    Actually, not only did you forget about Dwight, your so-called "much better results" was still a first-round exit.

    I agree that Bev compliments Harden better than Lin, but your argument was absolutely flawed. :p

    If by complimenting him better you mean staying out of his way then yes he fits like a glove.

    Allegedly. There will still be some stubborn people who continue to insist that Beverly is a starting PG. Apparently there is no problem with putting all the workload on Harden. Same folks will complain about Harden being tired, gee I wonder why.

    Those people don't really know basketball. They just wanted anyone to replace Lin and doesn't matter who. I like PB, but he is no starting PG in this league. I hope now that Lin is gone people here will realize we need a quality guard isn't of junk yard bs.

    LOL we'll see how easy it is to find a guy to come off the bench who can create for others still drop 15-20 on any given night.

    Clutch, can we re-run the numbers comparing Bev and Isaiah Canaan? Can't believe we're just letting this guy sit on the bench with 0 minutes.

    JLin has better numbers than Pabrick Beverly. One is riding the bench, the other riding Harden.

    Lin is a 3rd stringer on one of the worst teams in the league. Huge scrub.

    That said, we need an upgrade at point

    We need a point guard to handle the ball. We should trade for Lin.

    At some point you have to see what Shved and Canaan can do right?

    It's tradition, the backup PG always plays better than the starter here, let it continue.

    It's too late to start tanking.

    its expected. when you have only a few select players on your team that actually play defense, those select players will get tired and worn out

    i.e. D12 and Beverly

    thats why the rockets picked up ariza and brewer.

    Hate to say it. But Bev is a step slow this season. He's either dinged or he's partying too much. Whichever it is...he's running in peanut butter out there compared to last season.

    Major offensive liability and yeah, not really showing effectiveness on defense as much.

    This year's Beverley isn't the same as last year's Beverley.

    I wish we had last year's Beverley (and last year's Howard) back.

    Bev is done.

    Since this is his contract yes not good form

    What are the chances Rockets just don't offer him a reasonable contract.

    Lowball him since he is by far the worst starting point in the league tight now

    If worst case he walks then he does.
