Only consolation is that the porous defensive backcourt of Martin/Brooks has been improved by 100%. Martin/Lowry with Dragic backing up Lowry is way better defensively. Courtney Lee can also play defense.
Dude lit it up tonight in his third outing with the Suns.
17 pts, 7 assists and 2 steals in 21:16 minutes of play.
Sheesh...where was this Brooks for the first half of the season.
yeah great trade!

where the was he? are you re ed?
I"VE SAID IT ALL ALONG, the rockets are re ed, they totally ed his situation up. you don't go from 20/5 to that point just like that. Incompetent s up in management.
he was 6/7 and 2/3 from 3. thats the brooks we saw last year and we knew was still here untill all the turds though he mysteriously started to suck.
lol
nash/brooks
vs
lowry/dragic
morey made that trade with a team in our conference. I can't believe he was cheap to the point he would trade brooks at his lowest value just to avoid paying him.
AB is a migit score first PG. I guarantee you cannot win a championship with a guy like that starting. He can't get to the line and he can't play defense. Should we have gotten more for him? Yes I think so but the bottom line is he was upset all year about not getting an extension, fresh start was the best thing for him.
Only consolation here is that Brooks is a half year rental and we got a pick.
You guys traded a combo guard who can't defend, Brooks isn't someone you're gonna find on a good team. It was a good trade for you guys.
Yeah, that's true. He's not a good defender but man could he score and he's super quick. Hard to let go of someone that could ball like that.
Re: Game Day: Suns @ Celtics
Brooks' third game as a Sun is already pretty much as good as any regular season game Dragic ever played for us. (I am carefully excluding the masterful demolition he performed on the Spurs in Game 3 of last year's playoff series against them. Brooks still has not done anything nearly as memorable for this franchise as that. Yet.)
Dude is a baller and we got him for peanuts. The trade was a straight up heist.
From Phoenix Suns BBS![]()
We needed more toughness defensively though. I'm a realist. We needed more toughness from the Van Gundy days. Ron Artest gave us that but now we are a finesse team. We needed some enforcers. So now we have Courtney Lee, Dragic, Lowry which shores up our perimeter defensively. Kevin Martin is servicable defensively as he's been playing better on the other side of the ball lately. We are still going to suck defensively until we can get a big shot blocking rebounding center.
Idk where you found that, but chances are it's written by a moronic homer who said replacing Amare with Turkoglu was an upgrade.
The fact remains that Brooks was cancerous to the Rockets.
He was discontent coming in for Lowry. In his mind, he is better if not at least equal to Lowry. This mentally was killing his confidence and play.
Now in Phoenix, Brooks is forced to backup Nash, who is undoubtedly a better player by far.
nuggets fan, i hope you r saying what you are because you hasven't seen brooks play, and have been glaring at his stat sheet this year.
if so, thats a valid excuse.
brooks sux as does goran dragic. Really doesn't matter
I'm a Suns fan who thinks you're a terrorist sympathizer, that any better?
I haven't been glaring at his stat sheet, I'm glaring at the fact you never find players like him on championship winning teams
sucker must never reveal sucking iden y.![]()
Best thing to happen to the Suns since acquiring KJ in the 80s.
That better be meph because it would take more than crack for me to believe what I just wrote....
