Yeah normally I'd be incredibly pissed since we could've had this game. The fact that we do have their lottery protected pick and that I've been looking at Kate Upton all game along with a few highlights, I'm not all that mad.

Gerald Green scores for the other team and then Brooks fouls for no reason at all. So sad.

I really hope we look to trade him on draft night or in a package at some point by the start of next season while there's still a huge potential tag attached to his name and some good rookie numbers.

Besides those last two sequences, he didn't have all that terrible a game. But is he right for a team with Deron and Dwight?

I'm sorry, I just really don't like his style of play.

He showed some flashes of promise, but he's gone right back to the player I watched all last year at Providence.

I'd get value for him ASAP before he is what he is in other team's eyes.

And he makes a lot of dumb plays.
It's beyond just rookie mistakes, he just thinks slow and his BBIQ is very mediocre.

Again though, it's not his level of play that makes me want to deal him, it's his style of play and his BBIQ along with his awkward slow movement.

Yes, he is great value for where he's picked, but that's why I would move that value for more then it's worth before you're stuck with this guy and he hasn't improved and doesn't fit and still makes bone headed plays and decisions all the time and now when the stakes are high and we're a team with yearly title aspirations and not just an aw-shucks lotto team.

Yeah, at least the game was entertaining. Couldn't ask for more from this game to be honest.

Green's shot was so hot that he was scoring for both teams...

I doubt they even make the playoffs. Can't believe it was even close without Deron, and then to lose like that...ugh.

I like MarShon a lot, which is the reason I hate to agree with you here. I'd love another Gerald Green type at the 2 (only much more consistent). I would love a slasher and someone who can hit the open jumper when given the ball from the post.

Yeah but they're missing their best player who's their point guard and they might make a massive upgrade with a trade by the deadline and Rubio going down... I like them at the 8 seed now unless Portland makes a big upgrade at the point.

Ronito · Post #55 » by **Ronito** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 3:22 am

At least Gerald Green played really well. Guess those guys on ESPN LA radio were right for once...he's a much different player than before.

Really enjoyable game with Brooks & Green & even playing well.

Farmar has to be moved pre deadline, he will be sought after by playoff bound teams lacking guard depth.

Im loving Greens energy & throughout his what 3 games when he has an open 3 I have more faith he'll sink it thank Morrow right now. We have to get him signed to a good deal.

Brooks had a great game apart from the block & stupid foul. Twenty three points off 11/16 fg with 5 rebound and 7 assists is a great game.

I don't see how he will fit in with Howard and Williams other than leading the 2nd unit scoring as the go to 6th man type.

I still like his game though he slows the offence down

Did Terrence Williams ever show up?

What's the word?The bird is the word.

PetroNet · Post #58 » by **PetroNet** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 3:25 am

sign me up for trading brooks if we can get ok value for him and sell high

he needs the ball in his hands to score. thats not realistic with williams on the floor and either lopez back or D12 here. and his defense is suspect

Aussie 2point0 · Post #59 » by **Aussie 2point0** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 3:28 am

That crappy offensive foul call came back to bite us.... Can't believe Morrow's crap 3 point shooting at the end.... Greene needs to be signed for the rest of the season.... Great pick up for us....

Chutney Lee and Chase Budinger Really?

Someone always comes out and plays a great game against us but 2 of them?

Did any one else see Morrow completely lost on D when Dragic splashed that corner 3 ball?

Someone said if we could get a slashing type who can hit the open jumper instead of Brooks iso style to play the two. Was trying to think of those type of guys, suppose Derozan is that type of player but he is suspect from the 3 so could become a liability.

Its hard really, maybe look to take the Howard package that we were offering of Lopez, Brooks and picks for stud like Aldridge and just stick a spot up shooter like Morrow at the 2.

Marshon shaky bottom lip. Can we cultivate this kid before dumping him?

Avery that's your player, coach his ass

I sure as hell don't mind if he stays either. Like I said, I like the kid, but nothing this season taught him how to play away from the ball for too long.

If he ever makes it to free agency, I sure as hell wouldn't mind bringing back VC for the minimum, but that's not going to happen. Plus he's had the chance to work with Howard already.

If anything, I'd love a slasher at the 3 and a consistent shooter who can play defense at the 2 (not a pure shooter like Morrow).

I have major questions about his game as well , but it's not like he's not trying. He's old, buy he's still a rook. Take the kid and teach him something Avery, don't just send him in the corner. That kind of player handling can be alienating.

Twill was/is a mess. Favors never felt welcome. If were rebuding, teach your only young player something he can use. Or he can just be you 4th straight 1st rounder who does nothing for you

You're blaming stuff like fouling with almost a minute left down by 2 on Avery?
