If Brooks was willing to take 5 fewer shots in Memphis he might still be in Memphis. I don't know who to blame that on but they wanted him to stop trying to take over the offense and jack bad shots and he wouldn't. Now he is willing to do that. I don't know what's different but it wasn't working in Memphis.
