I have no problem with the front office paying Kyle, or matching the contract, I have issues with the strategy overall, but I am happy for Kyle. And I would be happy if they pay Brooks too, they are very important pieces to the team's overall winning. DD
Its not like we chose to take Jeffries contract on. And I don't think the Rockets are at the point where we can have a 6M dollar back up PG, and 8-10M starting PG.
Come on, RA isn't the type of coach that will put player on bench just because of injuries. So it's meaningless to do a bet like that at this moment. Just wait and see who fits the starting lineup better once AB comes back. So far Lowry has shown the 1st unit is better with him, and I predict it will stay that way after AB comes back.
The bigger question is what the **** does it matter? Shouldn't it be about the Rockets wins and losses? I think they need them both, so do you, we just differ on who should get the most minutes. And I find it ****ING hilarious that both Larv and I are willing to admit we are wrong, yet when pressed, the Lowry lubbers back track faster than crap through a goose... But...but..but, we are the ones with the agenda.....LOL.....WTF ever. DD
I think the Ariza/Lee trade proved that they can't. You, specifically, have claimed that trade was done for salary purposes. Luxury tax and all that.
Exactly -- it's never personal with you, we just bump heads on some decisions sometimes... we both want the same thing. I'm just pointing out that the only way to really know who was 'wrong' is to attempt Lowry'ers plan, because without doing so we'd never really ever know. Either way, I'm looking forward to getting Brooks and Yao back soon. Dang. You just had to add that last part. Ok: Let me try caps to see if the point sticks: YOU WOULDN'T BE WRONG IF AARON BROOKS COMES BACK AND LOWRY CONTINUES TO START. It doesn't matter if Lowry starts, it matters about the results. So of course I'm not going to say I'm wrong if Brooks is instantly inserted into the starting five just as YOU shouldn't admit you were wrong if Brooks is instantly inserted as a 6th man. It's about the RESULTS of the lineup, not the mere fact that they are trying the lineup.
The thing is...I don't care who is right or who is wrong, I just want the team to win.....I think I might have even been wrong once.......ONCE ! I just get tired of folks bashing AB, uneccesarily....and am tired of the whinyness. DD
It's more about the player combinations than it is about the minutes. The difference is, for you and Larsv8 to admit that you guys are wrong, that means that you were 100% PROVEN wrong. However, you want Lowry supporters to admit being wrong without being proven wrong. See the difference?
"Bashing" implies unwarranted criticism. How many people have made any unfounded criticisms of Brooks? And what were they?
I don't understand why you equate wanting Brooks to be the 6th man as bashing him? You have this mental block in your head to where you think the label starter actually means something. Try watching Terry and Ginobli once in a while.. it's about who finishes, not starts. Wekko, you're saying it a lot more eloquently than I am, so I'll defer to you. I need to study anyways.
All i know is that Lowry is beasting in fantasy basketball. Ranked 14th in 9 category leagues in the past 14 days. Third overall in the past 7 days. I picked him up finally.
Wekko is on ignore, he argues in circles...not worth the time. And I think a starter gets more minutes and thus Brooks is my choice for the starters role as it is with Adelman and Morey too. DD
It pretty much goes like this: I ask a straightforward question that, if he answers honestly, will rebut his argument. He recognizes this and proceeds to go off on various irrelevant tangents until I ask the original question again. So yeah, I guess it's a circle...
Jason Terry plays more minutes than Deshawn Stevenson and Caron Butler, both who start. Adelman and Morey also agree with that fact, if it helps you digest it.
We are not the Mavericks, their makeup is completely different than ours, they have a go to guy in Dirk, we do not, and Brooks is our best option when the shot clock runs down or we run into better teams...... It is what it is....let's see what the coaches do. I think your side will get a shot, as I expect Brooks to come off the bench for a while...maybe as early as tomorrow night. DD
Any self-respecting Team Lowry member would have picked him up as soon as AB went down. (And he's dominated for me! )
DD, do you think Brooks is our long term solution as the shot maker? What happens if the Rockets do land an all-star like Carmelo? Would you still value Brooks as much? Just curious.
