    According to hollinger lowry will start over brooks? does this dude even know what the hell he is talking about?

    Manny (Dominican Republic): Your thoughts on Aaron Brooks as the new PG in Houston?

    SportsNation John Hollinger: Like him better off the bench -- I think Lowry will be the starter.

    That was his opinion. He didn't state it as fact.

    It's not outside the realm of possibilities if Brooks doesn't play well.

    Hollinger isn't that high on Brooks. He dogged his selection over Sessions in the rookie-sophomore game (which, to be fair, he was absolutely right about).

    I think he sees Brooks as an energy bench guy. But the Rockets like Brooks more than the national media at large realize. I'm pretty sure he'll be the starter, unless Lowry blows them away with his play.

    Expect Brooks to start come tomorrow, but if Lowry plays well, there's no reason to think he couldn't be the starter.

    it's about personnel guys. brooks can hit open threes, which you need in a lineup with Yao. the bench guys need a creator who can get them shots, which is lowry's style of play.

    You also need a guy who can actually get Yao the ball, which Brooks can't do. I've yet to see Brooks re-post Yao but I've seen Brooks look at Yao with his man sealed and then swing the ball away or drive it in himselft to get blocked too many times.

    I don't know why you're all are hating on Lowry. Have any of you even seen him play?

    I would love to see Lowry start, but.... since Yao is on the starting lineup and he draws a lot of double teams. It might be better for the team to start Brooks. It is kind of hard to tell at this point.

    But here is what Hollinger had said about Lowry before the season

    Lowry is a finisher around the basket, and a good passer...alot of fans in Memphis complained that he should of gotten more minutes, i think he can be a good fit for us if he gets in the flow of the offense

    Yao is going to see triple teams all day long if that happens.
