Please get Brooks out and get Lowry in the starting lineup

Aaron Brooks sb== Aaron Brooks mindless

we hate Aaron Brooks!!!!

 

they are letting Brooks filling the stat sheet... then in the off-season Morey the GOD will pull off a trade with Suns s.t. we send Traceey and Brooks for Nash and Richardson... then we are good to go

 

1. brooks hits 3 to finish off dallas
2. brooks makes layup to beat suns

his shooting opens up the offense for everyone and allows yao to go one on one

 

we are good to go right now.

 

Doesn't change a thing. He is shooting 39% overall. If it were Rafer, you'all would kill him for that. Parker has never shot below 40% in any year, while having a higher efficiency in running teams.

I'm not too up in arms about who gets to start. But let's not pad our feeling game by game. Range, is the best thing AB gets right now, next thing is quickness - but he doesn't know how to use that properly.

 

Having a 50% 3PT player in Nash, though a little bit old, is like icing on the cake; bet you were holding your breath when several days ago Nash was knocking down almost everything in the 4th quarter And Brooks is just as big a liability on defense as Nash...

And we can have a Richardson who attacks the rim and has a 40% 3pt shooting~

Suns are rebuilding anyways and they can surely use some Traceeey

Get it done Morey~

 

That's overrated IMO. Lowry can take pressure off Yao also - by stepping in while Yao is doubled. Yao has already multiple assists to Lowry where Lowry would step in and goes to the basket, or take a midrange. Those are nice plays.

Plus, it's not like Lowry has to be the one who take the threes when Yao pass out. A quick hockey pass usually works pretty well from past games I've seen. And from what I seen, Lowry usually makes good decision in that situation. That's why his actual 3 percentage is close to AB's if not better.

 

once again, Parker is in his 8th season starting

Tony Parker 2nd Season Average per 36 minutes

16.5 points
5.6 assists/2.3 turnovers
13.5 shot attempts

Aaron Brooks 2nd Season Average per 36 minutes

16.0 points
4.6 assists/2.3 turnovers
14.1 shot attempts

 

First off, Aaron does the same thing from time to time. Sure, those plays are great, but more often than not (and I mean a lot more often) Lowry just stands around the three point line. I'm ok with Brooks standing around the three point line because he can knock that shot down, but Lowry can't.

I remember that play in Phoenix. A lot of people saw that one and talked about how it was such a great play by Lowry... then Aaron did it a few minutes later, and barely anyone mentioned it.

And people need to stop overrating Lowry's defense. He is a pretty good defender, but he isn't that great. He still gets beat by the same people Aaron get beat by. He struggled with Nash just as much as Aaron did. And Derrick Rose? Guess who Derrick Rose scored his last bucket on... yup, that would be Lowry.

I would be completely ok with Lowry taking over the starting PG spot IN THE FUTURE, but right now, the Rockets need somebody who can score with that first group and they get it with Aaron.

Brooks has to go through these type of struggles to get better I think as a fan it has to be a patience factor. The playoffs is a different issue if that type of situation came up, but for now understanding how to close games is critical for the Rockets.

 

Per 36 minutes. makes it an apples to apples comparison

 

Frankly, I don't see a huge dropoff. Lowry in 10 games with the Rockets: 53.9%, averaging 5.2 shots and 7.5 pts per game. AB as a starting guard: 39.3%, 11.8 shots, 13.5 per game; overall this season: 40.1% on 9.5 shots and 10.8 per game. You can certainly expect Lowry's scoring going up with more minutes. You can make a case AB actually take more shots than he should since being a starter. Franklly, what I feel is that maybe Wafer is the one who keeps Brooks in the starting position.

 

Rox fans are strange. You guys always find someone to blame and complain.

It was Yao. Then T-Mac. Then the start Brooks and trade Rafer. Then Shane. Now Brooks is starting and dump Brooks to start Lowry. Who will be next when Lowry finally starts?

Is this ever gonna be an end?

 

I guess people expect brooks to be a finished product in his 2nd yr. He's going to have up and down struggles just as most young player do. He's playing the hardest position for a young guy on a team that's in a playoff run. Go look at nash,kj,price, and guys like that early in their career. I compare him to parker, go look at parker 1st yr starting. What is the rox record with brooks starting again?

 

What? AB's percentage would increase by playing more minutes, or Parker's would decrease by playing less?

 

Aaron is a good shooter, he looks for a shot as much as Rafer did and he was a terrible shooter. As long as he is making the shots, who gives a ****?

 

look at their per 36 minute stats in season 2. per 36 minutes is a fair way to compare their production. almost identical. it's a commonly used stat

I see the same percentage as the Yahoo page. Parker shoots less and hits more with more assists. If you consider Rafer's percentage and AB's percentage huge, you have to consider AB's and Parker's percentage difference huge too. BTW, you can't simple stretch out minutes, efficiency of a young player is sure to decease with more minutes.
