Brook Lopez

[jerseyjac]

Brook is back and with a new haircut (well not knew, we've seen it before) but maybe now we can expect bigger and better things with the improved areodynamics...thank god he shaved down that wig, he had to have the longest neck hair in the history of basketball...

I honestly feel Avery and the coaching staff need to keep Brook close to the basket when running plays for him, this was really adding to his inconsistency...on one side you see a center who can now knock down 17-18 footer with no problem, but we cant fall in love with Lopez being a jumpshooter and last night you saw us go back to the blocks and Brook being aggressive...I really believe he listens to the coaching staff (maybe overthinks) and I do believe they are throwing a lot of new stuff at the kid (again 22yrs old, keep that in the back of your mind...) last night YES did a pretty good job on running the numbers and explaining whats been going on with Brook...

This is the ideal game from Brook, the jump hook looked beautiful and his low post moves which were quick but not rushed and aggressive enough without forcing...basically he knew what he wanted to do, he took what he wanted with not lettting the defender (Horford) dictate his offense; obviously his confidence level is high with the height adavantage...this can become tricky because at the same time you can see Brook understanding with some plays he has to take what the defense gives him...probably his best game this year, mentally he was focused and just playing the game...
