    Aaron Brooks has already been 100x the NBA player as Terrence Williams. I agree Brooks screwed up, but don't insult the good years he had here by comparing him to a scrub who has barely played in 2 years.

    Maybe he and Martin were traded? (Martin didn't play much in the 2nd half)

    If he just walked out then what the hell is wrong with him. :eek:

    I can understand why he would be mad. I mean, Flynn is way worse than Twill.

    All GM's get it wrong sometimes when it comes to trades.

    Yeah.... ok. Even if he did or didnt walk out on the team, it makes sense for them to keep it hush hush. They are probably looking to dump him for peanuts. If he did in fact walk out on his team 4 days before the trade deadline, the buyers out there would probably pass on him. They MUST try to get something for him and the other 09ers. I dont care too that they might be covering up for him. I think they need to do what they can to get this guy moved ASAP even if it includes covering up for him.

    After Terrence Williams disappears, he cites “stomach ache,” but sounds sick of watching

    Kevin McHale offered that Terrence Williams had an upset stomach, which probably would have ended any question about why Terrence Williams did not return for the second half. Williams, however, made it clear he was merely playing along.

    Asked how he felt, Williams said, “Wonderful.”

    Told McHale had said he was sick, Williams went with that.

    Asked when he felt it come on, Williams said, “Right when halftime started.”

    Williams, who had been in the rotation over the past week, except for the game after he missed a practice, had not played in the first half. Chase Budinger got the minutes at small forward. He played well, too, hitting 6 of 8 shots for 15 points and getting five rebounds in 18 minutes.

    “Chase had been practicing good again and I looked at Terrence a little bit,” McHale had said of the switch. “And Terrence wasn’t feeling good tonight. He didn’t come out in the second half. He had a stomach ache.”

    Williams, however, said he did not have a stomach ache until halftime, and he seemed “wonderful” after the game.

    Always cooperative, he offered answers with all the sincerity of Crash Davis teaching Nuke Laloosh clichés on the bus.

    “I felt it,” he said.

    “I think I’ll be out a week or something.

    “Stomach hurt.

    “It’s like a virus.

    “Threw up once or twice.”

    Mostly, however, he seemed to be sick of watching other people play basketball.

    His tone made it all pretty obvious, but if it had not, he added the giveaway of being “out a week or something.”

    His frustration is understandable. In his fourth season, Williams has been benched by five coaches, including the two in the arena on Saturday. He said before the game that he was happy to be back in New Jersey, where fans and “people that know basketball” understand what he can do.

    There is a good deal he can do, but now that he has been benched by Lawrence Frank, Kiki Vandeweghe, Avery Johnson, Rick Adelman and Kevin McHale, it’s well past time to pretend that it is everyone else’s fault.

    Sometimes it takes the right situation, as we were reminded again when Gerald Green, on his second 10-day contract with his fifth team, was asked if Jeremy Lin is an inspiration. Williams could find his right place and right time.

    His place on Saturday, however, was on the Rockets bench. Assuming he was sick, he did not seem too sick to be in uniform and on the bench. The Rockets gave up a first-round pick to get him. He has gotten opportunities this season, with some in the past week. With the trade deadline days away, he seemed to have checked out.

    The week began with Williams missing practice a day after McHale said he played because of the way he practiced. It ended with Williams missing the second half. And while a teammate was left behind in a hospital bed, he said he might be out or week or something.

    Of all the things difficult to believe, as Williams collected another DNP-Coach’s Decision most unbelievable of all is that it is all everyone else’s fault.

    ⇈ Bury that ****. All Rockets fans should look to posting and tweeting positives. No room for negativity in the next several days. Help boost that trade value.

    I guess watching his former team(Louisville) is more important than supporting his current team... :rolleyes:

    Haha I thought the guy couldn't sink any lower and now he did. Funny how people were getting sympathetic over his little comments about taking nerds to dinner and all that. The guy is a nobody and irrelevant. I will take Wafer 10 times over this chump. NEXT!

    First time Ive heard that Williams is being late or missing practices. If that is the case its no wonder he gets no playing time, but I suspect he would have been suspended if true.

    Also, I find it shocking that Williams has not talked to the coach about his playing time. Maybe if he asked he could find out what he was doing wrong and fix it.

    If true, that's pretty disturbing, on both sides. Twill is going to get pretty much all the criticism, and he deserves some, but Mchale would be lying about the situation. Completely unnecessary.

    Definitely not on the same page there. And thats AFTER he finally got time.

    Thats gotta be frustrating for a coach or a manager. Can understanding sulking and being a space cadet when you're NOT getting time. But when you do get a chance, then you show exactly why you were UNRELIABLE in the FIRST place, you force a coach's hand to NOT include you.
