I agree. In the nba dish, someone always post game threads over there and we actually have great hoop discussions. Over here, every thing is blamed on a 2nd yr pg or or artest. Just like half the garm was about tracy, now its brooks. Did.anyone notice shane is a zero again?
AB had the most points on our team, the best shooting %, the best 3pt shooting %, the most assists. Yet he is the reason we lost??? lock this thread up
Indeed! No one should be too terribly surprised that we lost Game #2 at Portland. They were fired up as they were slaughtered game 1 and fans are crazy in love w/ them. It is impressive that it took Roy's 40 + points to beat us (and only by 4) w/ our team not doing near as well and w/o Deke covering some Yao minutes. I'll be back in the GARM after this has blown over.
Drama like this is what makes threads spiral out of control. Was it really necessary to put extra hyperbole on what he said?
Brooks made some bad turnovers, but he is still a big reason why we won Game 1 which is the ideal situation for any road team in the playoffs. Steal Game 1 or Game 2 and then control homecourt.
look for Tracy's stat in Magic. if every rocket fan is satisfied with a super star in a losing team, world peace!
its funny how the player who puts up the best stats in the playoffs always gets blamed. tmac did, and now brooks. it's weird really.
Thank you.....a voice of reason. The Blazers won't play a better game than they played last night, and only won by 4. It was a game the Rox could have easily won if a few things go right. Re: kneejerk fans.....meh. Most forums I've read have more negative than positive energy anyway, regardless if it is Rockets or anything else. People were complaining when we won by 20.
every turnover is bad. obviously you are right! every other player from our bench can take his place in a 20+ leading game. he is not the guy who knocked Portland down. I see no reason we would lose the 1st game if benched him 48 min. no, he is not the big reason at all! and did rocket steal 2 wins then lost 2:4? this team is by far tough enough to undergo bad turnovers again and again. they can not handle lost --- even just lost 10+ leading points would cause they panic, from coach to players, and rarely they can recover from even just a few points behind. HCA was and is not the reason rocket wins in fact. for time being, Brooks is a good role player, anything beyond that would be greedy.
Do Boston fans blame Rondo? Young players take time to develop. Rondo isn't Chris Paul or Steve Nash, but he's good enough to lead the Celtics to the championship. I don't understand the notion that our players, especially OUR ROLE PLAYERS need to play like superstars. Who's getting paid 20 million dollars? Not Brooks. So 1-1, good job AB! Keep improving, Keep shooting.
Everyone was looking to blame Rondo including the media because they felt that was the only question mark the Celtics team had but he proved that he could play.
Brooks was one of the major concerns coming into this series. He's played above and beyond expectations.
my problem with brooks is that he has the potential being a good guard or maybe a great guard. He boasts touch, speed, as well as agility. Just do not commit the same mistakes time and time again. You gotta learn something from those stupid mistakes to polish your game. Yep, as what yao said, he is very young fellow, he needs time to do so. I just wanna see the progress even it is a bit. I think he did pretty well at game one.but you know, game one is just kinda warmup for those blazers' kids. There was no monkey on our back. My suggestion to little brooks is to execute P&R with either scola or yao then shot the ball. Do not dribble the ball too much and penetrate into the paint w/o any purpose.
It's one thing to talk bad about the idiotic fans (which I do sometimes too), it's another thing that morons like you try to divide the fans based on their nationality and place of originality. If you are too r****ded to understand why you have been banned so many times, apparently it is because the mods could tell you are here just to stir up conflicts and ill feelings between different groups of posters. Go preach your hate somewhere else and remember to take your gay little agenda with you.
you gotta love clutchfans after a Rockets loss. Crazy threads just pop up out of nowhere. One game they love you then the next game they hate you and wants the person 2 get traded or benched
Oh, Marcus Bryant, I forgot to remind you to take your stupid alias like Superstar, LegendKiller, shortfuse3, etc.) away with you too. Anyone can tell by now that all the gay posts from these screen names are from the same moron which is you.
