    You guys may not know that we chinese fans always call Brewer as “连长”,which means “captain” in English.So where did this nickname come from?
    First,look at this man in the picture.He was a captain of the cavalry in a TV series .

    Welcome to Clutchfans.

    I just want to warn you ahead of time that you may like take some heat for creating this thread because Brewer is sort of persona non grata around here, but the dude loves you.

    The "Captain" is also known as the "Greyhound" here in the states...Brewer seems like a great guy and all but at this point I think if we subbed an actual greyhound to play for Brewer we would get more production.

    I thought Brewer was called GOAT.

    Or I should say, he's called GOAT on CF.

    If the China fans can't see what an awesome player Brewer is then they don't understand basketball.

    Ur funny but stats are t everything my friend. He hustles he plays d. He also helps increase pace. And if u watched the games lately, harden is starting to get back to his old ways. Slowing down the offense, dribbling out the ball, holding it to 3 secs and grenading it to a team mate. We haven't been getting a lot of transition points and fast breaks as we were in the beginning of the season.
    Brewer leakes out and runs the floor and that threat puts opposing defenses on its heel. Why do u think mda/jbb/mchale continue to play him.
