    Once again, the clowns and haters who criticize everything without knowing anything at all are exposed. There's a reason Ime has trusted in Dillon Brooks.
    Let Udoka build the team and impose a game scheme with the players he chooses. That's what he was hired for.

    Folks think with emotions instead of a clear head. Ime has a lot of say, so expect things to be much more in line what previous teams he was on than what the Rockets org did before. Its a whole new frrsh start

    Brooks' final three games in Manila were strong at both ends. The Americans know Brooks' reputation as an inconsistent outside shooter, but it proved to be a mistake to give him space. He made 6 of 8 3-pointers and scored 21 points in a sizzling first half, galloping and chirping all the way as is his trademark.

    The crowd, which had jeered him earlier in the week because he's a rival of their beloved Los Angeles Lakers, flipped and was giving Brooks "MVP" chants at several points.

    "It was so enjoyable. Obviously the hate doesn't stop, it keeps going," said Brooks, who signed a four-year $86 million deal this summer with the Houston Rockets. "It's hard to battle against the world and a team."

    Brooks' vague reference to a "team" was a reference to the Memphis Grizzlies, who decided to part ways with him after last season.

    Brooks also fought Anthony Edwards on defense, and their fight against each other delighted the crowd. Edwards finished with 24 points in what was a strong overall showing in the World Cup.

    "We can't get no stops, so I don't know what we could have done," Edwards said. "Our defense is pretty bad."

    This is the only one of the "franchise player" threads that is true.
