Are we talking about the same guy that gave up 38 points to Kyrie Irving and 27 to Curry the other night? I'm almost positive we are. I love Beverly, but you're acting like he's going to save us and he can't. He needs to be coming off the bench.
PATRICK BEVERLY IS THE GREATEST DEFENDER WOLVERINE MUTANT AMERICAN SNIPER OMG LOLZERS NOT LIN IN YOUR FACE NEVER SAY NEVER SURRENDER JIMMY V HEART TOUGHNESS. How dare you doubt him!
Actually he went 13pts (3-7 3pt) 5reb 1ass vs Westbrook. It's highly unlikely a 40% 3pt shooter goes 1-7
Why are you ignoring my post? How about his 4-13 shooting vs Steph Curry, and 3-10 vs Kyrie? You're cherry picking stats for 1 game, and vs 1 team. You realize he's on the bottom half of starting point guards right? Or do you not understand that it's the most stacked position in the NBA today?
Did you forget Derrick Rose, Westbrook, John Wall & Mike Conley? How did they do against Bev? Look it up When has Dragic made ANYBODY have a subpar game offensively? I'll wait
you act like come playoff time beverly will completely shut down the elite pgs in the west. not happening.
I did look. Derrick Rose isn't the best PG in the league, and I think Mike Conley is closer to Beverley's level than you realize. John Wall is a pass first point guard. Since you brought it up, in the most recent games: Derrick Rose 19 pts 6-17 shooting (Bulls win) Bev 14 pts 7-12 shooting John Wall 13 pts 13 assists 4-10 (Wizards win) Bev 4-8 10 pts Mike Conley 11 pts 4-15 shooting Bev 5-12 12 pts (Rockets win) This is just the most recent games and it's blatantly obvious these are below average numbers. I don't know what your love affair with Beverly is, but he isn't that great. The bottom line is we need someone better.
Wait no more!!! Westbrook 16pts (6-13 8TO's) D.Rose 19pts (6-17 3TO'S) J.Wall 13pts (13pts 4-10 5TO'S) Damian Lillard (18pts 6-16 6TO'S) Mike Conley (11pts 4-15 2TO'S)
I feel these numbers are more of a contribution from our TEAM defense ala Ariza cutting off passing lanes and so forth. Sure Bev deserves some credit but not all credit IMO
You guys simply don't value defense lol. It's actually sad. Defense & toughness wins championships. We will not win a championship outscoring teams. Having a elite defender at PG & SF takes pressure off Harden, and has contributed to him leading the league in scoring. Bev's defense (along w/ Ariza) has contributed to us being one of the best defensive teams in the NBA. We don't need to replace him. We need to add a playmaker coming off the bench Isn't that great? I'm not sure what you're saying here. We are not going to have a superstar talent at all 5 positions. You need role players. Bev's a PROVEN elite defensive role player. Dragic is a HORRIBLE defensive role player, and would get his azz handed to him by any of the elite PG's in the postseason. The options to replace Bev I've heard aren't game changers. Dragic, Calderon, Rubio? You can't be serious lol
and you overrate beverly. a backcourt of harden and beverly is not good enough to win a championship. beverly is a backup pg.
