    Whenever Yao got the low post, Brooks pass the ball to somewhere else. Brooks is not a starting point guard material, but Lowry is.

    I think Lowry is better at forwarding it over to Yao than Brooks is. Brooks seems like he's trying really hard to take over the point position Rafer set, the shoot first/me first mentality whenever the game is on the line. Lowry seems more ok with pushing it to Yao and letting Yao do some work. All in all, I think it's a nice balance between the two (Brooks and Lowry)

    Both point guards fail miserably at giving Yao the ball if he's fronted, although to give Lowry his due, at least he is always open to trying to give it in if the opportunity is right, Brooks just gives up.

    The 4th quarter has shown that it doesn't really matter who the PG is when Yao is fronted.

    Yao: tell Adelman to teach you how to hold on to the ball, establish post-up position, and NOT get bullied by a guy half your size .. kthx bai

    Agreed. Brooks is terrible at passing to Yao.

    How many times did Lowry get the ball to Yao in the post in the second half?

    Don't you want to? Would you like to play with Brooks who is constantly denying you the ball even though you get the low post position without fronting? :)

    Uh.....Yao doesnt get the low post position without getting the ball. I mean, sure once today there was a poor pass from AB(or was it Lowry) but for the most part, if the pass is there, its made. There is a reason the pass isnt made when you THINK you see Yao open. It ain't because Brooks is selfish.


    Hint: Look over Yao's shoulders.

    I never think Brooks is selfish. I just don't think he is capable to read the situation and make the right decision a PG should make. He is more like a undersized shooting guard with good speed. He has the ability to dribble but his court vision is so limited. On the other hand, Kowry has a much better court vision than Brooks. Brooks can come off the bench and contribution some good minutes for the team out of bench.
