so we've come full circle back to Brooks: "You Missing Me Now?" or is it Budinger: "You Missing Me Now?" Speaking of which, I can just hear Hillary saying to Bill while he's filming Hangover 2..."You Missing Me Now?"
Of course we miss them, for 2nd unit. We miss Yao too.He'd make it harder for Rose to get to the lane. It's not about who's better player, it's about what is the right mix of players. This game shows we have enough firepower with Lowry in the starting line and our defense is much better overall, but we need scorers and shooters in 2nd unit, AB and CBud are perfect for that.
Isn't that better than 18assist and 22 TOs in a 7 game playoff series? Not to mention many of those TOs are offensive fouls, some of those very questionable.
Oh, I get it now. What we are missing is the right mix of players. Now I feel like I'm in the wrong thread.
That was 2 yrs ago and he was the reason the rockets was even in the series vs the lakers or are you going to faintly argue that?
We need Aaron back for his scoring asap, especially with Yao and Budinger out. Lee didn't really gives us anything on offense tonight. Lowry is what he is, an explosive backup. Why do we talk about this like it's a bad thing? Well.. "Lowry is only good against benches and tired out starters?" This Lowry vs Brooks thing sickens me. Rick will play where they need to lay. Lowry gets his minutes, end of story. We need BOTH to be a good team, because Aaron's game still has major holes (especially on defense) in his game. Let's just be glad we have 2 PG's with two different styles we can go with.
OK. 2 yrs ago doesn't count. How about AB's last game? 2 assists/ 3TOs at the half of the game. That's much worse than 7 assists and 4 TOs. If you want to play selective memory, I have that too.
I have been saying this all along: we need BOTH of them in the rotation to win. just 1 among the two wont suffice on all nights
The other team had around 60 points at half time. That's why I say sum of offense + defense for startlinup+Lowry > Sum of offense+defense for starting lineup +AB. You gain more on defense with Lowry than gain offense with AB. Team scoring trumps personal scoring.
It's fine. But keep in mind, Lowry's only took 1 shot at half time, those shots went to Scola and Martin, which isn't worst than AB took it. Basket ball game is won by the sum of offense +defense for the team, not the sum of offense for an individual.
Give credit to Tom Thibodeau. But you also should notice we slowed down the Bulls too, which we couldn't do to any team with AB starting. But overall, starting unit is not the problem in this game, 2nd unit is.
