Will AB keep getting all of our big guys in foul trouble on a continuous basis because he is too small to be physical and stay in front of his man?
Our bigs getting in foul trouble has NOTHING to do with AB, and everything to do with them reaching in, and using their hands on the guys they are guarding. It is not guards drawing fouls but other bigs. DD
If AB isn't ready now he will be with enough playing time under his belt. He's just going to get better and better.
I would just like to take this time and space to thank Cuban for being a r****d and trading Harris out of our division. Thanks!
Rick said in an earlier interview he was coming back during the road trip, maybe tonight or tomorrow? DD
So AB and rafer do not let their guys get past them and into the lane DADakota? Then again AB isn't a VSpan is he? You think AB will hold up in the playoffs and not be shot over every game? You guys false hopes sometimes distract you from the real picture. He will get abused and exposed as short when he gets posted up or left behind a earl watson sized pick and you better not cry, because you were happy with what you had, so now you have to live with it. This guy is avg 1 assist a quarter. What a PG. IMO find another starter if we want a ring. I am not willing to wait years for guys to barely evolve any longer or to make our team pay the price because our guards came up short.(PUN COMPLETELY INTENDED, SORRY)
Is Harris ready for some Brooks? Will Harris want to spare his energy on defending a same lighting fast PG in Brooks? I think Harris might have a difficult game vs Brooks. Of course, if Rafer plays, Harris just needs to concentrate only on offense and gets his points at will.
I think forcing the other team to shoot a jumper over the top is a great way to win games. Yeah, tell that to Chris Paul and Chauncey Billups, how many NBA PGs post up? Baron Davis...who else? Sometimes reality smacks you in the face, huh Killer? Do you even watch the games? TMac initiates the offense, and it is a SHARE the ball offense where ANYONE can get an assist, everyone shares the ball, it is not a PG dominated show. When the Rockets have 2 guys gettting 5 or more assists and everyone else chipping in a couple...they are running smoothly. It will be fun to see AB against Harris tonight....Harris is better, but AB is quicker....so if Harris gets his...AB has to keep him honest and make him work on D too...something Rafer could not do. DD
Not everyone can have the complete package in basketball, that being said AB has spent his whole life finishing over people in the lane, even though he is short. Does that make him a bad basketball player? He can get his 3 off at anytime and any where! He has contained Chris Paul and Chancey, this season. You don't think he has adapted to using his strengths against bigger PG's on D? Oh yeah and BTW our bigs IE...Chuck and Scola don't block shots they reach in when guards come down the lane. Landry and Yao attempt to block the shot. That is why our bigs get into foul trouble. Nobody is going to stop a quick Penetrating Guard out front. You have to have help, so if you want to blame that on AB your a fool!
im a huge AB fan..ive been trying to tell people how sick he was since he was drafted with that being said DH is gonna do work on him, hes just to fast+strong+good shooter for little brooks to guard i say stick another defender on him
I'm interested in seeing if AB's speed can bother Harris. Harris is deadly with his change of speed and direction. His signature moves appears to be when he drives to the basket, then takes a sudden dribble step back and drains the mid-range J, somewhat like Jordan against Byron Russell. Brooks' defensive reflexes will be crucial more than any other game. We've already seen when he was with Dallas that Yao is much too slow to block him. I'm just hoping Yao doesn't get embarrassed by the rookie Lopez. On paper Yao should dominate on offense, but I'm worried about rebounding.
This would've been another good game to have D.J. Strawberry. Instead we cut him because of guaranteed money, while Francis is rotting on the bench.
Whatever you say genius. Money is the only reason he was cut. We could use his defense against scoring guards. Brooks is not the answer when it comes to that.
