Patrick Beverley is GARBAGE

Jones isn't quite there yet, but he's close. He's just barely missing some of these hook shots and layups….stuff he would've hit earlier in the season.

Still played well overall. 9 rebounds, 4 blocks.

 

In favor of whom? Terry's been even worse over the last couple months. We just traded away Canaan and Shved. So is Pepperoni gonna get heavy minutes at PG? Or is McHale gonna start going with a no-PG lineup like he did in the 4th quarter at Detroit?

Anyone know what the draft prospects look like at the PG position this year? In particular around the 13th pick? Maybe the Rockets should just hang onto the NOP pick and just draft the best PG available. That's a lot less expensive than the 20+ mil/yr Dragic would've wanted.

 

Never thought I would be excited about Prigioni but I am now..

I just wish DM can use his magic and trade McHale to the 76ers too

 

Last 10 games:

30% FG (27/90)

24% 3 FG (14/58)

At this point, we need to seriously consider bringing up Johnson.

Why? It wouldn't be any better. Dudes like Beverley, Nick Johnson, Isaiah Canaan, etc., those are just backups at best. They're not dudes you want starting, much less at the most stacked position in the league.

Morey just ignored the PG position. It's on him that it's gotten this bad. Not much else to say.

 

Sad for PatBev. He used to be our gamechanger.

But what happened to his defense? I can live with bad offense but bad defense TOO!?

 

Injuries catching up or still present plus delusions of grandeur on offense would be my guess.

 

Hoping for plenty of Prig tomorrow night.

 

As some body posted in another thread, it may sound crazy but I would let Kpap play point on occasion because he is crafty with the ball.

Kind of like what the Bulls did with Ron Harper during their championship run in the 90's.

 

K-Papa can't shoot yet, so that will be a very bad idea.

 

Beverley is GARBAGE indeed!!!!

 

Well the facade has worn off. What many of us saw from when he first got here is becoming more and more clear. Pat Bev was NEVER starter material in this league. Making him a starter only set this team back 2 years.

That's why I wanted him traded at the deadline. I wouldn't have cared if we brought in two backup PGS, like DJ Augustine and Jarrett Jack. Or even Reggie Jackson or even Nate Robinson. Anyone that is a threat to do ANYTHING on the court.

I'm sorry to say it, but Bev to me is not even a good 2nd string PG for this team IF we want to win the Championship.

 

I don't disagree, but at least with Johnson, you've got great athleticism and some decent D. We are getting nothing from Bev right now. If you're going to play someone that can't shoot, I'd rather go with Johnson.

 

So with the available point guards at the trade deadline we get what exactly? Bev was never supposed to be the starter, he just played better than Lin(tells you how good Lin was). The suns traded two point guards and we stood pat so we could have future flexibility for a shot at signing Durant. How many guards were traded this year?
I really don't think that Morey believes Howard is going to be ready for the playoffs.

 

But he couldn't execute them if we did. He has no ballhandling skills and very limited court vision. He's pretty much a severely undersized 2 guard who hustles super hard to make up for limited defensive IQ.

 

How about Lin killer turnover after turnover in the POR series last year?

Nah, we gotta think of getting better players.

 

Agree.
