    We still lost in the 1st round every year Rafer was here. Folded in elimination games every year along with Battier. Battier and Rafer haven't been clutch since Duke and And1. Slap the floor if you agree.

    I agree with you. Unless the Rockets start running a bunch of pick and rolls with Brooks and Yao or Scola, Brooks isn't going to be handling the ball nearly as much as Parker does. The Adelman offense isn't built that way.

    I think the screens and picks for Brooks at the end of recent games is more by necessity than anything else at this point. With McGrady out, Adelman is improvising. He's trying to come up with potential weapons to use in the playoffs.

    What madness drives a person to compare Tony Parker to Brooks?!

    It's funny. It feels like half the board hates Brooks and the other half compares him to Tony Parker.

    That's not role players' fault that you can't pass the first round. The Rockets just simply were not as good as Dallas. For Jazz cases, Rockets were hit by injured. The first year Yao is not fully healed and jazz was a little bit better than Rockets. The second year RAfer was injured, Yao was out. Tmac and Battier both played injuered. Even like that, if Rafer had been healthy, they should had real chance to beat Jazz. This year their talents level is much improved. They added Ron/wafer and Scola/Landry/AB are in their second year. All of them are capable to score 20+ a game easily. How many players could average 10+ points in coach JVG's time?

    the fans impatience is the only thing that sickens me

    brooks is a second year player but seeing regular minutes only for the first time in his career. have some dang patience with him and he will pay off. him a lowry are two guards we need to keep and develop long term they will be better than anything we can get outside of the team and they are damn cheap too

    its not like rox are gonna win it all this year so i would rather let the young talent develop so we dont suck and be an old team year after year
