Clutch, you may have some competition here, this guy is totally convincing

LMFAO.

 

Lol is this true?

 

I hope so - this guy is posting it in every thread. Just when things were starting to get slightly more civil in here.

 

Yup, that pretty much sums it up.

 

Naturally Harden has to get his minutes, he's the best player on the team. But if Lin outperforms Beverley (not just on offense but as a whole) then he will remain in the lineup in the 4th quarter.

Lin needs to learn to play alongside Harden when he's in the game for the team to succeed. Lin is the primary option when Harden rests.

 

Lol using a football/quarterback analogy on this is laughable. TJ Yates doesn't play unless the starter is hurt, whereas Bev and Lin almost split time.

Besides, quarterbacks are usually the face of the offense. Almost everyone would rather take Lin over Bev as the face of the team's offense. So Bev would actually be Yates, if you use your dumb analogy.

 

Someone mentioned that Bev averages more PF's than asst. - I thought it was hyperbole, but I just checked and it's actually true.
asst - 2.4
PF's - 2.8
Hmm - any other starting PG ever done that? Not a LOF and not trolling. Actually curious. Ok bye.

 

Greatest thread ever. 154k views and growing.

Congrats.

 

Lol, ok... stereotype aside, this dude actually have some valid points...

 

But he said we're not that good when Beverley plays 30+ minutes. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!? Beverley played 36 minutes and we won! I'm so disappointed, I rely so much on Lin fan analysis and he let me down!

 

You're NO1 Lin Hater on this site it's not even close.

 

LOL, what? Lin has a few troll haters that spam the game threads (not very many but a few). larvs8 has been a valuable poster on this board for awhile.

 

Jeremy Lin doesn't have to be the starter but he definitely needs to close the game in 4Q. The numbers are clear

 

I am convinced if this is true. Lol
The thing is McHale likes putting the ball in Harden's hands. Unfortunately Lin just isn't very good when Harden is handling the ball. And....that's why Beverley seems like the better fit with Harden.

 

fo sho.

 

The numbers may not be that clear. Close this thread already.

 

Can we hire that guy as a sideline reporter. He knows his basketball and I think he would be entertaining. Imagine Drexler's comments/reactions to his interviews...

 

Coaching staff wants Bev or Parsons to initiate offense while Harden is not doing that, cause Lin is not here for long, he is not part of the long term plan of this franchise, so we need a ready secondary ball handler when Lin is gone.

I mean this is clear as a moon in the sky, dont understand why everybody gets so worked up debating this back and forth. In the meanwhile lets just wish Jeremy best luck, he has been nothing short of a consummate professional, unlike frigging Asik.

 

I love Beverly's hustle, but watching him initiate offense that isn't a fast break is really painful. Parsons sometimes as well. Really should only be harden or Lin
