Chill out... Jeremy will get better (so will P-Bev), but next Fall we'll see where they are at with health and their game. Jeremy has a massive upside with a seemingly conquerable barrier (catch-and-shoot jump shots) being his obstacle to evolve. I expect Lin to still be our starter, but I don't see why people think it's a this guy or that guy type thing... They can both play on the court for around 8-10 minutes a game to give Harden a break. That'd give both of them around 30 minutes with Lin probably getting the lion's share.
Just think about it. Next year's team will have a radically different look again. We keep Patrick Beverley-Jeremy Lin James Harden Chandler Parsons-Carlos Delfino (maybe; Cisco Garcia's team option is too expensive) TJones-DMo-TRob Omer Asik Who do you think will still be here next year?
OMG, are you kidding me???? Jlin is injured, people; Bev is full strength and in his rhythm... Bev tonight was 4-11 from the field (0-3 three pointers) had ZERO assists, only three boards, a bunch of fouls, only one steal (JLin is top 10 in league in steals) and was absolutely outplayed by the Thunders backup point guard who burned him on a number of occasions. When Bev plays there is little ball movement and hence too much pressure on Harden. There was a reason why Harden had 10 turnovers the other game and played lousy tonight. Bev is not a playmaker. The Rox will never break 100 points with Bev as point guard. Guess how many assists Bev had last game as a starter? ONE Guess how many this game? NONE If this is the pg of the future than prepare to LOSE, Rox fans.
52% TS, 2.8 assists/game, foul machine, unimpressive help defense, and never even had to face Westbrook. Yeah, he's the defacto starter, gimme a break.
Beverely is so overrated in this forum is nauseating. He's a good backup point guard and nothing more than that as far as his game goes. And he has a horrible attitude and incredibly LOW character. He's the FIRST player that should be cut from the team. And don't call me a LOF......Lin was absolute trash.

WELL WE MADE THE FIRST ROUND AND MADE A LOT OF NOISE WITH THE MOST INEXPERIENCED TEAM AGAINST THE WC DEFENDING CHAMPIONS. LETS KILL OURSELVES NOW
Pretty much. Even if Lin is gone I hope Bev stays as a backup. His best attribute is his defense, but as a starter that's not going to cut it. Take away his defense and he's pretty much useless.
