This. I hope our coaches see this and even though we like him spacing the floor, Brook is at his best when he is down low and using those post moves/footwork. Great game for him. I expect him to play well again tonight. BKN has been struggling with bigs in the post so far this year.
Pleased with the effort last night. We've got to figure out why he's not getting consistent production and fix it with the 1st unit. We need his presence and numbers.
Great game for Brook. He’s so skilled down low. His footwork is ridiculous. His skill set reminds me a lot of Pau honestly except a better shooter. Great offensive player. Some nice blocks and help defense as well.
It seems that Luke is running the offense through Brook as opposed to Ingram. We need to continue this trend. The guy can get buckets. Also memo to Mozgov and Deng: this is how a veteran leads a young team by example both on and off the court.
Yeah that was some hell of a game from Brook tonight. We have a freaking BIG man again. He's getting better too as his timing comes along in the post area and he runs the floor really well for a guy his size. Wonder who gave him that nasty half inch wide, 12 inch long scratch tonight starting behind his ear and going up most of the way through his beard? Wow that was quite a rake. You could see it left side of his neck and face during his on court interview after the game.
Making a lot of us eat our words lol..especially funny after bringing up Cousins talk haha. Been beasting last two games averaging 30+. I didnt mean to disrespect Lopez by bringing up a more of a run and gun type of C. The last two games kinda prove hes not an easy player you can upgrade from. Hope he can be a consistent horse for us. Him and Kuz combined for 60+ tonight.
It's refreshing to see a quality veteran who leads by example on and off the floor. I really like what I've seen from Lopez so far.
This is more or less what I was expecting from Brook. I was getting worried that we yet again got duped by a veteran player that had a nice year and then he comes to the Lakers and suddenly sucks (Hibbert, Deng anyone?). He won't get 34 every night but he should be getting 15-20 every night easily. We need to run the offense through him more as well. He will get our guys more open looks playing inside-out. Also, guys need to CUT to the basket when Brook has it in the post.
He IS a 20 PPG scorer, he’s that talented, he’s a guy who has done that consistently in this league. We simply have not been using him correctly and partially I’d say we are such a team effort on offense he hasn’t had to be the guy he has been in the past. We’re clearly better when he is though, so when you have a former all-star big, maybe give them some opportunities to do what they can do.
Good things happen when you put Slomo in the post. If you relegate him to being a 3 point shooter like Damfony did with Pau, you're basically wasting his talent.
Great game. He could always score but 10 boards and a few blocks are always welcome. That 3 ball is money.
This... Lopez still takes too many treys for my liking but he doesn't take them when a defender rushes at him forcing him to pass or put the ball on the floor. Kuzma will be a fit with him as he has a good perimeter game giving him space to operate unlike Nance who mostly refuses to shoot or Randle who couldn't.
