Brooks is a really dirty player

I think Brooks is in the pat Beverly group of players... gets his team fired up... annoying as hell... does some things well... might get a bit over-rated.

I think we got to give him more credit than that. He just put up 26 per game in a 5 game series.

I don't think he's that good, but I think he's better than a Pat Bev.

I think Bevs a better defender by a decent margin. But sure... Brooks is a tier above that player I guess.

The shots we allow feed into Brooks game a bit... I don’t think he has as good a series against another team/scheme.
 
He's a poor man's westbrook, with the same hot head streak that is bad in 4th quarters. He has intensity but needs someone with maturity to reign it in, so he can focus it. How many times did he brick in 4th quarters in this series with the Jazz... Just like Westbrook, getting too angry and then trying to win it all on his own and bricking instead.
 
Its his style of defense... if he doesn't stay connected to a guy hes cooked. I didn't see him drift into anyone where I felt it was dirty... I think he just tries to stay into guys all the time. He's more annoying than dirty imo. He got smoked and DM let him know about it. If he wanted to sign here tomorrow I'd start a Brooks fan club and we'd all join. We need a guy like him that is willing to be the villain and kinda loves it. I hate Dillon but I respect it.
The problem is just as much with the shooter jumping forward or kicking their leg out as part of the shot. DM got a way with a few of those.

I feel ya but the natural shooting motion will pull players forward a foot or two... but it gets exaggerated and unnatural at time. Jae Crowder is the champ at this.
 
He is pesky and likes to defend but commits way too many out of control/silly fouls. On offense he is quite streaky and is prone on chucking his team out of the rhythm and ball games. If he matures and learns to share the ball he could be really good. Physically he has all the tools, just needs to level up his basketball IQ
 
Gonna forget about Brooks for a minute. Ja Morant is pretty damn amazing. Looking forward to watching his career progress. Seems like a smart player with tons of skills.
 
I dont think he's dirty. He never made any kind of fouls that put a player's health at risk. He's just a guy who knows how to walk that line (though he didnt do it very well because he was in constant foul trouble and fouled a lot of 3pt shooters)

In game 2 when he went flying at Ingles as he put up a 3 and threw his entire body into Ingles head/neck area was a non basketball play that could have easily resulted in injury. It was a non-basketball play and should have absolutely been a flagrant.

He made everything look so easy. He can get to pretty much any spot on the floor with space and hit.
