    Brooks + Harden at the 1 and 2 do not make for a quality defensive unit

    Brooks has done nothing since he's come back in.

    Brooks is garbage. His entire offensive game is based completely on his shooting from downtown. When he is not hitting his threes, I have yet to see a bigger waste of space on both ends of the court.

    No, but we need Beverly back - we need someone that doesn't turn it over.

    Neither is Lin and harden. At least brooks can occasionally hit a shot

    No starting PG on this team is the answer.

    Yeah but Lin has size. He has a chance. Brooks has 0 chance. Can't wait for Bev to be back.

    Look at Lin's resume, he's held in check or locked down a list of quality point guards this year. THis isn't hockey where goalies have 90+ save percentages. What % of the time does a man have to lock up his defender to be considered a good defender in your book?

    Any point guard will be better than Lin

    Brooks probably stays in front of his man better than Lin, but Lin has more length and can reach for the ball more. It's probably a wash. Gimme the guy that can shoot

    What does that mean? Are you being racist right now? With "noodle's dude" you mean Asian? If you are, you should definitely get banned right now!

    One positive thing I will say about AB's D is that he doesn't suck at D due to lack of effort. He does try and tries hard usually. I will give that to him. He sucks at D, simply because he is too short, slight, and light.

    Haha this is blatant racism.
    More than a wash. Lin can finish way better than brooks too. I don't think it makes a difference either way

    Lin and Beverley can "occasionally" hit a shot too. The difference is, Brooks takes about 18 seconds of the shot clock before he decides to do something constructive. And of the 3 PGs, only Lin can finish at the rim.
