This guy is one of the most annoying Rocket fans imho
Our favorite undersized shooting guard has finally broken 20 ppg.
Also Brooks is leading the league in three point made and attempt.
Appreciation thread go!

what happened to that other girl in your sig? The asian one with the nice rack
I agree with noob cake, imo. Brooks is nice but I don't see him ever breaking this plateau. This is as good as he'll ever get. And tbh Kirk Hinrich put up these kinds of numbers back in the day too.
Lowry seems to be a guy who is more inconsistent than Brooks, but when he's "on" he's a much bigger impact player for the team.
But this is just a Mavs fan who tbh doesn't watch a ton of Rockets games. I'm more interested in watching a contender.
I like to switch them out periodically. I'm thinking about changing it every week and making it a " s of the week" type of thing.
LMAO, Hinrich NEVER put up the #s that Brooks is putting up in his first real season of heavy minute starting basketball. Also LMAO at Lowry being a "but when he's "on" he's a much bigger impact player for the team." Yeah, go talk to Portland and Laker fans who made a bigger impact in the playoffs last year.
Houston has backup QB syndrome, they thought Sage Rosenfels was the , now this idiot noob keeps looking up Lowry's skirt. What's sad though is even he knows Brooks is the better player. He just hates on him, because he's a Yao fan and he hasn't watched Lowry play with Yao enough to know EVERYBODY STRUGGLES getting that slug the ball.
Way to hate on your Franchise player; but I should have expected that, once a fan of Luther?
go look it up. Hinrich didn't have the point totals, but he had seasons where he shot a FAR BETTER percentage, along with more assists and rebounds.
If you think Brooks is going to become an elite PG, you're kidding yourself. This is the absolute peak he will EVER play at.
By elite PG noy j kid or nash like obviously , but he is becoming an elite scoring PG for sure. And believe me I am not overrating him, check his scoring numbers recently, he has been on a tear.
7/7 from 3
10/13 from the field tonight![]()
I did look up his #s which is why I LMFAO at you.
Hinrich at his peak wasn't even as good as Brooks is now in his first real year of starting and you want to act like that's some indication of Brooks never becoming a better player. Especially when Yao comes back and he gets even more wide open shots (
which will help his shooting percentage......which is already historically higher than hinrich's)
What's next, are you going to tell me Aaron Brooks is the next Mike James, because of the one year James had in Toronto.
BTW, when did I say Brooks will become a "elite" PG? but there's only about 3 of those.......and when was the last time a "elite" PG won a NBA le? I'm not even sure I want one of those. They have to have the ball too much.
FACT, Brooks is one of the best PGs in the entire league.....Hinrich is not, Brooks > Hinrich (seriously I can't even believe you dropped that comparison)
Anybody who compares Aaron Brooks to Kirk Hinrich = instant credibility lost.
3-4 years ago people said Hinrich was on the cusp of being a top PG. I know you're probably 13 and didn't even know who Kirk Hinrich was back then, but the guy had quite a following.
Just like Brooks right now. I just don't see it. I don't see him being any better than he is right now, in fact I see sharp declines coming in his game over the next 3-4 years, just like with Hinrich.
You must not watch many Mavs game then.
Boom roasted
Yeah, I'm 13, I was 13 when Hakeem lead the Rockets to a le you moron, but you wouldn't even know about anything like that.
People never said Hinrich was going to be a elite PG, most of his hype was because he was white.....sadly that was the truth. They thought he was a up and comer, who played tough defense, and had a high basketball I.Q.
Hinrich NEVER had Brooks athleticism nor outright scoring ability, you're literally comparing apples to oranges. Which is why that's one of the dumbest comparisons I've ever seen on this board. Brooks is still learning and gets better each year.....and he's still better than Hinrich ever was. Which is why if you're going to hate, atleast throw in Mike James who had a better one hit season than Hinrich ever did.
Except Kirk is a pretty decent defensive player. Brooks has been exposed countless times on defense this year. Tonight, he was playing Conley for Christ's sake.
Can you read, I said Hinrich was a tough defender. Guess what, Alston was a good defensive PG. Still doesn't mean they're bettter than Brooks. As for the Conley drop.....I don't really understand that, the guy is a decent young point and he didn't really go over his seasonal averages again Brooks.
Alston, Hinrich, Lowry were/are all about the same class.....Brooks is better.
Funny thing is you try to knock on Brooks by calling him a SG......how about you fill us all in on what position Hinrich "the great" was moved to.
Oh in case you were wondering....Hinrich wouldn't be able to pass the ball to Yao either.
Yao is a scrub; lets trade him for Eddy Curry + Al Harrington
I heard Al is pretty good at dropping statlines.
Hinrich has never been the impact player that Brooks is on a game at any point in his career. Brooks is so much better, that 30 out of 30 teams would take Brooks over Hinrich without question (even if it was the Hinrich of 4 years ago). As a matter of fact, Brooks is so good, that there are only about 5 teams in the league that would stick with what they have over Brooks now, and he hasn't even realized his potential yet. If we can somehow get our 7'6 to stay healthy next season, with the weapons we have now, you will get an eye opening look into how effective Brooks can really be.
1. New Orleans
2. Utah
3. Phoenix
4. Boston
5. Oklahoma City
6. Denver
7. Milwaukee
8. Dallas
9. Chicago
10. Golden State
...all will take their current PG's over Brooks right now.
only in the world of delusional ass Rocket fan would Yao Ming be the problem and Aaron Brooks the answer.
That's why you guys are so much better than last season, right?![]()

Are we reaching epic ttlong trolling status yet? LOL
dude I am not a homer...I have always said Yao and Tmac were overrated, but brooks is legit.
He had chuck hayes, battier, and ariza starting with him. Ever since we got martin teams don't have to focus on him and he has been putting 30 point games like it was nothing. Believe me, this is a nonhomer comment.
^Mono, I did go a little overboard saying 5 teams, but Dallas and Denver would be better with Brooks as their pg. As for the second half of your post, WTF are you talking about? Yao not being healthy has been a problem for us this year, and it makes no sense for you to say otherwise. I was saying if he can stay healthy, Brooks and everyone else will flourish because of it. I never said we were a better team this year without Yao (where did that come from). In fact, I was saying the exact opposite.
I will admit, I have been pissed at Brooks about his decision making at times this season, but he's really flourished at the point since he and Martin have gotten adjusted to one another. The game just seems like it's become very easy for him.
20ppg is not his peak. He was averaging just under 20 and since the Martin trade he is averaging over 24 points.
