man, if we were still in the hunt for the playoffs..id be smashing windows and ripping encyclopedias right now.........-_-'' but it just goes to show our team is a F2(uking r****ded ensemble of scrubs (apart from martin and scola)... no rebounding, no hustle, no free-spirited will, no energy, and a whole bunch of chucked up 3's with no ***@9ng athleticism or style. here is what we gotta do!! battier to okc or chicago for a first round pick (charlotte's or la clippers') brooks + hill + budinger + 2011 lottery pick for Rubio + one of minny's future 1sts buy a pick in the draft around the 20's. trade hayes for a future 1st..his value is at an all-time high and we are not gonna get any better deals for him trade yao + jefferies for a bunch of 2012 expiring veterans - andres nocioni, antawn jamison, kirk hinrich lowry/hinrich martin/lee williams/nocioni scola/patterson miller that team will win about 25 games in the west let the tanking begin!!
Rockets won't have a comforatalbe lead if Chuck made his two FTs. And that happens. Rockets didn't played with enough energy to get enough rebounds, that is true, but play AB ONLY MAKES THAT WORSE. The other two plays were at the end of the game, there was a hand in Ellington's face. All those things happen in a short moment which is not predictable, but leave AB on the floor when he obvisouly didn't do anything on both of ends for 20 FREAKING MINUTES is totally predictable and preventable.
Can yall make up your minds? Wanting the Rockets to tank to get a high draft pick then b**** that we lose to the Wolves. I don't think you can tank and win games at the same time...
HELLO. Brewer SG, Wes Johnson SF, Love/Tolliver PF, Pekovic/Koufos C. 20 more rebounds. Here is the game. That has nothing to do with Aaron. Apart of it, Aaron should have not played, much less 20 minutes, of course. And anyway, on the coach + on the coach. Another one this season. I was dying watching them dominate the boards, while we were playing with Shane at the PF, Lee at the SF... and Miller-Patterson-Hill-Jeffries watching the game on the bench. Very hard to believe.
RA playing AB through this massive slump has officially cost this team wins. I understand his importance to this team longterm but he is just hurting the team majorly with his play.
1) When you can't make freethrows under pressure at home you deserve to lose. 2) That is my point. AB is a part of the problem, but he isn't the problem. I don't know why some people refuse to see this. I mean this team is 25-29. We've been a losing team the whole season, except for when we hit .500. This is the mark of a bad team. Meaning that more than one player is the problem. We have: No star power, size, few two way players. This is alot bigger than Brooks. Getting rid of, or sitting him, does NOTHING to solve the real issues this team has. To be honest, he is helping us. Every game we lose gives us a better chance of being higher in the lottery. Maybe we can flip a pick and an asset for something interesting. Bottom line, the problem with this team is that we are short, have no star power, few two way players, questionable effort at times. Getting rid of Brooks solves NONE of this. When he missed 20 + games, we still sucked! Yes Brooks was out there too long, but that is a coaching issue. Adelman should have sat him, I agree with that. But until our fundamental flaws are fixed, expect to see more of the same.
I understand Rick believing he NEEDS to get Aaron going for the better of the team but Martin playing ONLY 32 minutes isn't going to cut it and it caught up to Rick tonight.
I don't think it's the lowest point in the season. Kevin Love is just a beast. He took over when they needed someone too and no one could really stop him. I think AB playing 20 minutes was just a product of this being a double header and them needing someone with fresh legs. Problem is Brooks is so incredibly bad right now. I can't tell if he's even trying anymore.
Funny how everyone is blaming Brooks. Everyone on this board knows AB is sucks right now and probably everyone within the Rockets organization thinks the same except for dumbass Adelman. This **** is getting ridiculous. This one is on Adelman. 1) he plays brooks 2) he can never call a legitimate play out of a timeout 3) he throws lee back in to take the final shot? wtf when was the last time lee hit a shot during crunch time?!??!!?
