    I like Beverly, he's a slightly better playmaker than TD while TD is a better shooter. Other than that, they are the same person.

    Validate? I thought he was denigrating him?

    Has played well, but I expect a bit more composure for someone who has played professionally in europe for a couple of years. Had a few boneheaded plays tonight (the foul on the 3-pt attempt by Curry for instance).

    Machado will be a good player as well right?

    Douglas is a better spot up shooter than him, but Beverley is better at everything else than Douglas. Beverley is one of the quickest players in the NBA. His offensive skills are too unpolished to ever be a starter, but his defensive energy is valuable. I agree with McHale at times playing matchups and keeping Beverley on the floor rather than Lin, even in crunch time.

    I disagree on the crunch time part. He's a ticking bomb.

    Beverly has the best "feel" for our offense...he is the best pure point guard on our roster...he runs the team effectively and understands tempo and the rythym we need to operate....but Lin has more upside and is more talented...bigger...and has more potential...

    it seems like Beverly can develop into a dependable back up point guard...

    I think Beverley's more than a slightly better playmaker. Bev is a decent playmaker, TD can't play that position at all. TD is a sg in a pg's body. Unless CP3 comes along, our pg position is fine where it is. It's a backup 5 and star 4 we need to take it up a notch.

    Our team is really good. Our record does not do us justice.

    HE CAN'T SHOOT. Other than that he's amazing. Love his energy and peskiness. Kind of like TD on the defensive end.

    Yeah no not in crunch time at all. But I like Bev a lot more than TD. Bev has legit potential but I think the game maybe really fast for him right now. He looks so frantic out there (fans say he is playing w/ energy but it isn't that at all he hasn't adjusted to the NBA pace). I think by next season things will slow down for him. Also his D is not good at all he fouls way to much & he needs to get better at funneling his man to help defense if he can't stay in front of them which he can't Jack dusted him a few times. McHale needs to stop leaving Bev out there by himself to run things, Lin & harden must be out there at all times.

    He's been a good pickup for the Rockets, brings energy off the bench.

    I like Beverly and I'm glad we have him but without a doubt the team plays better with Lin in the game.

    He's looked good every time I watched him play. I like his nose for the ball and his ability to drive and kick to the perimeter.

    Runs the point pretty well compared to TD, who has been more of a chucker.

    Looks to be a promising all around action guy, hope he never loses his hustle.
