Forgot to add: If he be a pass first guy and shoot when he can't find a good shot for Martin/Scola, I will be more than happy to have back in the starting lineup because bench will enjoy having Lowry. His move better not result in less scoring by Martin and Scola.
Adelman's personal agenda against Brooks is getting ridiculous. He shouldn't let his feelings about Brooks get in the way of winning. He needs to get off his high horse and start Brooks, already. This team is going nowhere fast.
I think I read these exact sentences 100 or even 500 times, who knows. My favorite part is when he is clearly not good at it, and the next phrase is that "he needs to accept his role". Maybe he just isn't the "Jason Terry" that everyone clamors for him to be?
Hey if you are going to try to troll my post, don't whine about it when I troll you back. Whose personal agenda are you talking about? No matter what you say, Lowry looks to be better at helping us win, otherwise RA would start Brooks. Isn't that what you, DD, and leebigz has been saying when RA was starting Brooks? "Oh look! You must be wrong because RA agrees with me about Brooks!" I've heard that argument from all three of you fanboys every time, that the coach agrees with you. Now all of a sudden RA is not starting him, that makes it a personal agenda. Very hypocritical of you there...
Yeah... can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not, because Brooks is clearly doing well and helping us win regardless of his role...
Im not trolling you. I hear the same arguments over and over again: "He just makes us better" "He runs the team better" "We look so much better" WE ARE NOT BETTER. At best we are the same. Brooks is clearly struggling in his new spot, our PG production as a tandem is clearly down, yet none of you fanboys will step up up to the plate and say "hey maybe its not the player, maybe its the role" when there is CLEAR evidence that this MIGHT be the case.
Aaron can score when he starts. Ideally,he should be a 6th man. That doesn't suit him. Unfortunately,he can't run the engine or defend. Last season he had a prominent role even after Martin joined us,because Kevin needed time to integrate with the system. This year,Martin has quite rightly taken over the role of the main scorer. This has made things even more difficult for Aaron.

Look, if we end up starting AB and it helps us win more games, then fine, but bench Martin. The entire problem is that AB and Martin CANNOT COEXIST and unfortunately for AB, Martin seems to be the more efficient scorer for at least the first 3 quarters. Either way, I am fine with AB starting if we put in lee, but we cannot have two defensive sieves as our starting backcourt. I want the Rockets to be successful way more than I care about who starts and I know we can't win with both Martin and AB playing together.
He is missing open shots right now (does not rally matter if you move him to starting lineup if he is gonna take 9 3's and make 1). Look at it logically: He is one of those guys who wants ball in the hand and shoot. I would rather have that kind of player in the bench when Martin and Scola can provide necessary offense in the starting lineup. I don't buy in to that he can't fit in this role. He ABSOLUTELY can. He just have to let his frustrations go away and accept the damn role. I don't think he is that good of a player to decide what coach's need to do with him. So lets wait until he start making those shots (and throw away his frustration)... then we will know if he can be effective off the bench (it suits him 100%). He is not going to make a damn difference in starting lineup unless he start hitting shots that he is capable of. Getting raped by Barea and Patty Mills and then shooting terrible and turning ball over like crazy... and then expecting job back in the starting lineup is just stupid. He fits exactly what a good 6th man type does. Shoots well, and shoots and shoots and shoots and shoots and is fast. Putting him with Martin and Scola will only each one of them's scoring and make our defense worse with Brooks and Martin backcourt. Again, thinking logically, Brooks fits perfect with the bench...... I will wait for final decision until he starts making shots he used to make.
You are right, we were wrong about him. He is clearly more of "Mike James". Tell us again why Adelman has such an "agenda" against him. Instead of "admitting to being wrong" like you said you would, once he starts Lowry for good.
I will add something else to my post: We don't have a consistent scorer off the bench right now. Bud and Lee does not contribute offensively every game. Patterson does not get that many shots. Hill is too raw. If Brooks can do what Landry last year that provide instant offense. Take 60% of bench shots... and play freely.. don't worry about passing much unless you are getting doubled or so... fits perfectly to his playing style. I think if he just starts making shots that he is capable of... he will give us 12+ points off the bench every single game. In simple words, we can get more out of him with the second unit than first unit because he won't get that many shots with the first unit.
