we need to play Aaron Brooks more minutes and rest Nash. Yes, if it was Dragic replacing Nash to give him rest, I'd be worried. But Brooks has already taken a team on his shoulders, and I trust him to take Nash's place to some extent to give Nash some rest for the playoffs


Perfect post/ +5 internets to you good sir.

Brooks has already been a starter and did a great job at it for the Rockets last year. He was also doing good this year until his ankle injury. I trust Brooks way way more than i trusted Dragic (and i was/am a big fan of Gorans).

We need to start pulling Nash's minutes, and have Nash shoot a little more. He is a great shooter, but doesnt utilize it anymore. Have him take/make more shots earlier in the game so we can build a good lead, than let Brooks maintain that lead.

We all know that Brooks will be taking over the starting PG spot next year. Time to get him some more experience running in our system.

Only four shots taken and six turnovers last night for Steve--Not good.

He just didn't have any juice left in his legs, and clearly is still being bothered by the pelvic injury

Anyone else keep thinking "that should be Dudley" every time Hill missed a wide open three?

Im thinking, after the Nuggets game, that it would be beneficial to both our team, and NAsh, if he sit out at least one game.

He's almost hurting the team with his turnovers and missed shots. Plus, we get to see what Brooks really can bring to this team.
