Patrick Beverley has a torn meniscus (UPDATE: Will not require surgery, expected to return)

Sedale Threat?!?!

Wasn't he the point guard for the Lakers in the early 90's? lol

 

Bad news. Bev's our best perimeters defender, a key player.

Note to McHale (based on observations from last season): Please, remember that either Harden or Lin should be on the floor at all times. That means if Lin is starting, he's got to be pulled relatively early to stagger their minutes.

 

He's prolly down to bang KD & CP3's mom.

Get 'er done Murie

 

What timing, he signed 2 days ago.

"How about Rod Strickland?" - JVG

 

If JVG was still the coach he'd likely have his wish.

 

Why don't Houston play Harden as PG and start Hamilton and Chandler at the same time. That way, there is no drop off in performance. Let Lin continue to come off the bench and insert Casspi and Garcia in the 2nd unit.

 

Lol, haters are crying to Lin for help.

 

For those LOFs insisting the drop off from Bev to Lin's defense is probably 10% while the Rockets could even gain more on offense,

well, you are dreaming.

Bev is shooting 40% in Feb and 38% in Mar in 3 PT range, Lin's number is not even close.

If you still have doubts, check Lin's number against the other top 8 playoff teams in the west this season (including the current 9th seed team), you will be amazed how poorly he played under pressure from good quality teams for the season.

 

Canaan needs to play 20+ minutes per game between now and the end of the season. Needs the experience and the conditioning.

 

That Hamilton, Brooks trade not looking too good now

 

Of course that's what happened. It is the Rockets after all.

 

Harden will have a bad time defending the PG position. He's a better post defender than a perimeter defender.

 

yup; we aint playing the scrub Cavs, Celtics or 76ers in the playoffs

this hurts

 

His breakout season was in Houston for the 1997 playoff run, along with Eddie "Money" Johnson.

can troy daniels play pg?

 

This. Also you either stop them or let them stop you.

 

the PG position will be tested...

 

I agree, the defensive intensity in the playoffs is night and day. Its the reason the Phoenix teams with Steve Nash sucked so bad in the playoffs, 62 wins to only lose in the second round.

Should be fun regardless but unless they win the finals there will be the, "if Bev was there to shut down Parker, Lillard....etc we would have won." Trust me, those guys will go off on the Rockets, I just hope they win in spite of it.
