I think Brooks would be a great 6th man. Tons of energy, great shooting, our young Jason Terry. But, Lowry isn't the starter we need. Putting him over Brooks won't do much. Now, if we could get a legit starting pg, we'd be set.
A.B. has a bad game and let's take out the trash! Wow, no player loyalty of any kind. If A. B. were thirty and injury prone, it may be justified, but he is a baby just starting in the league and he is really, really good. Let's move on people. Lowry shares time, great, but he simply can't score like Brooks.
and what will you do if things what I have been saying all summer (which at least in this early season is happening) and what CXbby summed up so well and logically in this post on the previous page keeps happening and Brooks gets benched or traded in favor of another point guard (whether that is Lowry, Smith or anyone else)? Seriously you need to come off your high horse saying other people's opinions are wrong when if anything History has shown that you and your opinions have been proven to be wrong more times than anyone else here.
Ish Smith is a pure point guard and that isn't dead in th NBA as you proved with your next sentence. Rondo is not an efficient scorer, he gets a few layups here and there off steals but can't shoot to save his life. Same as Ish at this point in his career.
This is all come to sorts because of the rise of some younger point guards in the league (rondo, d williams, even westbrook). Brooks doesn't need to lose his spot as a starter for us to start winning games. What we need to do is identify the roles of each player. Brooks can do what he does: make 3s, drive, distribute when needed all within his comfort zone. Replacing him with lowry would only disrupt things. They are different pg's and we should pursue the point to where we can use them interchangeably at an as-needed basis instead of instilling all our faith in one and moving forward. We have both for a reason, just need to use them correctly with the right players in rotation.
But wait, we are a championship contender, NOW. If we are not a championship contender, NOW, it is because we have too many good players. Getting rid of some of the good players would then make us a championship contender, NOW. Oh, and play Yao 0 minutes instead of 24, because as we all saw that was the way to contend for a championship, NOW, last year.
What? LOL ...what have you been saying that is turning out right? That Lowry is better suited to play with Yao? You mean the 0-7 3assists and 3 turnovers Lowry is better than AB? Sorry, I don't see anything that shows Lowry should be playing over AB... Seriously, I think your opinions are wacked out in regards to point guard play, weren't you the one in summer league saying Ish Smith was bad because his passes were always late? Never mind that I said that PG's take a while to learn their teamates, and more than any other position it takes longer to get that chemistry, and that PGs need better players around them to really show whether they can play. And, that Ish Smith looked great, and was not sure what you were seeing.... So, yes ! Brooks is better than Lowry, which Rick Adelman and Daryl Morey agree on being that Brooks is the starter. If he continues to struggle and Kyle finds a jumpshot, then I am sure he will get his shot....but don't count on it, historically Kyle is a backup PG.....for a reason. Honestly, it is amazing how this thread keeps being bumped up every now and again, just like the Brooks is not clutch one...until the peanut gallery realizes that it was an overeaction. Let me explain something, last year whenever AB struggled and Kyle did good we won, or when AB was good and Kyle struggled we won....but we NEVER won when both of them struggled. How did they do against Denver the other night? Of course most people are blaming Brooks........even though both were pretty bad....... DD
homeboy don't confuse what being on a high horse means. When people say get off your high horse, it means that you believe your opinions matter more than others opinions. just the whole "and this thread will eventually prove everyones opinions wrong." Jesus they are not facts, they are opinions, everyone is entitled to one, and yours are not any more or less important than others. People generally don't care that you have 25 million+ posts. If you think AB is awesome and lowry shouldn't start, thats great. I'm happy for you, but don't try to "prove" to other people that you were right. That's just lame man
Once again people ignore Lowry's 7 rebounds, of which 3 of them were offensives. Rebound = Hardwork and Effort. Honestly, how do people ignore 7 rebounds. Kyle Lowry was second in terms of rebounds in our team (behind Scola, the other hard worker) and second in terms of offensive rebound in our team (once again behind the hard worker Scola) Rebounds are perhaps the best indication of effort and hustle, especially when it comes to PGs.
DD only sees the 7 missed shots. He misses everything else because he is under the assumption that we need a scoring PG next to our scoring SG and PF. He doesn't care about the non-scoring from our bench. Lets load all of our scorers into the starting line-up. Hows that been going so far??
LOL - I know they are opinions but when people say get off your high horse, it means they believe they are on theirs. Thanks for the advice though Zippo.....I will try to remember it when I am riding Trigger. And for the record YoYo has been an absolute arse to me in posts here, so I am not going to give him any respect as he does not return in kind. DD
