Bow down to Brooks

[HurricaneDij39]

Remember when the Suns thought they were getting him for a part-season of Trevor Ariza?

MVP.

Do you and DorianRo have a Freaky Friday thing going on? Because it feels like a "Denver is gonna win it all" thread is something you might do in a full heel turn (as if you hadn't been fancying yourself a full on heel already).

And "Bow down to Brooks" seems like a thing that would only come out of Dorian's mind.

Dillon Brooks or did Scott Brooks do something to make him relevant again? Both are irrelevant.

Dillon Brooks is averaging 11ppg and 2 rpg while shooting 33% and 25% from 3 and he is defending a guy that is getting 25, 11 and 4 on 51% shooting.

Values a nut-puncher as MVP, lol

Who had better form, Brooks or Harden?

No, he’s not LeBron. Obviously.

But, as a former 45th overall pick and once considered by the Suns to be a throw-in for Trevor Ariza, “Villon” has carved out a damn good career…

I was joking in mine, but screw it…

Ah, I see. I didn’t know you made joking threads intentionally. Sometimes people have trouble with self-awareness.

He's slowly playing himself out of the league. He's a high volume shooter, terrible shot selection and terrible make percentage (39.6 FG%, 32.6 3PT% on 13.6 FGA/6 3PTA). His true shooting percentage for his career is currently lower than Tony Allen. He's a good defender, but not nearly good enough to make up for his detriments to the offense.

On top of that he's agitating the best players on the other teams motivating them to give their best shot against his teams every night. He's arguably a net negative on most nights he steps on the court. If you're going to be annoying, you better at least be an overall positive for your team. He's currently not.

There is no team in the playoffs right now that would be better with Dillon Brooks on their roster.

That effectively inconsistent style of play helped the Grizzlies win 52 games.

So they got a bad draw in Round 1… Doesn’t mean he’s not a winning ballplayer. And don’t give me the BS that he motivated LeBron to play better. Even at his age, 22 points last night was below average for LeBron.

Not sure that Pritchard has the balls to do it, but if the Pacers could get him for three years at $30 million, the more the merrier. Seriously, if teams by into the media propaganda that he’s the “dirty villain”, the Pacers should jump on that.

Do you always look for a reason to be overly critical of LeBron?

Instead of saying something silly like his 22 was well below his career playoff averaging how about acknowledging that the supporting cast stepped up? Reaves had 23. Russell had 17. Vanderbilt had 15. Schroder had 12. And they all shot well from the field.

He had 22/20/7 and 2 blocks with only one TO in 45 minutes. Stop being such a hater.

Nobody cares about the Pacers.

Maybe they win 56 without him

LOL yeah LeBron definitely had a subpar game last night, correct as always Cane. 22 points, a few rebounds, meaningless shots at the end of regulation. Dude's close to washed.

They really should.

He's a good role player but just not reliable on the offensive end especially as a starter. Plus, his shit talking, while it is more of an old schoo style, it isn't helping him and he seems to dwindle after he talks.
If you talk shit, back it up.

This season he has an ORTG 102, DRTG 114 - of course that is guarding the best player or 2nd best player most nights. I don't buy this metric for his defensive efforts but I am buying it for his offensive woes. Like you said, he isn't a good offensive player-borderline rotational offensive player.

VORP -1.1
BPM -3.9
OBPM -3.4

Not into advanced stats but the eye tests says he is a bad offensive player. If he was Pat Bev, Tony Allen defensively with more size you could fork up money to pay the man...but he isn't great defensively. Very good-I'll buy that.

Its not the actual player he's upsetting. You're not rattling Lebron. But when teammates hear the shit they're talking about their guy, you better believe its absolutely a team mission from there on out. You're giving the opposition bulletin board material and it does have an effect.

I sincerely, truly, hope that you do find a way to sign Dillon Brooks for an above average contract. You're much better off going after a guy like Donta DiVincenzo and giving him 3 yrs 40, than going anywhere near Dillon Brooks at 3 yrs 30M.

Does it hurt to be that dumb?

Because it should.
