    meh. not sure if these guys are speaking in jest but all they talk about is how they love how dirty pat plays (implying he goes after people's knees and undercuts people going up for dunks). only problem is there's nothing dirty about pat's game. he's not really a flopper and he doesn't really deliver hard fouls. he just bodies people up and applies pressure more often than most defenders and picks up his guy for much more of the court than most defenders.

    It's an elitist back handed complement.

    Like something an Ivy leaguer says to an Aggie at a function.

    He completely won me over with his Miami game, when he defended Lebron in the last a few minutes like there is no tomorrow and succeeded. Replace his with Lin, Rockets might lose that game. As a Lin fan, Pat earned my respect.

    They talking a lot of crap... Might want to leave such articles out of here.
    They are almost as bad as Skip talking bad about Dwight or LeBron years ago.

    This was pretty bad.

    I feel bad for Beverley. Westbrook caught a bad break and all of a sudden Beverley is a dirty player.

    1. The guy admitted he was a Bev hater
    2. I think the article overall is a compliment to him.
    3. So all articles must be 100% positive or we can't talk about them?

    With the exception of Sharp's blatant Rockets hatred I thoroughly enjoyed this article. So what if Beverley is viewed as a dirty and scrappy player? That's what we need! I will be spreading the Red Bull nickname!

    This article pisses me off.......someone plays hard defense and pressures the ball and some players dont like it. That doesnt mean he's trying to hurt people.

    oh yeah F*** Andrew Sharp in the A** with that spiked bat in the article.

    An article has never made me this mad.

    I did not say that. I said crap article such as this one where they don't know anything about the Rockets players. It's just like how bleacherreport are almost never posted here. Or just like Yahoo Contributor acrticles.

    D-bag article... it's meant to make Beverley look like a dirty player, heighten focus on his defensive play.

    Don't embrace either of their nickname suggestions.
