He's not playing well and is frustrated, especially with him losing his starting spot? Geez, Occam's Razor, dude.
Well,not only does his offense suck for a while now but he is committing several and sometimes even crucial turnovers everygame. He is basically a liability now. He is starting to remind me of Steve Francis who doesnt even score.
If AB is purposely playing like a jack-ass to decrease his trade stock to stay in Houston, I think we should all be pretty flattered because it seems he REALLY wants to stay in Houston.
They need to just give him back his starting spot so he'll quite pouting, let him build his value and trade him. This is old.
He has always been a shoot first point guard, but he had gotten so much better at finding cutters and limiting his turnovers. WTF happened to him? That play, where he was all alone in the backcourt and attempted to catch it with one hand, only to turn it over, defines his entire season so far. Definitely his mind is elsewhere.
Plus/minus last 5 games for AB: -10, -11, -6, -11, -12. That's -22 per 48 minutes over a 5 game stretch.
I believe, we as fans, often lose sight of the level of skill and talent it takes to play out there. Adam Morrison would run circles around every single person on this board. Get the f*** outta here with this saboteur ****.
I love Brooks.. but am really really pissed at him. There are a lot of people who gets injured and struggle for sometime but then find ways to help team one way or another... with him, it seems like he just comes and hurts team. I don't wanna blame it on contract.. if contract problem is killing him mentally, then it's all his fault. That's not an excuse at all. I expect better performance from him every single game because he is an important piece of this team.
We would all like to see him play better. After all, Houston is his 1st team. The problem is he is regressing and it sucks for all involved.
Kinda off topic but anybody know where DD went? I would have expected him to show himself by now and defend Brooks.... Regarding the topic I think Brooks being regulated to a backup position really destroyed his confidence. I think he's the type of guy who has a lot of respect in his game, and being "demoted" to backup position is bringing out the worst in him. Unfortunately with Yao Ming gone I don't think paying Brooks big money makes sense anymore. Hopefully he gets traded at the deadline...for rubio, maybe?
Level of skill and talent, wah wah wah!! Every person on that floor is a professional. Deal with it. My problem is with his attitude. You can't do both, play bad and cause trouble with the other team, and stay productive on the floor.
Well it looks like the angry mob has hit its stride and thier is no slowing it down. The guy has played 27 games (coming off an injury) this season and according to the fans he is already: 1.) a cancer 2.) angry about his contract situation 3.) hopefully traded 4.) a saboteur There has been zero patience, zero talk of utilizing him in a different way, and zero loyalty. Congrats Houston, you are full of class.
now when u play bball do u play bad purposely ...no one does Besides its contract year why would he try and settle for less money .. its just that he doesnt play as good with the second unit then the first unit....oyah and this is the worst thread ive seen this year by far Quit hating he played alright today
I agree ...nobody seems to think that maybe he isn't playing good just cuz....Is everyone forgetting who was TMIP last year...other teams would wish for his talent ...no class
