Congratulations Aaron Brooks 20 ppg/5.2 apg/2.6 rpg on the year!

[sefant77]

Still no defense, or?

And gratulations to 5.2 APG combined with 2.9 TO/G, awesome ratio.

Gonna be fun next year, Brooks and Martin demanding the ball all the time, Ariza tasting the sweet taste of chuc..eh scoring this season and still no one that can throw a nice entry pass to Yao

But since Yao or Martin will go down anyway...

It's dumbass fans like you who make it hard to root for the Mavs

So many people make this mistake and it's annoying. The Rockets didn't trade Rudy Gay for Battier, they wanted Battier and Memphis told them to draft gay and they would trade Battier for his draft rights. Houston would not have necessarily picked Gay had they held onto the pick. Also Indazone trying to pass that statement off as him blaming the assistant GM for that trade when he obviously made a blatant error. It's ok dude, Suns fans try to blame Kerr for trading Rajon Rondo all the time and that's just as re ed.

Exactly. I wonder what Morey did to him personally, for Indazone to hold such a fake ass grudge

I don't get why you guys think it was such a monumental rip off for Memphis either. Gay is a black hole who contributes nothing other than scoring. There's no way Brooks, Gay and martin would be able to co-exist. Battier is the ideal role playing small forward. Stud defender, good passer, high bball IQ, might not score but does everything else.

I don't get where this Shane Battier can't score thing is coming from. He averaged 14.4 points a game his rookie season.

He only shoots 7.8 times a game, and scores 1.24 points per shot over his career. He has shown that he can finish last second floaters and post up smaller players (you'll see this maybe once a game).

The reason why he hasn't been scoring during the past few years is because Adelman has been parking him at the corners 90% of the time.

I never said he can't score, I said he doesn't score. He knows that as the player he is there are other ways he can try to help his team win. He's the one player from Duke I can think of that isn't a walking vagina. Completely missed the purpose of my post.

Well, i guess its a give and go since we have to read everywhere we were chokers 2006 when no one would beat 5 against 8

Btw im not cheering for injuries and the Martin trade was a no-brainer but now u are again pairing up Yao with the biggest young "star" injury prone in the league, like u didnt learn the last years. And Brooks/Martin doesnt fit well for me, Martin need a Billups type beside him or Brooks need a Iggy type. Yes scoring blabla but scoring doesnt win championships, o Suns, o 2004 Mavs.

Does matter, our PG is 2x the scorer your PG is.

Yeah, the PG position is all about PPG

If you didnt realize we traded a scoring PG away to get someone that help the WHOLE team improving their scoring. And i take Kidds 10 PPG anyday over 20 PPG because all his other skillz and aspects of the game >>> 10 more points...

[djohn2oo8]

Wait, so now you're calling Brooks a PG? Make up your mind already, you just called him a SG!!!

[djohn2oo8]

Anyway, let's just hope for a Rocket's thrashing of the Celtics tonight

SG playing as a PG,

[djohn2oo8]

Because he can shoot, you call him a SG. Unbelievable, I bet you didn't know he could pass too?

Its sad when a fan of another team knows more about the rockets than a rockets fan. Thank you.

[Unholy Turkey]

Battier is an amazing asset to have. He's a lot more valuable than Gay. Do you remember at the beginning of last season when Battier was out? Our team defense wasn't as good. When he came back, everything went back to tip top shape.

Look at it this way, would you rather have a prime Bowen, or Richard Jefferson?

[Indazone]

I swear Djohn and Sook are the most annoying Rockets posters here. Totally clueless and can't see all I"m trying to do is make a point. Battier is a glue guy and great defender good three point shooter. I have nothing against the guy. Only that Djohn came out and said it was a dumbass trade so of course I said yeah Morey would make that Dumbass trade it has his rubber stamp all over it. Sook you can take your Yao hating to new heights..but incredibly moronic and rates an all time highs in stupidity. You can't can't even acknowledge he's a 7 time all star and he averages 19.9 and 9 boards. Those just don't grow on trees and he is a massive presence on the court defensively. If you can't see that..you are indeed a moron.

Yao is still our franchise player, and he enables Les to pay the lux tax and spend money on second rounders, yet some people want to kick him out of Houston.

Les is not that rich now that his First Marblehead stock is worth almost nothing.

So, I'm the first to come out and call the trade stupid? I called it a dumbass trade because I'm so sick of everybody bringing it up, I explained it before that they were in a win now situation, which is why they traded for Battier. You're not saying anything new, and HOW CAN IT HAVE MOREY'S STAMP ALL OVER IT WHEN HE WAS ONLY HERE FOR LESS THAN TWO MONTHS?

You still call Yao our franchise player, when Morey is building for life after him

Djohn making my point for me.

Yao is getting paid close to 17 million dollars this year and has yet to dress for a game. Are you seriously trying to argue he helps the Rockets' financial flexibility?

I thought there was some kinda injury exception clause we got that makes it so we don't have to pay for him?

Wtf are you talking about? You do realize tmac averaged 20 ppg and was a 7 time all star as well right? What was his problem though? He KEPT GETTING INJURED. Get your head out of your ass, its not even plain denial anymore...ITS IGNORANCE.

I never said Yao sucked, why would I? The fact is he is giving us 0 production... ing zero! You want to frame his career acheivements and enjoy playoff losses and losing seasons just because Yao is good when he actually dresses for a game...which has happened a fraction of the time during his tenure in houston.

If Yao is healthy (not true though), he makes the rockets better. I am not arguing that you moron. All I'm saying is that he is not the "Franchise Player" anymore. The guy can't even play starters minutes anyways...

Please, don't waste your energy tryin to argue, he thinks Lowry is better than Brooks

[noob cake]

Lowry is a BETTER point guard than Brooks.

Brooks is a SUPERIOR player to Lowry, but he is sadly a very undersized shooting guard (ie think AI with way less swag and driving ability, but better shooting range)

Lowry contributes MORE to Rockets winning as a team. Besides we are looking for a POINT GUARD, not a shooting guard who dribbles the ball upcourt. With Kevin Martin, one of the worst passing shooting guard (among slightly below all-star level to superstar level SG), we need a damn pure point guard to start.

Brooks would be a PERFECT 6th man, filling in for Landry.
