And his name is Jeremy Lin. Sit down people. I love Patrick Beverley. Most underrated pickup of the year. He's been better than Lin in at least 5 games this year. He was brilliant tonight. And then, there's those other 70 odd games. If playing like an MVP for his first 10 starts last year isn't enough and has everyone up in arms yelling "sample size!", let's at least see how Beverley does in 2 games before shipping Lin off for a sack of potatoes.
Don't think Lin will be shipped off. As mediocre as he's been he does have some unique physical attributes (league-leading speed, 6'4 size) that suggests he has some room to grow. I'll withhold complete judgment on him until next season.
Unless we somehow get CP3, I'm happy going forward with Lin and Beverley. Don't really care who starts anymore. Just win.
Why does Lin have to start? Why can't he be our Ginobli, Crawford or J.R Smith? These guys could start but are still very effective off the bench?
PG of the future until his backup outplays him..... Remember Maloney, Brent Price, Aaron Brooks, Lowry, and Dragic???,,,,, All those were PG's of the future until we paid them... Then they suck !!!.... It's the Rocket's PG Circle of Life
I really like this 3 headed guard lineup. We have terrific defense in the backcourt and Harden will be to quick and good off the dribble penetration for most 3's .Parsons can stretch the floor and most 4's need to comeout to contenst his shot.
I think we have a great pg tandem now, and will have for a long time if the team stays together. When Lin peaks I see him as around a top 10-12 pg, possibly might even get in to top 10, and Bev will be the best backup pg in the league, probs playing a jarrett jack role by that time with our small ball lineups as Lin/Harden get better at playing off ball. EVERYONE BE POSITIVE. STOP THE HATE ON ALL OUR PLAYERS PLEASEEE
I'm hoping we can feed chandler some horse pills over the summer so he can gain 20 pounds and be our starting pf That way we can convert Lin to a shooting guard and make harden play the three.
Having Lin and Beverley is like having 48 min of solid PG play. I think if we get a solid PF next year we will be even better and should get out of the 1st round.
