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

no, the main reason is Rafer not playing.

with TMAC and Brooks starting, the record was 5:1.
without TMAC and Brooks starting, the record was 11:3.

 

This thread and all of the hundreds more just like it are just becoming funny, I swear the Rockets could have Magic Johnson as the starting pg and there would still be tons of threads saying they should trade him or start whoever is on the bench. I'm pretty sure the Rockets could have all the players from team USA and you ppl would still complain about them. This is a pointless thread Lowry will get his chance to be the starting pg over the offseason, until then you are stuck with Brooks, like him or not.

 

I endorse this post.

 

I'm just correcting some technicality:

games won: sample=20, it's 16:4
shooting percentage: sample this season=612, it's 40.5%

there you go

 

and the thread is about Brooks starting.

 

The topic itself is getting old.

I said: I'm just correcting some technicality.
Learn to read, my friend.

 

The thread is about him starting, plus you compare him to Lowry since Lowry has been a Rocket. Both those things point to the SAME SAMPLE SIZE.

If that's not what you meant, you are an extremely poor writer who does not know how to articulate what he is thinking.

Need I point back at your definition of a "chucker"?

 

From the first post:

Hmmm. "Since Lowry's been a Rocket." So this would seem to be the data set you're using to compare the two.

So let me get this straight: you don't want to listen to how our record is so great with Brooks starting and complain about the sample size, then you turn around and say how you're "fine with Lowry shooting open 3s, since he seems to make those pretty well."

He's a 26% CAREER 3PT SHOOTER! It's right here in black and white, and you ignore that about Lowry while bashing Brooks' FG%? You gotta be kidding me. Are you 8 years old? That's the definition of hypocrisy.

 

Actually, you need to learn to read.

I said he STARTED THE THREAD based on the same sample size, not that he made the games won vs. FG% based on the same sample size. That came later.

 

Here are some quotes from the first post:

So, yes, he was talking about percentages. He didn't bring up the win-loss.

And, again, seeing plays within the games is not equal to games played or win-loss record.

It's Ok, let's not just argue for argument's sake.

 

It's titled "what does coach RA see"... if he only sees win or lose, he won't be a coach.

 

It's actually more like this real ROOKIE year since the only games he played in last season were all junk time in the ends of blowouts.

 

The answer is obvious even one doesn't know basketball can tell. Because this team was winning when Brooks started. You don't change the line-up when it works. That's simple.

If Rockets get lose control someday with Brooks as starting PG, you may have a reason to put him to then bench. Right now? No way.

I don't mean Lowry is not good. But you guys please be real. Basketball is all about result. Can you tell me why Manu is not a starter for Spurs? Is he not good enough to be a starter? Forget all those bullshxt analysis. Just face the truth. Spurs won everything when Manu came from the bench. Why not kept him on the bench?

 

i think that lowry should start over brookes. play brooks with the quicker second unit (wafer, landry, etc)

 

So exactly what are we winning??? We had 22 games winning streak this time last year with Rafer, hello? anyone remmember? how did that turn out for us in the PO?

AB doesnt belong to NBA starters, period. The sooner the Rox realize it the better chance Rox 's gonna get in PO.

1.First and foremost, his D is Atroucious! and the room to improve is very limited.
2.He's a streaky shooter at best, its pretty obvious now.
3.His speed is way overated, at least for now, because he doesnt have the maneuvering ability as great penertrators like Paker does. He can sneak under for a quick layup once a game, that's about it.
4.His passing and dribling are mediocre at best.

 

Both Brooks and Lowry have been very sloppy with the ball lately; RA needs to tak them to the wood shed on this

 

SHOOT FIRST PG and people accept that and praise AB. Dude we deserve to go out in the first round if we are that delusional in this town.
