Yeah, McHale is great. Do I agree with everything he does? No. He's still a pretty solid coach. And he obviously cares about his team/job. One of...
Beverley comes in to provide a spark, not to lockdown opposing players. Their defense is about equal. Lin hs better size, gets more steals. You...
Almost every stat doesn't show Beverley is better, but I would honestly hope his numbers are good because, as a pretty good defender, he is...
Different sources provide different information. Watching the games show me Beverley is a better defender. Almost every stat shows this. Lin...
Cant look at as I'm on my phone, but hardens numbers are impacted by the fact that he is usually guarding the opposing teams weakest link. He...
Again, you're wrong. Lin is a liability when he is not creating shots for the team, either by design of the offense or by his own lack if...
[ bQUOTE=Joe Joe;7782318]Beverley gets more steals. More Blocks. Has a better defensive rating. Has more defensive win shares per minute. Opposing...
Would love for you to back this up. Like any pg in the league, Lin and Beverley struggle to defend the top tier pgs. Its not a mystery, pgs run a...
But he's not a rookie at 23. He came from a well coached team that played respectable d. I would think that would matter.
He was on Stephenson, a guy who averages 8 a game but put up 21. Why would McHale put harden on George, their best offensive option ( well, aside...
Pretty sure its been pointed out a few times before that thebest defensive lineup for the rockets includes asik and Lin btw.
+/- in general is not too great of a stat, especially when you're comparing bench players to starters .
Thus, people really need use some actual ****ing logic when comparing these kind of things ( especially between starters/bench players ).
There isn't anything to debate unless people expect Lin to play like jrue holiday,Deron Williams, or cp3. He's averaging 13 and 6, playing solid...
Yeah, I know. But its not like steals aren't as important as bouncing around like Toney Douglas on d. Not knocking beverley, he's a decent backup...
+/-, over the course of a game, is ****ing worthless. You know that right? If you're going to compare defense, check some of the meaningful...
Aggression, at least when it comes to creating shots for your team plays a huge factor. Risk/reward. I will take some turnovers from aggressive...
Both Beverly and Lin shot 3-6...... Lin is always going to turn the ball over more because he, like harden, is a playmaking guard. Its part of...
Also, lance Stephenson. Its extremely easy to gloss over hardens deficiencies on d when he is shooting lights out ( too many 3s tonight ) but when...
Then you ignore the fact that Lin is just about as effective and picked up 2 steals 20 minutes.
