    AB this is you time.

    The problem is if any of BJ or AB get in foul trouble or hurt then we going to see HEAD running the PG :eek:

    Im not picking on your post but it really doesnt matter who is younger this year, and I hope to God we dont hold onto Rafer for a few years. I really think the Xfactor is Brooks. Jackson is really good. When he has freedom he is the best offensive and defensive option. His handle is not close to Rafers but Bobby drives and finishes really well. Honestly as long as he doesnt dribble out the shot clock and jack up a shot like Rafer I think its a plus. Alston has played really hard and well at times but for this team I think the combo of Brooks and Jackson is a plus. I think Adleman may be saving a few plays that involve Brooks speed as well. ;)

    Thats a really good point. And we know how the refs like to pick on rookie defenders. Landry, Scola, and Brooks are in for a shock called the NBA screw job.

    By the way has anyone noticed the difference in Wins when our PG takes the ball from Tracys Double Team and drives it to the basket. We win every game that happens. I just Rafer would realize this and do all the time. He takes way to many jumpers for no need. If your wide open its for a reason, take it to the hoop!

    the only team brooks will be a factor in is against the Suns where he can take Nash. the Jazz and Spurs both pack the paint and Parker and Deron will abuse him.

    They were going to abuse Rafer too. The one way to get back at them is score points on them on the other end.

    I have never seen a more pathetic Rafer hugger.

    Rafer won the spot from James because he sucks, and he won it from Francis because he was out of shape at first, and injured later.

    The green light switch is now not in the hand of Rick's. It has been switched on by Rafer. Brooks, work hard and get prepared for next week, boy.

    Nah, Stevie deserves one more chance. He's still in the middle of what should be his physical prime... at least biologically speaking.

    Hmm, well this sucks. But once Yao went down my expectations went down right with him. I am very proud of what the team has done and I think we will be a top contender next year.

    Anything from here on out is a bonus.

    Once again, Morey is a genius, trading Bonzi/MJ for BJ or we won't even have a change with AB and Head as our PG.

    Maybe the Rockets will handle it as holding steady til "Rafer gets back", then he'll Willis Reed them onto playoff victory.

    Playoff advancement looking highly doubtful. The more time for Aaron Brooks gets negated by more playing time for Luther Head.

    Oh damn, thanks God we have Bobby Jackson. And yes, it is really AB time to step up.

    Of course I don't wanna have Rafer struggling in the postseason. I hope he will come back hungry.
