Brooks was waived twice in 2013 and no other team picked him up, much less asked him to be their starting PG. Now you make a new thread to complain that McHale is not being criticized enough for not making Brooks the starting PG. Here's a 255-page thread called "Official Fire McHale Thread." http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=218754&page=255 Exactly how much more criticism of McHale do you want? The team is 11-5 with Harden missing three games. What would be the appropriate record to make you stop complaining about the coach? 13-2?
The not-so-subtle racism accusations are so tired. Ever think someone could have an opinion that differs from yours without it being borne of racism or bias? Novel idea, I know. I still want to know how you manage to miss how much McHale is bashed on this board day in and day out by numerous posters (myself included, at times). Now while he's criticized a lot about many things, people don't rip him for starting Bev over Lin as much anymore. I think that's what you're really upset about.
Beverly is one of my top 5 favorite players on this team today. But I do not think he is ready to start as a NBA PG. I think the Rockets would be much better off if the head coach would start lets say brooks instead. And I am tired how some people like Beverly and McHale are immune to critic for some odd reason when no other player except Dream has been critic in our history. People even debated if we should trade Dream midway through his career but saying Beverly the worst starting PG in the NBA should not start over Brooks for example is out of bounds. Get out of here and think for a minute all the dumb excuses you come up with to make excuses for him. He can't get asts because of Harden. He can score because of Lin. blah blah blah and think who is the one with the bags of excuses for Beverly and Mchale
We won the game, and Beverley did a fantastic job at shutting down their PG measuring a player's effectiveness purely on assists just makes you look like someone who lacks general basketball knowledge. Each team is different, and a players role is unique to the system. That's why you have a championship team Lakers team who had Blake/Fisher who had like 2-3 assists per game, and Heat team with Chalmers who averages 3.5 assists in the past two seasons. Lin seems to be getting plenty of playing time this season coming off the bench, and he's been making big impacts on games. He's looking more like a Jason Terry or Ginobli type of player. I don't know why people are still so hung onto the superficial who starts and who doesn't nonsense. Did Mavs fans b**** this much when they started Deshawn Stevenson in place of Terry on their way to a championship?
Are you slow or something? I already said lets forget about Lin. Tell me why Beverly should start over Brooks. You can't because there is no reason not to start Brooks. He is the vet who can run an offense and his 3-point shooting will greatly help Howard and Harden. Plus Brooks can actually get asts like every starting PG in the NBA even Chalmers who plays with ball dominate Lebron and Wade
So what if Brooks was waived twice. Many teams would waive Beverly too. He just happens to be on a team that doesn't care if a PG can score, get asts, or run an offense.
Beverley is a MUCH improved version of Rafer. They have similar styles, but Rafer was an AWFUL shooter and bad decision maker. Beverley plays under control, and doesn't force up stupid shots. Every time Alston ran in the lane with his crappy floater shot, God killed a kitten. When Beverley throws a floater, you know it's good because he never forces it. I agree that Lin is better, and he should be starting. But it will happen eventually so I'm not worried about it. I'm pretty sure that come playoff time, Lin will be in the starting lineup.
You really have a knack for making things up. You're free to criticize McHale. You're free to crap on Beverley. You're free to think AB should start over him. You are 100% entitled to your opinion. But so are other people. The difference is that you lash out and accuse people of being racist, biased, or Lin-hating if they don't share your opinions. That is low and small-minded. And I can almost guarantee that if McHale started AB over Lin and he continued to put up numbers like he did tonight and vs. Minnesota -- the second AB started getting more buzz than Lin and the "AB should have been the starter all along!" narrative started, AB would be out of your good graces.
I've told you multiple times now, as have other posters. You don't want to understand it, so I'm not sure why you keep asking for further clarification. ETA: What's most hilarious is that (as another poster already said) you keep answering your own question. AB "can run an offense." But Harden already runs it in the starting unit. It literally could not be put any more simply than that. LOL.
You're not being earnest. Look, put me on your ignore list. What you write is dumb, and trying to reason with you is useless. See you in heaven.
During Kenny's time fans questioned if he should start over Sam So during Rafers time fans questioned if he should be the starter over Mike James and a shot SF3 During Brooks' time fans questioned if he should be the starter over Lowry During Lowry's time fans questioned if he should be the starter over Dragic But now we have the perfect PG who can't: score, run an offense, dish asts, make his teammates better. Yet he is the perfect PG and no debate can be made if he should start. JVG's was questioned as a coach here Adelman was questioned as a coach here McHale during his 1st year was questioned as a coach here But now all of a sudden no one and critique an avg head coach. Oh yeah the funny thing is they point to threads where it proves McHale can not be critic or the fan is wrong. lmao
And I asked you many times when Harden is not playing why is Bev starting over Brooks. Lin is not a ball dominate guard. When he plays with Brooks it's the same as him playing with Beverly.
Maybe the thousands of "fire McFail" posts all over this forum are written in invisible ink for you. You could try sending off for your secret decoder ring so you can see them.
Because. Lin. Is. The. Playmaker. When. Harden. Is. Not. Playing. Thus. The. Starting. Lineup. Does. Not. Require. A. Second. Playmaker.
Come on bro, Rafer smokes Beverly. Rafer was good enough as a starting PG to help the Magic make it to the NBA finals. Ask Howard which PG knows how to make a lob pass. Rafer was one of the top ball handlers of the league. He was an And-1 legend. Rafer played solid D which is why JVG the defensive coach liked him so much. Rafer is so much better than Bev it's not even funny. Everyone knows Rafer's tear drop made Rockets fans cry but his offense was also vastly better than Beverly. Beverly is a rookie PG. You really think he is as good as a vet like Rafer when he was our starter. Come on bro. Beverly might get there in a few seasons but right now he needs to play 3rd string and when we need to as a defensive specialist he should play that role to stop a PG.
Anyway, I'm going to follow everybody else's lead and be done with this thread for tonight. You can post to yourself about how Beverley and McHale are trash and how anyone who disagrees with you is racist.
