Great all around game in a hostile environment....
Yao went 11/15 30pts 13reb....
Ron-Ron with 29pts
and Brooks off the bench with 14pts

So what's the deal with Brooks, H? Is he going to get the lions share of playing time at PG? I have Rafer on my fantasy team, and so far he's gotten me crap.

Looks like he is getting lots of minutes, he played the entire 4th quarter!!

What I need most from that spot is Assists. Is he that type of player, or is he more of a scoring threat?

Believe or not the last 50 games or so dating back to 07-08, he is averaging 16pts 7 assists, and I strongly believe if he didnt get hurt vs Utah the Rox might have won the series, he plays great def.
But these first couple of games hes putting up pedestrian numbers, might change might not, The Rox are really high on Brooks, he was the player Sac wanted in the trade but the Rox didn't give him up.
To answer your question he does try to pass more than shoot.

Quote:

Tue, Oct 28 Brooks will miss 1-3 weeks because of a bone bruise in his right ankle.

Advice: Brooks averaged 14.4 points and 4.1 assists in seven preseason games. The Rockets' first-round draft pick in 2007, Brooks averaged 5.2 points and 1.7 assists in 51 games last season. The Rockets open the regular season against Memphis on Wednesday.

LMAO. I was reading Hollywood's post, and saying....

Brooks (who I do like, BTW) has only scored 16+ points twice in his career, and only had 7 assists....once.

Ooooohh, my bad.

You boys look good, BTW. I've been recording their games (God, do I love my DVR). Artest adds a nice dimension of being able to score inside as well as hit 3's like Battier. If they're healthy, I think it's gonna be Lakers/Rockets in the WCFs, not Lakers/Hornets.

Don't forget Rafer vs Sasha so he can "and1 him" again. That was classic!

Tough loss tonight, That offensive foul on barry with less 10 seconds left in the 4th quarter was horses**t, its ok, I guess 82-0 is over with now.
