everyone's favorite ?? really ; I thought AB was everyone's favorite here.. 18-0 run took place once again because the other team's PG is better than what the rox have to offer but at least Lowry plays a little better D than the alternative. Do you think AB would've stopped Rose from going off on him like he did on lowry , lee or martin ? I don't think so.. If AB starts this game he's going to get his 18+ points but no way Miller gets 21, Scola 27 so by default the game is lost even if AB is there. Rebounding was a big problem and Hill only played 5 minutes had 5 rebounds, Miller played 40 min 5 rbs , Scola 38 min 5 rbs and Hayes 13 min 5 rbs So how about we get an athletic guy that can actually challenge a shot or two and hopefully block it and get a few more rbs.. It's not like noah was going to totally dominate Hill .
Old Man Rock is friends with Aaron Brooks. He got this quote from Brooks when he was hanging out with him.
AB is definitely the most hated player on Rockets. Even when he is not playing he is hated by the haters. The haters would imagine things like "Rose will score 50 on him", " no way Miller gets 21, Scola 27" to perfect their hatred. It is so convenient to hate something only exists in their imagination.
The most hated Rocket is Jared, dude. Most everybody likes or loves Aaron to some degree. We're all just overly frustrated with the start of our season and with the injuries to Yao. That is the hidden elephant in the room, really. Think about it. With Yao and Battier out there, our defense all of a sudden gets a lot better and you have all the scoring threats you need to do anything you want with Yao, Scola, Martin, and Brooks. Please Lord, help Yao get healthy.
Haha I remember the days when people thought PG was one of our strongest positions...oh the memories.
It is, when our starter is starting, and our backup doing his thing running the 2nd unit. How good would the bulls have been with Earl Watson as the starter? DD
Its unbelievable how much people b**** about the guy, do they realize the actual number of competent Rockets PGs since the mid 90s?
*shrug* Say what you will, doesn't change the fact that all good coaches know that there needs to be a strong balance in every lineup you put out there, where all players complement each other and cover weaknesses. AB coming off the bench fills a void in the bench and reduces redundancy in the starting lineup. Good coaches don't care who's your most talented player when making lineups, and if RA keeps playing him alongside kmart them this team will continue to be mediocre.
There is no rule saying those numbers have to come in the first quarter or when he is starting. Those numbers can come as long as he has the minutes and would increase against the 2nd stringers. We b**** about him because he is a failure as a starter with no defensive presence to cover for his lack of one. We b**** because we believe that he will help the TEAM do better. Unlike a lot of you guys, I don't care about individual players at all. I root for the name on the front of the jersey not the one on the back. At the end of the day, I won't bat an eye if ALL of our players get traded if it brings us closer to the ring.
RA was dumb enough to NOT play Tim Hardaway. RA was dumb enough to not play Hill more. RA was dumb enough to play a still recovering Lowry 43 minutes. RA is too inflexible with his rosters.
Right.... and how many times have you nerd raged on bad decisions by Adelman privately? We all have and at times we have all wondered if he had gone senile from old age. Oh I get it, none of this counts because its AB we are talking about right? RA can make mistakes too. The real question is, will he have the presence of mind to correct it.
Lowry has been in the NBA for years, not one coach has ever chosen him as the starter, you would think that would be a clue for some folks on here. DD
Seriously? He has been in the league for only one more year than AB. I can tell you where he has not been though if you want to play that type of game yet, in the D-League. I can also tell you where an AB team leads us (also a fact), which is the lottery.
