Patrick Beverley out with fractured hand (UPDATE: Bev out 4-6 weeks)

yes, along with Calvin Murphy at the point.

 

Canaan the "answer" Machado

 

cisco's basket?
just kidding.
thanks.

 

So far this year...he has. The Rockets have been very average this month (most of which Lin sat out) at (I believe) 6-4

 

I love those role eyes because it suggests as if that claim is some preposterous notion that only some Taiwanese Lin only fan would suggest.
Here is a simple metric that is available to anyone who searches hard enough and isn't lazy. Look up the team's record when Lin has been the starter and when is hasn't been the starter this season. Also look at their recent stretch of games without him.
Any sane person would say that a healthy Lin should have at least 30 minutes of playing time for this team to have a better chance winning more games.

 

Now it's time for who to put up or shut up? Lin? I haven't heard him say anything so far. Lin's fans? Are they playing? How and what would they "put up", exactly?

 

Bev is tough as nails. He'll be back in 3 weeks

 

Keep dreaming...like you're currently been dreaming that BEV is worthy as a starter.. Not saying lin is the answer, but BEV is DEFINITELY NOT.

 

YOU.MAKE.TOOOOO.MUCH.SENSE. YOU.MUST.BE.A.LIN.FAN.

(Hey, it rhymes )

 

Lol when did I ever say such a thing. I agree that Lin is a better player and should probably start. But this has nothing to do with that. Just saying Bev is tough and I think he'll be back way sooner than expected

 

One thing I don't like about Lin is that if he is not 100% physically, it's like he can't do anything out there.

It also seems like it takes him forever to get back into peak condition whenever he goes out with an injury.

He may lose the shooting touch which he had too.

 

Its time for Lin to prove he's worth all the hype that he came with. Rumors are we're shopping him so if he doesn't deliver chances are his ass will be outta here. Also, his fans claim he's been somehow "held back" by the coaching staff, well now we'll see in the next few weeks who's holding who back. I personally think Lin's improved from last year but he's still indecisive and too sloppy of a ball handler to play big minutes. We will see




But NO EXCUSES. This is Lin's time to show us and the team his true worth

 

Delusional. Are you suggesting Lin could've helped us beat Portland, Indiana or Sac more than Bev starting? Lmao. Who exactly would he hold? Lillard? Isaiah Thomas? Ok bro, if you say so.


If I'm wrong, so be it. But these next couple weeks we'll definitely see how much better Lin makes this team. (We'll finally get some closure on this)

 

Uh Lin has defended Lillard well last season.

 

YEA hahaha - u guys expect us to EAT CROW. ok if Lin goes better than BEV i will officially convert myself into a LOF. hahaha

 

get well soon. we need you as a role player sometimes.

 

Lillard scored 15 of his 22 on Beverley in the first game.

If Beverley could do what he did against Lillard almost every game, then there wouldn't be an argument

 

Too indecisive and too sloppy are exactly what people said about Steve Nash with the same amount of games that Lin has played. Lin's not a perfect player but if allowed to make decisions and not have to play on eggshells he'll also thread the needle for perfect passes and make very positive plays. It's called growing pains and playing through mistakes and in Lin's aggressive style of playing, that's part of his growing pains.

 

Bev completely held Lillard in check. Everybody from us to the announcers could see this. He got 22 pts, but he made him work very hard for it. One of Bev's finer defensive performances. You disagree? I'm not surprised lol


Again, Bev's out. So no excuses for Lin fans anymore

 

I can't think of any reason why you feel the need to constantly bash or belittle Lin and ride Bev's meat stick. Bev IS an above average defender but he has also been very inconsistent this season. The play that we saw from him last year is not the same to this point this year. This is supposed to be a forum where we can support the HOUSTON ROCKETS. Crazy thought I know
