing off about ball movement. He averages like 6 pts, 2 rebounds and gets lit up constantly.

    Next thing you know he will be saying "Brooks looks real tall when he is jumping and almost dunks the ball." :grin:

    It's actually an indictment of Rick Adelman. Can't you tell?

    Obviously, it's the SCHEME that is the problem here.

    Brooks is an important component part , but not a play making Guard.
    Brooks is an important to score at least 20 points, while Ish is a play play making Point Guard. :p

    Battier is a politician, and this year is his contract year. Apparently, AB's uptempo styple doesn't fit Battier's aging. Battier will fight for his next contract. He wouldn't miss any opptunity to bash AB.

    I guess this means LB and DD are off the AB bandwagon as a ball dominating PG can't win championships and it's not playing within Adelman's system :p

    I read the quote and didn't take it as bashing.

    Of course on Clutchfans people take quotes out of context smh.

    LOL @ DD He think only Yao and AB don't fit and the rockets should get rid of Yao. Apparently, AB doesn't fit with any player of starting lineup.

    Nothing negative there...

    I'm more suprised that fans want to see that as brooks "bashing", but didnt apply the same logic to what he said about Ish. Battier basically said Ish can't shoot, yet it went ignored...probably because most of clutchfans members are on an Ish Smith high right now...

    Either way, not bashing. Ish isn't in there to shoot and brooks isn't in there to pass and distribute the ball. AB is pretty much Scola on the perimeter. In both cases it's up to the coach to get the right players around each of them.
