Right. That's what D. Morey's thinking That's why Brooks has so many opportunites to shoot and attact this season. He must be a very wanted man in this summer.
Ha Ha HA !! That is exactly what he has been all year....19.6ppg...and 5 assists. The guy has taken it to the next level, too bad there are fans who don't understand the value of that. DD
Means nothing? You're kidding, right? For those of us who have followed the Rockets since they moved to Houston with Elvin Hayes, the fact that this feat happened for the first time in team history is, to put it mildly, a bit stunning, especially if you consider the players Houston had during all those many years. It means a hell of a lot. Not just about the players, but about Adelman's offense. If Rockets fans aren't excited about this, especially looking to the future, with all due respect, they are crazy.
Yeah, yeah, let's trade the second-highest scoring PG in the league: http://espn.go.com/nba/statistics/p...per-game/sort/avgPoints/position/point-guards (and that's counting Tyreke Evans as a PG which he isn't any more)
All I wish is................... Dear Kevin, Puhhhhlease teach Aaron Brooks the nuances of drawing fouls on all those drives to the basket and those pump fakes off the spot up jumper. Puhhhhlease. Puhhhhlease. Puhhhhlease.
Oh, AB gets fouled, he just doesn't get the calls, because he doesn't exagerate the contact like Lowry, Martin, Scola, and Battier do....AB certainly could benefit from learning that skill. DD
Brooks doesn't have the body control to draw fouls like Lowry and Martin do. It has little to do with "exaggerating the contact."
reasons to trade brooks 1.he is so short he gets blocked every game,especially against taller teams like lakers, he can explode against a parker-less spurs team but against teams like mavs and lakers you really notice how inefficient he becomes 2.terrible decisions. brooks/martin is starting to remind me of francis/mobley 3.lacks "it" 4.would rather pike up points instead of assists ,going for his huge payday 5.never will average 9 apg. he is a chucker 6.doesnt play defense, and since martin cant play D,one has to go the only positive is he is a good 3 pt shooter but those are a dime a dozen. Every team has a "brooks". Nate robinson, eddie house, ty lawson, williams,collison etc.... You can find a "brooks" in literally every draft ,every year. He is playing out of his mind right now, if your ever going to trade him, time is now. However, I believe he is underrated because he has had no national tv games, and we wont be in playoffs. If the rockets have the 11th pick, and since the lottery is filled with big guys, if you are going for a bigman, then you will end up with the 5th best big man taken, whereas since everyone's draft board is filled with big guys, you can probably get the 2nd best pg in draft after wall at 11. the first 10 picks are wall, then a bunch of swingmen and bigmen. You have a chance to get the 2nd best pg in draft at 11, and trade brooks+ ny picks for bosh.
What? LOL - the guy has great control, he contorts his body wonderfully to avoid the contact and get the shot up. What he needs to learn to do is take on the contact and exagerate it so the refs can call it. Tell ya what though, the people ragging on Brooks that don't understand the game of basketball are helping me clean up my own personal GARM, by rapidly expanding my Ignore list. There is a positive in everything.... DD
Except, the team, next season will be centered around Yao Ming and we will need a starting Point Guard who is much more geared towards playmaking. We only need to move Lowry into that position. Brooks is developing into a good scoring guard, who's focus is firstly on his own scoring potential before considering other player's potential.
WRONG !!!!!! A. The team will not be centered around an injury prone 7'6" center who will play around 20 minutes a game. B. When Yao is in the game, the wings will make the entry pass and Yao needs shooters around him to give him room to work. C. Lowry can't shoot, and he runs the floor, Yao would be worthless playing with Kyle, he doesn't run well. D. Look up Lowry's playoff stats to educate yourself on how to win NBA basketball games, and pay particular attention to Kyle stellar post season when teams stopped guarding him, and referees stopped bailing him out. E. The team is the Houston Rockets, not the Houston Yao Mings. F. DD
The small percentage of people on the GARM who understand the game of basketball. :grin: Kind of like the site was back in the day where real basketball was discussed and we were not fighting back the tide of the teeny bopper street ball brigade. DD
Nice.... Very nice... First they would have to know who the Big E was and what he did and then learn the History of all the Great Big Men who have come thru this Franchise...
That "I Miss Yao Ming" thread seems kinda worthless then, huh? Never in history has a guy who will "play around 20 minutes a game" propel a team to a championship as you said. Or were you just trying to defer the hate Brooks was getting that night by promoting the incompleteness of our team? Anyway, I don't necessarily advocate starting Lowry over Brooks with the team we have now (even +Yao), but his late game decision making is not something to that we can excite us. He still played well even after logging heavy minutes (along with a few others), and I hope people take that into consideration when most of our starting line-up will most likely play less-than-spectacularly tonight against the Jazz. Long flight + back-to-back + #3 seed in West = tough odds to win or even play well.
I understand the value just fine. I want him and Brooks to play well together as much as the next guy, and I never even doubted it in the first place, but don't jump the gun... That's all I'm saying. as cliche as it is, take it one game at a time.
this guy will be taken around 18th in draft and has brooks written all over him but bigger,taller,and better D http://www.nbadraft.net/players/willie-warren to bad morey isnt a risk taker , if brooks can net you deron williams,boozer,bosh,amare you get rid of him and replace him easily with 11th pick for willie warren(and ironically ,warren could be better than brooks,plus we optained bosh from the original brooks)
You must have known nothing about those Kings teams. Chris Webber was far more dominant for Adelman's Kings than Yao has ever been in his career. WHy did he not need a point guard who could only pass the ball? The entire point of Adelman's system is that everyone is involved in the passing, the scoring, and everything else. I think a young Bibby is the best comparison for Brooks at this point. He needs to shape his game like that. A guy that could go off for 30 on any given night and consistently put up close to 20 ppg and about 5 apg.
