Uh oh...

These rebounding numbers don't bode well for Brook

Worry more when Drummond is playing minutes against our backups Hamilton and Scola, as Brook plays 20 minutes a game these days

i think we should actually play hamilton more and lopez less this game..... Hamilton can pull drummond away from the hoop with his shooting abiality, and if hamilton is hitting shots maybe even force van gundy to use drummond less then normal.

brook usually struggles with drummond on BOTH ends.

[Prokorov]

I don't mind the minutes I Brook can finally harness that damn aggression of his. How did he go from 25pts in 26 minutes against the Bucks to 13 points in 20 minutes tonight? Brook needs to become the team's wrecking ball when he gets on the court. Pedal to the metal

Brook didn't play well tonight but just from a raw stats standpoint (not considering efficiency), 13 points in 20 minutes is still very good.

Regardless of how the stats look, Brook played like an average center tonight, and not up to his potential as the best post scorer in the conference. We need a smart & aggressive Brook, not the overthinking & passive Brook.

he isnt the best post scorer in the conference, and some one argue not a good post scorer at all. he is a face up player and a catch and finsih player. his posting up usually is only effective when he faces up off the post or does the rerverse pivot/rip through move to draw a foul.

:nonono: and to think there were people pouting over the fact that Marks didn't get this guy

haha... this is epic, the song says well

only 1 guy wanted waiters... many including myself bashed him to no end. waiters is a scrub who does nothing but scoring and his scoring efficiency is terrible. so he really does nothing well

The difference between Harden and Westbrook - Westbrook drops a 51 pt triple double on 44 shots. Harden dropped 41pt/7reb/15ast on 20 shots.

Sam Presti is a jackazz for not paying to keep this team together

But the W......

I don't think it's Presti's decision, probably the owners. Ya, that was terrible, should stay in Seattle or move back.

Lance isn't doing very well either.

If I were the Nets FO, I would take both guys with their current contracts... both are talented players when their heads are at the right place and I believe Kenny can help them in playing the right way, Lin and Brook's leaderships will also help... the Nets desperately needs playmakers, both Dion and Lance are good playmakers... both are going to do head scratching stuff from time to time, however, they have the ability to win you games...

This team is all about building the culture right now. These two guys are about the worst in the league in that area.

Let's hope Foye can do some of that. Lin's gotta improve.

Dion Waiters %TS ranks in the bottom 25% among all players. His AST ranks in middle of All players . He is a chucker, not a play maker. A chucker might shoot the game winning shot but he is the not the guy who win you games.

A chucker will bring down a team's chemistry down, teach young guys bad habits. Why should we bring a guy who can not you games now, and will have a bad influence on the young guys for the long term?

A chucker is likely to leave better impression than he actually is because he appears in the highlights.

Lance is a different story.

Harden is destroying the league right now and headed for an alltime season

32 points 8 rebounds 12 assists on 64 TS% and 33 PER

Do you consider harden in the same league with curry, durant, westbrook, lebron, and leonard?

Harden is better than Westbrook. Harden can drop 40 on 20 shots by getting to the line. Westbrook drops 50 on 40 shots.

Absolutely. I've had him as a top 5 player since he moved to the rockets. elite offensive talent who despite alot of shaqtin a fool moments on defenses grades out near nuteral when you look at D stats.

I'd put him below durant and ahead of westbrook

when they got rose people here were upset and said we should have been in on that.... i said then they got the losing end of that deal and even without the money rose is a horrible add as a bottom 5 PG. he hurts you more then less talented guys as well since he still thinks he is a star and thus has the volume of one but not the production

westbrook for mvp

M~D~A~~~~~

They aren't gonna win big tho.

[CalamityX12]

Westbrook needs help in OKC. Not another big but someone on the wings.

He won't last the season going this hard carrying the team IMO.
