    Sorry but you are incorrect!
    Steve dribbled so much as the first thing he was trying to do was to find an opening for his own shot. Every time down the court!! :p

    that's because rudy told him to do so. lol.

    and sf3 can occasionally throw up some alley-oops to kato or catino as his assists. when jvg came, i knew he'd be toasted eventually.

    and you're right, ab's game is different from sf3's.

    i wouldn't mind his dribbling, he can do it at the end of each qtr. Just don't do it too much i guess. there are times that he is trapped, other guys gotta help him out.

    I translated it online because I saw my name at the beginning. For some odd reason, he translated my post from the previous page then just wrote "Agreement" in response.

    Basically, he said he agrees with my post. I have no idea why he converted it to Chinese.

    then talk about how underrate Scola, Battier and Lowry are. not saying i disagree but it's the truth.

    Russell Westbrook is the new Stevie.

    Relentless, brazen, insane attacks on the basket.
    Size.
    Boards.
    Hops.
    And lets not forget, wild turnovers!

    :)

    Brooks becomes the obvious choice,in that situation. No easy solution.

    Yes,he is 5'10'' and a half after all,and not a true 1 either. He has shown an improvement in playmaking,but there are limitations to as far as he can go. RA will have to play Lowry more,either alongside with Aaron or while the latter is on the bench.

    That's actually an outstanding comparison. I concur.

    I don't know what games you have been watching, but to me Aaron has really improved as a PG this season. As much as I loved Steve, I think that AB is already a better PG than SF ever was.

    Height isn't necessarily the biggest problem. I'd reference weight/frame before height. He's barely over an inch shorter than Chris Paul (5'10.5" to 5'11.75") with longer arms and bigger hands. Check out this post I put together a while back: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=4790574&postcount=17

    Brooks' biggest limitation physically is his slight build. Mentally, he just doesn't possess great court vision or high bball IQ.

    Why does everyone on this BBS talk about players as if their skills in last night's game are their skills now and forever? Young players develop. Brooks has improved steadily since he came into the league. I've been surprised by the fact he's averaging 8 assists a game this season. I did not expect anything close to that. He's young and improving. Maybe he'll continue to improve in aspects of his game and maybe not in others. Maybe he'll develop a killer instinct. My point is, you have to keep a player's age and track record in mind when evaluating him and making predictions about whether he'll ever be an all-star, etc.
