    Kyle Lowry was 0-7 with 3 assists in 20 mins whereas AB was 3-9 with 5 assists in 26 minutes.... Lowry did pass pretty well a few times but lets not overrate him either.

    Lets not forget that defense was a lot better when Lowry was in. Some things just don't show up on the stat sheet.

    And the fact that Lowry ran an offense and got tackled by Melo.

    you forgot to mention we were consistent 2-5 points ahead of the nuggets with lowry in and when brooks checks in we lose the lead like crazy.

    Well if we keep getting this "Breakdown" every game like Leaving Blake/Brown

    open in game 1, doing nothing while letting curry go off in game 2, and

    missing open shots while picking up a rediculous amount of fouls against

    chauncy in game 3, expect something else to happen next game cus we're

    against CP3

    when brooks isn't making shots his whole game falls apart.

    Not to mention, when we were actually trimming the lead (thanks to Scola) late in the fourth, instead of deferring to our hot man (once again Scola), Brooks chucks a wild 3 when we are already shooting a pathetic percentage from deep.

    Well he was last year. But Scola's clearly been this year. His defense has been mediocore this year, but the lack of a shotblocker has made him look worse. When you have a smaller guard, it's good to have an athletic big to come over and help. However, RA's forgot about Jordan hill.

    What a arrogant yet stupid statement!
    We actually don't need to make the open jumpers, we would've won every single game if we could score more points than the opponents. Yeah, it's that easy!

    LOL - so Brooks centric.....Ellis went off in game 2, and in game one Shannon Brown got them back in with all those 3s...not Brooks guy....and then Chauncey was CRAP tonight.....outplayed...both he and Brooks were bad.....

    I am not saying Brooks is playing well, but the team overall is the problem, not one guy, but I don't expect folks who hate the guy to be fair, but then most of them have no concept of the game of basketball to begin with...

    If you paid any attention, AB actually had some nice assist. He looks more into getting his teammates involved this year. I thought thats what you guys wanted from him this year :rolleyes:

    He doesn't do much else exceptionally well besides score, right? The whole idea of him being the best player on the team was pretty stupid to begin with, IMO.

    Oh and Brooks constantly waiving off Yao on the low block is freaking annoying as hell. Happened a few times this game as well. YAO, GET A FREAKING BACK BONE! Demand the damn ball man! :mad:

    If Yao wants the ball at 7'6" then he should go get every fricken rebound......

    CP3 is going to torch AB and the criticism will get even louder

    I'm not overrating him and i never said we need him to start because of his scoring. You still have Martin and Scola in the line-up to get you scoring. Lowry's defense is what we need.

    Brooks like passing to Hayes more than Yao or Scola; my observation from the three games. I don't know if Adelman has an one on one post game play for Hayes or if Brooks is just passing him the ball.
