    Beverley and Westbrook are two of the league’s most intense competitors, as neither of them have ever backed down from a challenge or a player, regardless of the odds that may have seemed to have been stacked against them. But there’s alot more gamesmanship and respect that Beverley has for Westbrook than what’s been discussed in the press.

    Beverley explains challenge of defending Rockets’ Westbrook
    “I’ve got to put Russ up there, cause you don’t know what you’re gonna get from him. Russ can go cold for five games and then you’ll play him and he’ll hit five threes.”

    The old adage is that game recognizes game, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Beverley is giving Westbrook his respect, regardless of the feud the two have against one together. Westbrook has led the league in scoring on multiple occasions and is averaging 27.5 points this season, becoming the first non-Harden Rockets player to average 27 points since Hakeem Olajuwon, which is no small feat.

    Imagine a fresh new world where the Rockets have Chris Paul, Westbrook, Beverly and Rondo all on the same team and playing at the same time. Vicious rivals and competitors all starting with Harden... That line up could do some damage no?

    Rather have Lowry or Bev over Dragic.

    Who is this Murphy character? (jkbt.. bad timing)

    This might be a good litmus test to see if Murph reads clutchfans.
