What does coach RA see in Brooks?? What does he see in him over Lowry??

not every team need a true PG... it really depends on the team's personel and identity....

Derek Fisher is not a visionary PG and constantly looking for his jumper (he can't even drive)... he just fits...

 

Clearly Lowry is a better player and point guard over Brooks and should clearly start Lowry over him.

Adelman is just too loyal to Brooks right now because Brooks knows this playbook slightly better and he has been a Rocket longer. It's really just loyalty if you ask me.

I'm sure next season, He already knows Lowry will start unless he gets injured.

 

Oh, so that's your criteria for a "chucker." That makes Chris Paul a "chucker." Good thing we don't have THAT guy on our team!

Meanwhile, my definition of "chucker" is when a guy takes a lot of BAD shots. Hello Mike James!

Aaron Brooks is approximately 3rd banana in terms of offensive ability on this team. That ain't bad on a team with Yao, Scola, and Artest. If Brooks isn't taking those shots, that means Artest is jacking 'em up like he was in the Bulls game. Like it or not, Brooks is one of our best offensive options. There are only so many guys in this league who can get by you AT WILL, and can hit the 3 as well.

 

AB only suit beside T mac. He just need shoot shoot and shoot.

 

Brooks is the future of this team. Both Morey and Adelman said it.

 

Brooks is not a point guard material.

 

because team record: 16:4.

4 losses:
14 point collapse in Spurs game
20 point collapse in Chicago game.
Utah game.
Lakers game.

winning percentage 80%.

 

Allen Iverson shot 42% when he carries his team on his back to the Finals. Would you expect him to hand the ball to Tyrone Hill and get out of the way because his percentage wasn't great?

Again, Brooks has very rare offensive gifts. Even the threat of what he can do pays dividends for us.

We're what, 16-4 with him starting this year or something like that? You're gonna argue with a 16-4 record?

 

You must be kidding. Yao usually practise running while Brooks and him are both on the court.

 

Brooks problem is he's a one gear guy, no stop and go or change of direction which makes him very guardable. If he learned that and get some vision, he could become a problem.

 

Clearly you weren't at the Bulls game, when we couldn't get the ball inside to save our lives in the 4th quarter. I was. What do you do when you can't get it to your post players?

The planet where all I did was follow your criteria:

So I guess, by your logic, being a PG chucker isn't always bad, is it?

You can't have it both ways.

 

Brooks FG% is barely about 40. Very Rafer-esque. Unlike Rafer, Brooks has no court vision and has never heard the meaning of the word "pass" unless he's trapped under the basket - in which case, 9 times out of 10, he'll throw it up anyways only to get swatted to kingdom come by a 7 foot defender. Yet you want our 40% ballstopper to chuck *more* because that increases our chances of victory. Riiiiggght.

 

Brooks is a big problem. If no change happens in our PG, no hope for Rockets in the playoff. ..

He has to know how to pass the ball and how to control the rhythm

 

I have been saying the same thing when Brooks was treated like the next coming of Chris Paul.

He is overrated.

and Von Wafer is overrated too.

 

brooks is more of a threat to score 20+ points, which is what we need to take the pressure of Yao. Lowry is a better PG and probably overall better player than Brooks but he doesn't score as much as Brooks.

 

So when the offense breaks down, and we can't get the ball inside like in the Chicago game, who do you want chucking it up? The only other sane option is Artest. Personally, I'll take Brooks every time. Did it ever occur to you that his FG% might be bad because he takes a lot of those shots when there aren't any other options left?

But you're right, he's really hurting us. That 16-4 record we have with him starting is just awful.

 

Find a better PG who can.
