lol low IQ Rockets fans; you people don't understand the importance of Yao Ming.
Not my fault that Clutch is a and runs Clutchfans like a North Korea in defcon 1.
LOL, that name is older than dirt. I just haven't gotten around to changing it. Plus you lose all credibility when trying to compare Head and Brooks' skillsets....they are nothing alike.
BTW, I love how you weren't able to argue against anything I said. If you were to put Brooks and Lowry on the open market all the G.M.s around the league would call Aaron Brooks' agent first and then Lowry after one of them signed Brooks. You're a ing re if you think otherwise. What you need to do is pull Lowry's out of your ass and open your eyes. Lowry is a backup on this team and he's best suited to be the backup on this team. I love him as our backup, but that is his best role for us.

all the championships an playoff victories dureng his time here speak a lot don't they?
Oh wait, the one victory was because of Aaron too anyways.
Don't be talking about my IQ dumb got faced mother er.....
jk.
But seriously noob cake, wake up. you can't be swinging from Yao's nuts all day long. And that explains why you hate brooks.
Once against, Brooks is crap. Empty stat, David Lee version of PG
Well you have to hope Morey can use the assets he built up and cash them in to get us the player we need, obviously we can't contend with just a Brooks, Martin, and Yao core.
You're right, how the do you think we even got a playoff victory with tofu Yao and took the lakers to 7 games when he injured himself again?
Lowry??!?!?
PULL HIS BAWLZZZ OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!
Really, we don't understand the importance of Yao Ming.![]()
I believe I already stated the importance of Yao Ming in this freaking thread....
We understand the importance of Yao Ming, but we also acknowledge some of his shortcomings and not just try to whitewash it away or completely blame his shortcomings on another player when EVERY DAMN PLAYER HAS STRUGGLED ON GETTING HIM THE BALL IN THE POST. The players around Yao change, one thing stays the same......consistently getting him the ball in the post...especially as soon as he's fronted. That's not on the passers, it's on Yao to seal off his damn man, Barkley (love him or hate him) who was one of the best post players in the league even said the same thing, but some dude who calls himself "noob cake" knows better.
Manu has declined some but he still brings a whole lot to the table. If we're talking about based on potential and what things would be like in 3 years...than yeah I'd take Brooks/Martin but as of today I'd still take Parker/Manu. I'm also pretty sure that most people, outside of Rocket fans, would do the same. Dont get me wrong your backcourt is nice and is definitely one of the better ones in the league I just dont think theyre thee best.
Well we damn well should be trading Brooks away for someone who could pass to Yao Ming....Lowry is no Nash or CP3, but he is a damn good passer.
All the Yao haters should realize that Yao Ming is not going anywhere; Les Alexander is no longer a billionaire; all his net worth are currently located either in China or in the Rockets franchise.
Get back to me when you are sober and not under the influence of cocaine.![]()
Who said they're the best???
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.
A couple of Rocket fans in this thread did, not necessarily you.
I didnt say it was by a huge margin either, I even said Brooks/Martin is one of the better backcourts in the league. And I wont argue with your take on the future, I agree that youth is always better when it comes to that. I was simply talking about right now.
LOL, you're ing 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 didn't have a problem getting Landry the ball when he was here. Also when the did Lowry prove he could consistently get Yao the ball? The guy has barely even got to play with him.
Get back to the rest of us when you finally have the surgical procedure that successfully removes your head from your ass and when you actually become a fan of this "team" and not just one basketball player.

Tmac is gone, so it's time for Yao to go too. He's never going to be more aggressive to get the ball, too slow and too injury prone. He screws the Rockets over every summer by wearing himself out playing for the chinese national team.It's time to rebuild through the draft and the get some guys that can complement the Brooks/Martin duo.
When does Kyle Lowry return? He's in one of my F-teams but I was debating on dropping.
Mary Kay aka. Kevin Martin is looking good...
Martin and Brooks are better now and it's not even as close as you think.
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.
DD
Go see how Knicks fans love all-star David Lee; Brooks = David Lee of SG
K-Mart and Brooks in the backcourt and get Bosh/Scola as Power Forward and Ariza as Small Forward means there's no doubling or fronting Yao anymore. Scoring will come from all over the court. TEAM! GET IT SOOK!!
We will get Bosh and then you'll see the twin towers again aka Duncan and Robinson.
Why the 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 should he start?
Some Yao off the bench is better than none at all.
best thing you've ever said, glad you aren't one of the people that choose player over team *cough*noob cake*cough*
Does noob cake really think Lowry is awesome and better than Brooks or is it just a shtick?
well, its not that he thinks lowry is a better player. He is a hardcore Yao nuthugger, and he believes brooks is going to take shots away from Yao, he feels we need a pass only PG that will pass Yao the ball everytime .
