Westbrook = 10-26 for 29 points. 6-12 shooting in the second half Durant = 10-25 for 29 points. 2-9 shooting in the second half. Thanks Patrick Beverley!!!

Bev is definitely a better defender, rebounder, and ball handler but Lin when he's on his game, is a better scorer and passer. Problem is just not knowing which Lin will show.

Bev is also the better point guard and manager of the game. Lin might have flashier passing (that are often turnovers) but Bev does a better job at running the team and taking care of the ball. Lin is at his best when he doesn't have to think and just attacks the basket.
Lin's inconsistency is maddening. He can look do damn good in one game and a complete scrub the next one.
I'm not even mad. Spoiler But I'd like it to be noted I meant he prolly be traded, not released. And I've said many times that I'm a fan of his.
Bev definitely does a better job at handling the ball but he usually just gives the ball to Harden and spots up so I wouldn't say he manages the game better. He doesn't need to dominate the ball to be effective because of his defense and hustle unlike Lin.
Hahahahahaha! This is the exact argument for Colin Kaepernick vs Alex Smith. Funny thing is, being a "game manager" wasn't enough for Alex Smith to keep his job.
