    Is it possible that Brooks is playing like crap on purpose? Don't give me that ankle excuse because Hayes was carried off the court after he rolled his ankle. He came back in a week and played outstanding basketball. Brooks was gone for a while and he is looking bad.

    Doesn't make sense to play so badly in a contract year either.

    let's put it this way, he's making scoring points a priority over finding the most efficient option on the court

    NO NO NO.

    He's a shooter. When shooter's ain't hitting ****, they look awful. He shoots a ton to get rolling and isn't the facilitating type when it comes to point guards, not mention that his defense isn't there. So low FG%, not making players better when his shot isn't falling and poor defense.

    That, IMO, is what makes Aaron look so bad right now.

    Yeah I don't get it, it's Brooks' contract year and he is not playing hard out for his contract. Maybe there was already a secret meeting held between Brooks and Morey and they decided that they would not want to resign him.

    Yes. He wants to make much less money in his career and be remembered as a worse player, because he has it out for the Rockets.




    :rolleyes:

    Where was Brooks on the bench? I was trying to locate him during timeouts and cutaways to the bench, and I couldn't find him.

    I can't blame you for saying that.. Brooks is really sucking big time. it's not about his ankle.... turn overs? it's mental.

    I know alot of people are angry at Brooks (me included), but the whole situation makes me sad.

    I feel for the guy, he's struggling to fit in.

    Exactly. Brooks is playing like garbage. Then he has an attitude every other game. What else can it be but him trying to sabotage his career? :confused:

    Didn't he receive a hard foul earlier and CLee had to hold him back from going after the MEM player? Maybe he did get hurt

    He was the starter for a year and a half. I feel for the guy too, but fitting in shouldn't be this hard.

    If it was an injury, I would have expected it to be reported during the game. He's kind of an important player.
