What? you mean Yao should guard a pg??? If you expect the big man to wipe their PG's asses, be pleased to expect early foul troubles....
Wow you were way off...Brooks was amazing tonight. I really really like Lowry...He seemed to fit pretty well with our team...he hit the ground running. I cant imagine how much better he will be once he gets comfortable with this team. On a side note...we got lucky we won this game...whenever the game gets tight Yao totally screws up...god I hate seeing him choke over n over n over again. You would think after so many years of the rockets relying on him in the clutch he would eventually get comfortable with that role...I dunno what happens but he just tightens up and plays like crap when the game is close. (I feel as if he loses all his confidence)
Houston is defending the p&r like today for 3?... 4 years? The thing is that one of those things that Rafer gave us and weren't asppreciated is a great p&r defense with Yao's handicap. Yao can't make the flash man, he's 7-6.
Did he outplay JJB who was monstrous tonight getting easy dribble penetration and open looks from everywhere. just sayin...
It doesn't have to guard him, but he has to push him out..... Right now these guys are coming off the picks with wide open shots...
I do recall Russell Westbrook completely shutting down Alston, to 5 points while going off for 15, 6 and 6.
Well I wouldn't say Lowry > Rafer, but I would say this: AB starting/Lowry off the bench > Rafer starting/AB off the bench
Russell Westbrook was a lotto pick and no scrub, have you seen him play? JJ Barea however is a d-leaguer. Russell Westbrook could be an All Star.
Joey Dorsey is a D-Leager. Barea is obviously not. Not sure if its just a humorous troll attempt or not. If so, carry on.
Lowry's D on Barrea was far better than Brooks. Did you see how he cut off Barrea's drive and playing good team D? In fact Barrea points came from the 3 pt land tonight off the picks mostly.
THIS THREAD IS USELESS BECAUSE ONLY TIME WILL TELL IF ONE IS GREATER THAN THE OTHER AS FAR AS HOW THEY FIT WITH THIS TEAM. WHATS THE POINT OF THIS THREAD? LOWRY BETTER THAN RAFER...C'MON--WHO KNOWS. MAYBE THEY'LL PLAY SOME ONE ON ONE SOMEDAY AND WE WILL KNOW.NOT!
Seriously, it's one thing to gets to the hole. It's another thing for him to shoot 5-8 from three when he's shooting 32% from 3..
based off tonight--not at all. Our points made Barea look like John Stockton...That is a very scary prospect
Barea is a D-Leaguer !!!! If you have ever played basketball you have those games where the basket looks like its 50ft wide and you just can't miss ! Like I said earlier this is Bareas 15 minutes of fame he's a scrub !!!!!
People Barea is a scrub !! It was just his night tonight it was a fluke !!!!! He's a D-Leagin Midget scrub !!!!!!!!!
