Who is the better player, Aaron Brooks or Steve Francis?

4 HOFers on it? Take this as an insult because I know how you like complaining about it, but like another poster said you seem like the type of person that has minimal basketball knowledge, looks at the stat sheet, the players on it, and lets that do the talking.

Having 4 HOFers doesn't mean anything, that Lakers team wasn't even better than the previous ones, there is a reason they lost to the pistons. Hell, the 97 rockets team had 4 HOFers that rank better collectively.

Yes they surprised the lakers, but any rockets fan knows that Bynum starting was the best thing that could have ever happened. Ever since Pau was matched up with him, we got owned. We played the epitome of small ball like a young college team. Relying on our fans at home and the energy of the arena we kicked their ass at the TC but got owned at the staples for the same reason. When we win by 20 at home, and lose by 20+ on the road, don't you think you should make some sort of conjecture?

I love how you try to Play AB's game down like that. If you had any common sense you would break it up into strata, his stats at home when the rockets won, and his stats on the road when they lost. THere was no chance in hell the rockets were going to win those last 3 games at the staples, and those AST/TO stats you are pulling out of your ass come from that, especially when the whole team played that awful.

 

THE FRANCHISE, the only thing he couldn't do better than Brooks is shoot the three. Francis was a better rebounder, defender, and yes passer.

 

Don't want to be mean, but your reading comprehension is terrible. I said that compared to small guards, big players are slow footed.

First of all, Hinrich is 5 inches shorter than Lebron. Secondly, you've lost the argument when your cherry-picked selections consist of a guard who is considered unathletic (relative to his peers) and one of the most athletic freaks of nature the sport has ever seen.

Slow feet/zero lateral quickness relative to small guards. You can check the combine results of guards in the league if you like. There are a bunch whose speeds (on the 3/4 court sprint) is at least 10% faster than Durant's.

Reading is fundamental.

 

The stats I pulled out are from facts, the denial you pulled out is from your ass, I'd have to say. You don't have any good argument because no stats or facts or whatsoever can support your agreement.

So you think the whole team played awful, but AB should be excluded for his untimely pass, his bonehead movement, his 1 on 5 got stripped actions? AB could make his shots like Francis, but he couldn't make his teammates look better by any means in that series, which means failure for a PG.

It's quite clear Francis had a way better playoff series than AB ever had, averaging a near triple double, and you simple deny it by insulting, because you have no fact to back you up, just the " AB can't do nothing wrong" mentality.

Did I play down AB,? Maybe, but that's because you played down Steve Francis even more by ignoring all the facts. it is very clear that Francis at his peak was way better than AB right now. He was a top 5 pg in NBA, while AB can't crack top 5 in the conference.

 

Prior to Brooks getting the record, it was held by Luther Head. Do you want Luther back on the team?

 

Francis was a better player....but he was not a top 5 player ever or anywhere even close.....
