Unfortunately, I don't think Yao will ever do that, as much as we want him to man up. That's why Yao will only be 'good' and not 'great.' Hakeem would have skinned Brooks alive and sold his remains as brooks jerky at the Toyota Center's concession stands already if Brooks pulled his ***** with Dream.
Rox might need to re-think about the PG position as long as Adelman is the coach... IMO, the management is currently going the traditional route of finding a PG who can shoot. But if they allow the mini Brooks to be a scorer not a floor general, then why not go with the strategy of getting a " 6'5" Shooting Guard that could also bring up the ball, play defense, and make entry pass"?

We got screwed over by the refs big time in this game. after we took the lead over by 4pts, whistles started blowing and Trailblazers started shooting FTs. Its was on both ends of the floor like for instances Von Wafer being hacked on the arm by Oden when he was going in for a dunk and Lowry being called for one by falling to the floor from a moving pick. This game seems rigged. It's just funny how the refs start to call these stupid fouls on the game after Nate McMillian complains about the lack of freethrow attempts they were getting... We had the lead in the 4th qtr, by 4pts, with around 9 mins or less(if I'm not wrong) and I thought we should've held on to it but late in the game the refs just all of a sudden sided with just calling fouls on us. BTW Greg Oden should've fouled out and Aaron Brooks sucks and needs to go back to the bench so that Lowry can shine.
AB is like a mini-Artest with Wafer in between there. All three guys threw up shots, going on selfish mode and ignoring the guys who have carried this team in the playoffs: YAO, SCOLA & BATTIER !! Yao & Scola were hot the whole game, yet they do not give them the ball. Mind-boggling how Scola has 15pts in the 1st and only 6 IN THE FOLLOWING THREE QUARTERS. I'm glad we didn't win because it was such an ugly game, we played so bad it's indescribable. The bench play was also a huge part of this loss, Lowry & Landry in particular were out of sync the whole game and picked up some terrible fouls. The refs were not in favour of the Blazers, in fact the Rockets got away with a lot of contact so please do not bring the refs into this. Funny how FT disparity when it's in favor of the Rockets and the Blazers whine about it, it means nothing. Yet after this game all of a sudden fans look at the numbers and blame the refs partially. Glad we will go home and it will be on TNT, would've hated to advance on the road on NBA TV playing this terrible. Think about how we would've played in Game 1 @ LA had the last game been this one ?? Please Rockets, no more choking !!! Take it in game 6 in front of your home crowd and end this 12 year drought
It's hard to swallow this loss..anyway just relax..now our team is coming home, lets support them and cheer for the win!
Ya!!!! Buddy, you spoke out what I want it to express from my deep heart! Aron Brooks!!!!! The "MVP" of clutchcity!
You Damn Shut up!! Yao sucks all time? Could not you see the significance you played on the court? Try to get the post with martial arms, made a high shooting percentage, the most important thing is to attract defence for more open shoots for the other role players. However, 6-20 for Aron, what the stats for Ron?? Humiliating!!! what about posting a vote thread?
Our performance in the last quarter is just a pile of ****. If Artest and Brooks still remain in the starting lineup next season, I would rather go to a boring opera than watch an insufferable ROX game like this one. Dammit!
Brooks was just doing his job. Penetrate and 3pts. Unfortunately he did too much and those 3s were off. The real bad thing is Blazers gaining confidence. Game 6 will be very tough.
trade ron and brooks away, both are selfish and brainless sucker, oh, RA should go too, win this series or not.
Brooks, listen, when Yao has position, pass him the damn ball. There is no other option. This is an explicit order. Follow it and we will WIN!!!!
