Actually, he's the 3rd highest scoring starting PG in the entire league. He's also just 14th in shooting percentage for starting PGs in the entire league and 19th overall for at his position.
why not? don't you think Lowry is a better starting PG playing with Yao, Kevin, Scola, and Ariza/Battier?
Oh yeah I know you didn't. At least you're not saying let's trade him for someone else. He's an up and coming star. He just needs to take advantage of his strengths and not play down to others. Speed and great shooting kills... Just like crack... hehe
Just watch when Lowry returns, he and Martin will make Aaron obsolete because Kyle will pass the ball. Lowry, i feel, should be the starter anyway because he is a better defensive player than Brooks. This is why the game is always changed when Kyle is in. He does everything else except score better than Brooks. With Lowry starting, Martin will get his 20+ shots a game. Truthfully, Aaron should be playing better than he is by now. I hope this doesn't start some type of locker room distraction between the two.
Because he can't hit the outside shot. That's important when you play with guys like Yao and Martin. Why do you think the Lakers keep Fish around? Because he can hit the outside shot. Why do you think teams have finally decided to let Rondo shoot more? Because he can't hit the three. You have to punish teams when they double team you. That's why the Rockets were soo great back in the day. Hakeem had shooters to pass to.
Aaron doesn't change the game? How in the hell do you think we beat the Lakers in Game 6 and was able to force a game 7?
Yea this is what i want lowry starting and well maybe package ab and scola for bosh i love ab but now that we have martin he will be taking all the SG min and ab cannot play the point what a ab truly is an undersized SG
I'm sorry, Brooks was here first, Brooks has lead us to a couple of HUGE playoff victories (against L.A.). How many big games has Martin played in and showed up? I trust Brooks a lot more than Martin.
He is the 19th best starting Point Guard in the NBA- that says it all. The reason he is so low is because he isn't a Point Guard but a Shooting Guard pretending he is a Point Guard. God only knows how he had 10 assists last night they were almost like Battier's intangibles. Question how many assists did he have with passes to Martin? I like Brooks but he needs to play in position and under control! BROOKS IS #24 in the NBA in assists... what else can I say!
While he may not be a great outside shooter, he will on occasion make that shot. He is a pass 1st point which is what we need now that we have a guard who can score. He is a good defender. With Scola, Brooks and Martin being your starters, you are lacking defense in your starting line-up. Replace Brooks with Lowry( when possible ) and you have a better defensive 1st team. Also, having all 3(Martin, Brooks and Lowry on the floor would be interesting.
As i recall, Aaron was inconsistent then in the series. Having 1 or 2 good games in the series does not make him a game changer. It makes him unreliable. I like Aaron, but he has played this way the entire 3 years that he has been here. Inconsistently. Every single night that Lowry hits the floor, the game speeds up and good things start to happen.
But what you also saw was the Rockets won when Aaron was leading the team. Look, I don't have a problem with Lowry. I actually think he would be a better PG in this league if he could shoot. As we all know, he can't shoot well and that's not good for a PG in this league. Lowry is a very important piece on this team. He's helped out several nights when AB's game isn't up to par. That doesn't mean AB shouldn't be our starter. Lowry is a great piece that we have that comes off our bench. Lowry, Budinger, and Landry were like fire off the bench.
IMO rockets have great chance to win whenever Brooks shoots well. But his shooting well isn't always a given, and when that is true, Lowry is the better bet since he doesn't rely solely on his shot to have value to the team. It doesn't really matter who starts but who finishes. If Brooks is on fire, he finishes. If he's not, Lowry does. It had already ended up being that way a few games...count on this continuing.
I agree,, Brooks is being a total D!CK with K-mart. Not only is he not a good PG but now he's shown signs of being selfish which can only work against him. Maybe he's forgetting the rockets have Lowery a much better PG and always willing to pass the ball. The chemistry between Brooks and Martin is not good and you can see it in AB's body language. Adelman needs to address this right away or this is going to get out of his hands. By the way not to panic but I get the feeling that Adelman is not getting through these guys and the defense is not there. JVG is just waiting for the rockets to call back and I know JVG will approach coaching a lot different the next time he gets a chance. In the mean time AB needs to stop turning the ball over so much and perhaps he's that Trading ASSET Morey is referring to for next year when they make a run at Bosh or Amare..
I disagree. Look at rondo. He's probably a worse shooter than Lowry but his a really good PG. Team is good with a shoot first PG IF they have another person in the lineup who passes well. I.E. brooks with mcgrady. Just look at mo williams, he's a shoot first pg and the bucks sucked. But pair him with Lebron, lebron's team got better substantially. I don't think there's anything wrong shoot first PGs. But its all about lineups.
