22 points on 11 shot attemts in the first half?

Doesn't he realize PGs aren't supposed to score?


Or in the words of those clutchfags atm, AB is a stupid SG with low bball IQ! Trade him asap! He can't pass ball to YAO!

Who need a scoring PG with low bball iq with Kevin Martin on SG?

Who need a PG with high bball IQ? Yao.

Whats is failure? A Brooks/Martin backcourt together with Yao.

But i see, wont be a problem, either Martin or Yao will sit in street cloths on the bench.

Good logic Mavs fan, but you seem to have forgotten about Brooks' best position

Lowry/Brooks
Martin/Budinger
Battier/Ariza (Battier starting to cover Martin's defensive prowness)
Scola/Hill
Yao/Andersen

6th man Brooks

Yes, Brooks would be perfect in the Terry role. But i doubt the Rockets would play like that and i doubt Brooks would accept that so easy.

I also wonder if Ariza would take the step back to the roleplayer, even after 50 games jacking up shit he didnt realize he should stop it.

Brooks bench = nice

Brooks&Martin 36-38min together = fail

Letting Ariza jack up shit without benching = fail.

Brooks/Martin is an excellent scoring backcourt. But the game is played on both sides of the floor...

Why can't Brooks pass the ball to Yao? Give him time. He was basically in his 1st NBA season last year, he's a better decision maker and more composed player this season and will probably be even better the next one. If he busts in that role, start Lowry and bring Brooks off the bench.

Lowry/Martin combo seems intriguing just because of the potential of the number of fouls you can get so early in the game.

When you have a 7'5 center who clogs the paint and alters shots just by sheer size it covers up alot of defensive deficientcies.... the biggest thing that is effecting out defense right now is NOT having that guy.

No. Not at all, but he was a lot of fun to watch. I was pissed when the Suns traded a 1st-rounder for cash that could have been used on him. Turned out with Dragic, but that's not the point.

LOL, this post = fail. Brooks is NOT fit for a "Jason Terry" role. Houston needs to put shooters around Yao, when Yao gets back this will be the perfect backcourt for him. He sucks defenders in and then Brooks and Martin..along with Battier rain 3s from the outside.

Maybe you should do a quick forum search, the guy just simply hates Yao. I agree with what you said but we can see with our own eyes how bad we suck without a 20-10 post player regardless of who it may be.

Even if he does hate the guy, what he typed is true. He typed everybody struggles to get the ball to Yao...what part of that statement is not true? We've had that problem since Yao joined the team. The player who could give Yao a entry pass the best was Rafer Alston and everybody ran him out of town tarred and feathered....but even Rafer couldn't consistently get him the ball after Yao was fronted.

That's a problem you just have to accept with him, I'm not in denial about that fact as I stated in my post above. The one thing that does though is it allowed our perimeter players more freedom to score ala Portland in the 1st round last year.

Yao wasn't mobile to begin with, so I doubt it really kills his game, because that was never his game to begin with. And we don't need a 20-10 Yao.....he just needs Yao to stay healthy and pick up the slack in the half court when Houston starts to struggle to find points in the half court.

The problem is even is you think Parker and Ginobili are better right now (which I do)...it isn't by as much as you think and in a couple of years Brooks and Martin will most likely pass them. Again if you have two non championship caliber teams, I'll take the youth for the future.

LOL, you're fucking clueless. You do realize that if Yao has ONE MORE SERIOUS FOOT INJURY HIS CAREER IS OVER........done, finished, no longer in the league, put a lid on his career.....RETIRED...Yao himself even admitted as much. Which is why the team is now building a roster better suited to compete in the future without Yao (as in right now today, already planning for life without Yao in the future) while at the same time adding pieces for Yao next season (which we might as well call Yao's last ditch effort/chance at trying to overcome his foot problems...that procedure he had is the last procedure and chance he has at that)

Even Les Alexander recognizes that Yao isn't going to be on this team forever and even he recognizes that Yao's career is in jeopardy (which is why all the moves we make now are to better compete without Yao), you're the one that needs to open your damn eyes. Next year could easily be Yao's last year in the NBA.

Second, please stop bringing up CP3 and Nash.....Yao wouldn't be able to catch all of those fancy passes, he's not athletic enough to consistently catch those no look passes on a dead run the way STAT, West, and Chandler were. Brooks doesn't have a problem getting Scola the ball and sure as shit didn't have a problem getting Landry the ball when he was here. Also when the hell did Lowry prove he could consistently get Yao the ball? The guy has barely even got to play with him.

I don't know if you've realized it or not or maybe you just haven't excepted it yet, but the Spurs championship window has now closed.....what good is Ginobili going to be in a few years when he's already starting to break down now? I'll take youth over that everyday when both teams are not championship contenders.




And yes, Martin and Brooks gives Houston one of the better backcourts in the NBA.


Manu is old, which is why, 3 yrs back it wouldn't even have been a question.

We are not talking about which pair will be better in the future we're talking about right now, I don't know if you realize this but Ginobili is playing like the "Manu of old" and not like the "old Manu" right now and Parker has been hurt all season but he has looked quite well since his last return, besides to win a basketball game you have to play both sides and Parker/Ginobili >>>>>>>>>>>>> Brooks/Martin defensively.

Are you Rockets fans seriously telling me that if you had to choose a backourt to win a playoff series right now you will feel more confortable with Brooks and Martin than with Parker and Ginobili?

Besides let the honey moon end, you will hate on Martin more than you did it with T-Mac.

Brooks is a budding All Star PG, he is miles better than Lowry, it is not even close.

Of course a few people disagree, but they don't understand basketball.....and are probably just kids anyway.

Why the hell would you do that? Scola complements Yao perfectly.

Yao needs to come off the bench. If he is only capable of playing 20 min/game why the hell should he start?


Some Yao off the bench is better than none at all.

Kenyon Martin is pretty much our perfect PF; plays amazing defense and rebounds damn well, although he has low bball IQ.

:sleep How many "pass first, high assist PGs" have lead their teams to titles in the past decade?

Brooks was > than Lowry last year, He's > this year, and he'll be > as long as both are on the same team. You need to wake up and realize Houston will never win shit by just forcing the ball into a player who you can't force the ball into, because he can't beat a fronting defense no matter who's passing the ball.

I love Yao, but honestly it's getting to the point where I'd rather have him leave and play somewhere else so we (true Rocket fans) didn't have to put up with ass hats like you. People who can't see any of Yao's faults even it's leaving mushroom stamps all over their face. These idiots will blame everyone else on the team, without willing to even fathom the idea that their "idol" might have serious faults of his own.

I was so excited when we got rid of Tracy McGrady and the "Tracy Trolls". Now because of dumbasses like you I'm starting to warm up to the idea of letting Yao walk so we can get rid of all of these "Red" Yao yahoos. We might lose more games (not that many more though, because Yao misses atleast half a season now anyways), but fuck it. The basketball IQ among the fan base will go up 10 fold.

LOL, Bosh is the perfect guy to put next to Yao....because when Yao goes down with a season ending injury, we'll have a go to scorer in the post. Or better yet...even if Yao is healthy and teams front his ass and completely take him out of the game late in crucial situations, we'll still have a elite go to scorer in the post/paint.

Yao's not leaving, sadly. All of the marketing he gets basically pays off his own contract and more.

While he is certainly not fit as a franchise player, teams will be lining up for Yao just because of the publicity that team can get with him when his contract runs out, including the Rockets.

Yao possibly leaving has NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW MUCH MONEY HE BRINGS IN.

Again......one more injury to that foot will put Yao into retirement. He even said so himself. So why wouldn't the Rockets start planning for basketball after Yao, just in case that exact scenario happens? (and that's exactly what Houston has been doing). They want Yao on the team, but they also know it's a very realistic possibility that his days are numbered.

Brooks is top 20 in the NBA in scoring, he has the 2nd most points for a PG in the entire league.

The days of the true pass first PG are over, with the rules disallowing hand checking the perimeter scorers have a distinct advantage.

Lowry would suck balls if he had to pass to Hayes, Battier and Ariza, and he stinks in the playoffs when teams realize that he can't shoot the danged ball.

Witness his stellar 33% shooting last playoffs, when Brooks was leading the team past Portland and taking the world champions to a game 7.

Brooks is the answer, he has started only like 100 games, and is nearly 20ppg and 5 assists....his assists are now starting to go up, once they replaced one of the Battriza combo with Martin.

Martin and Brooks are the backcourt for the Rockets next 7 years.

Lowry, is a restricted free agent. What that means is that he could be used in a sign and trade for Bosh.

Sorry to burst any bubbles with the truth, but hey...it is what it is.

Maybe we could trade Yao for Bosh....that works....

Yao's injury history is a major concern, and I for one am glad he is expiring next season.

The question is what to do with him? If he has a healthy season, he will demand a big contract, but man....we can not pay him big $$$ with his injury history.

I think there is a decent chance he might get traded.....I would trade Yao for Bosh now, or maybe Griffin of the Clippers.

Let him start over healthy somewhere else and let the Rockets go a different direction.

Now, if we keep him, fine, but he will be in a much smaller role going forward....and needs to work on his elbow jumper.....it is AB and KM's team now.

If Yao doesn't come back, then they would most likely somehow get Bosh, which they probably will even if he does come back. Point is, Yao has been run into the ground, mainly by the Chinese National Team

His games played stats:

02-03 played all 82 games
03-04 played all 82 games
04-05 Played 80 games
05-05 played 57 games
06-07 played 48 games
07-08 played 57 games
08-09 played 77 games

He was coming off injury once again when the CBA forced him to play in the olympics.

I'd keep Yao but he'd better learn the fake toe injury that Shaq figured out in his career to cut his game playing time down. Yao is good for 50-60 games in the season. I'd Bill Walton him and platoon the guy. Never play him on a back to back and limit his minutes around 30 mpg. Then at playoff time, unleash him to play big minutes. Now with Bosh, we can do this. We can use Bosh at Power Forward/Center and Yao and Bosh splitting minutes or playing together. There would be no better front court.
