I’m not gonna lie. I always thought Dillon Brooks was a dirty player. He has a history of nutt nocking. I don’t like it. The only thing that’s changed is he’s now on my team. So I’ve got to give him a fair shot. But he’s got to stop intentionally using testicles as a speed bag, and I don’t want to see him jacking up shots. When I think about the contract, I want to take a shot at my own nutts. I hope Brooks makes a fan of me, but we are starting at like 1st and 25 on my own goal line.
“Every team needs one of these guys” A. Not true. It’s a statement often made by the people who already have one of “those guys” on their team to cope with the fact they have a dumbass on their team. Who was the erratic, lunatic, chucker getting significant minutes on the Nuggets, Bucks, Lakers or Raptors recent titles? B. They have to also be an actual overall positive impact player playing the game of basketball(Brooks has not been that) Pray he can change. Prepare that he likely won’t.
Thanks Dillon Brooks for replacing KPJ as the player the board can start bi-polar threads about after every single game.
I am pretty sure what he was touting was his aggressiveness and grit, not the nut job. This team gained a reputation for being soft under Silas. There were many perceptions from the recent past this club and Ime want to change. This is one of them. There have been dirty players in the league as long as I can remember.
Not every player has to play a character and summon the soul of the Villain. If you ask me, there is a small boy living inside Brooks, he has to constantly be fed to build up confidence. To attack someone's private parts, you have to go to dark places.
“I tried to navigate a screen,” he said. “I might have tapped him below waist. But he got right back up. I don’t know. It’s weird that every time it happens to me, I get picked on. I guess it’s part of reputation.” https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2023/10/southwest-notes-brooks-green-zion-smart-k-johnson.html
Agreed. Having an enforcer on a team is fine when that guy is making league minimum or under a team-friendly contract. Making $20 mil? Not so much as his presence is needed. Let the low level guys do gut checks, and if they get ejected- so what, momentum changed hopefully.
My concern is the Rockets rewarded his playoff behavior by giving him a 4 year great deal. Hopefully he doesn't feel like that's what he was signed on to do and be.
That's such BS, he knew what he was doing. He tried to run through Theis the play before and was called for a foul, I'm sure there was some chirping going on and he thought he could sneak in a little dirty shot smh.
Pretty sickening that he wants to maintain the image of a saint while doing this type of cheap shots.
Picking on me? Brooks stays delusional, but then again, even Rodman played the victim and I loved him.
I rather Dillon Brooks go to Vegas instead of Rodman..... for someone who is supposed to be cray cray he is not even tatted. A lot of his stuff is truly just an act while Rodman was genuinely bizarre and excessive . Surprisingly a much better athlete.
