    I never noticed until my girlfriend just mentioned this, but doesn't Aaron Brooks resemble Chris Rock?

    That'd be a much better nickname than AB, if you ask me... :D

    that has to do with Yao. Yao is really changing all their shots.

    Poor Brooks, he would lose his confidence sooner if he keeps play badly.

    I feel sorry for Hawks. This time we are not playing to their level

    He still needs to learn to play the game,but smith has a load of skill. I can imagine him on a veteran squad.

    he's a rookie. rookie goes through troughs and peaks. he's in a slump right now. but i know for a little guy like him, he must have a lot of confidence or else he wouldn't be in the NBA right now. he'll be fine. it's best he faces adversity when others are stepping up. so when others like bonzi is struggling, brooks will step up.

    that's the great thing about our role players. we have 4-5 options now in terms of role players who are fairly consistent.

    Yao should just turn and shoot. His bad pass often leads to opponent's fast break.

    Yea. Hopefully he picks it back up, but I think for the playoffs, and the rest of the season, we need another solid veteran point guard. Hopefully we can get Kidd, Miller, or even Tinsley.

    But he's not jacking up contested shot after contested shot. In fact, his shot attempts are in line with just about everybody else on the team. Balanced attack, right?

    Seriously man! This guy is SO quick, and sneaky. he's made some mistakes, but i'd take the good with the bad. too bad there's no way the atl will get rid of him. i think he's probably more untradeable than joe johnson.

    and ANOTHER tip pass by bonzi. he does those all the time as well. he always seemed like such a low IQ player in the past, but maybe it was just his attitude problem. he obviously seems to be a very heady player.

    Brooks will end up being an earl boykins type player. He will not be our starter..too small to guard the taller guys.

    Man, just watch and enjoy. Do you have some kind of argument fetish? Yes? No? If not, do what the rest of us are doing...enjoying the game. Save the 'OF wars for after the game.

    I think one of the Portland announcers mentioned that Bonzi really liked it in Houston and was trying to distance himself from his past.
