    All that stuff with Clutchfans last days really makin' me funny. Guys, some of you are really out of your minds.

    AB

    Brooks had good game against Lakers.

    Comments:
    oh, he looks good with Yao bla, bla, bla.
    AB is amazing bla bla bla

    Brooks played his second 40+ minutes game next day against Curry (player with much more bigger potential and guy who is much better then him already)

    Comments: Brooks screwed up and other stuff like that

    Game against Nuggets.

    Rhytmic player Aaron Brooks (production of every shooter is based on in rhytm or out of rhytm situations) fought all the game against foul trouble and play not as good as he can.

    comments:
    Brooks declined bla bla bla
    Part ways bla bla bla.
    Lowry as a starter bla bla.

    By the way: Brooks shoots 39% from 3, he has 7 assists per game and made 4 dishes in late game situations against Lakers (in last seven minutes of fourth quarter, when we need it most) and average 15,3 points per game.

    If he'll have one breakout game against Hornets or Spurs, he stats and production will rise on projected level in terms of PPG (something around 17+ and FG% (42+).

    Trade him? Very funny. Decision making? It's something other, just let the guy play. It's only a three games

    Battier

    He plays good defense against Artest. He plays good D against Melo (couple of charges, gettin' him to foul trouble, cuttin down his FG%) and he was destroyed by Ellis (cause Monta has a huge speed advantage on elite Shane, not just a Bat in age of 32). I don't know why Lee hasn't played all the game guardin' him. But, I am not a professional coach. So, he shoots 45 percent from the Field (only 5 rotations players has better FG% (Chuck, Scola, Yao, Lee and Bud), he had just 3 TO, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 blocks and a lot of tips against Nuggets and had only a five 3 pointers attempted in that games. He plays his role just better than average. It's not very good, but it's not that bad.

    Best Battier of this season will score around 6 points per game with 1 three-pointer made with couple of assists, rebs, one block and one steal on 42%+ from the field and 37,5%+ from three. Team doesn't need much more from him in stats sheet.

    Compare it to what he's showin' right now and you'll see that he is not playing very bad in terms of stats and defensive performances

    Rick.

    I got laughed when somebody mentioned that we should part ways with him if this things will continue to happen. LOL. People just don't understand anything about game of basketball

    For those who said bout dat:

    Please remember how this team got 22 game winning streak and almost win a Conference with injured and always double-teamed T-Mac and role players around him and fought the Jazz in playoffs. How Michael Finley shot on last second of the fourth quarter in Spurs game against Hornets grabbed away from us a division title in 09. From team with Artest as a creator and immature Brooks as a decision-maker. Remember a winning season with a 30 million team filled with second rounders and shut your mouth. Please, don't look like a clowns.

    He is our best part. Not Yao, not Scola, not Morey. Rick. Adelman - is everything that we've have and he showed us that we should just trust in him and he'll do all the work.

    Yes 0-3 - is a garbage start. Last time we had 0-2 start.... Yes, in first T-Mac year, when Jeff tried to build a new team. Adelman is just doin' the same thing right now.

    So just stay calm, be patient and cheer. And Rockets will do whatever they can. They effort against Adelman has never been questioned.

    Yao is gettin' better and better in every game and team will do the same. Just sit and watch his game against Magic in preseason and compare it to what you have seen in the first three quarters against Nuggets. Night and Day. And it's just a few weeks of basketball for him. He's rusty right now, team is rusty too. But he needs some time. Rockets? yes, they need it too

    I know that my opinion goes against the masses on Brooks' play this very early season; but, I think he is working hard to fix his passing game and is doing it well.

    He is getting the ball to Scola a hell of a lot more than I have ever seen him in the past.

    I believe that Scola, despite his stats against the Lakers, could have given Brooks 3-5 more assist. Scola finished stronger that game and has been doing very well ever since.

    Brooks will continue to work on his passing game (and get flamed for it) for at least a quarter into the season. This will benefit the Rockets in the long run because Brooks will go back into scoring mode with the ABILITY to make the pass.

    I hope he stays with the Rockets and I hope that my observations are correct.

    I feel Brooks lost his confidence since the Golden State game. I thought i heard the commentator said something about coach didn't like him jacking that quick 3 in one of the possessions. And ever since then, he's afraid of shooting. It seems like he has no confidence and just dribbling around trying to penetrate and back out and penetrate and back out. The point is....he used to shoot with confidence and without hesitation. Now, he's not even looking to shoot but to penetrate?? I mean he can shoot anytime he want...opponents will always give him that cushion due to his quickness. But i am seeing from the Denver game he's not doing that anymore and the Rockets need him to score. That is why he's hurting the team...of course he was horrible in defense...i think that always carry to his offense. It didn't help Adelman yanked him with half of the quarter minutes left in the 1st quarter.
