Amin Elhassan goes at Patrick Beverley for rest comments

And that's fine, no one said you have to enjoy his style. I don't follow him (nor most of these jerks) on twitter and pretty much never watch ESPN for the same reason.

Remember, you "trolling" them will make you look like a fool, but dropping viewership numbers actually hurts 'em where it counts.

 

@KlutchQT can you roast this dude please? he needs to be put back in his place.

 

He did cross the line when he trashed Bev for having to work his way from playing in Russia to making it in the NBA. As if that's something to be ashamed of. You know who else started his pro career overseas before getting a shot in the NBA? Mario Elie. Would he talk smack about that dude? I doubt it.

 

ESPN plus Ex-Spur... bring Horry in to counter or I ain't listening. Cawhy is not the best player in the league, but he is very good. I respect him but he's a system guy. Never played outside of one system. All the others in the race have and their greatness is earned. Systems hide weakness and Cawhy is a weak creator. Hence the assist numbers.

One of these things is not like the others:

Cawhy Leonard 3.5 assists per game
Lebron James 8.8 assists per game
James Harden 11.3 assists per game
Russell Westbrook 10.4 assists per game

MVP? Cawhy not? Because he doesn't make his team better, he's just a scorer who plays good defense.

I will say this though, Amin sounds like he's going to vote for Harden.

 

I don't watch them, and I don't feel like a fool for dismissing this guy on an internet forum.

 

Why would you compare teams resting their star players like cavs big 3, Kawhi, GS Big 4 to a 35 year old Nene?

No one pays money to come see Nene play. What a tool.

 

I don't have a problem with the bev comments.

I got a problem that they talked about mvp between westbrook and kawhi without mentioning beard. LMAO

 

Man Rachel Nichols is so dumb.

Elhassan says Oscar didn't win MVP because wilt scored 50 points per game and played 48.5 mins per game.

She starts laughing in agreeance like a moron. Then goes on to state that pointing out Oscar didn't win MVP is a slippery slope of stupidity for that reason.

Bill Russell actually won MVP that season. So both Elhassan and Nichols are idiots.

Talk about a slippery slope of stupidity.

Can one of you tweeters ask Elhassan why he lied on national television about wilt winning MVP that year?

 

We got haters

 

That's frustrating, but I doubt he would have lied on purpose. It's too easy to get fact-checked these days.

 

I have know idea who that guy is, but he's an idiot. He says Bev has an easy job. Has he ever seen Bev play? Bev works his ass off every minute he's on the court.

I have a feeling that the vast majority of fans around the league agree with everything Bev said.

 

Rachel Nichols is definitely on the to do list.

 

Whether it was on purpose or not, it was a false fact.

He probably shouldn't pompously declare something to be true so he can use it to further his narrative when he isn't even aware of its validity himself.

 

Sounds like most of you are upset with these trash ESPN shows catering to the lowest common denominator.

Y'all should definitely check out some NBA podcasts. Some of these same windbags present much more logical arguments away from the camera and the constraints of 2 minute segments

Infinitely better than sports radio as well

 

Not sure who's going to win MVP between Harden and Westbrook, but one thing I'm pretty confident in. Whoever wins it between them, the other will win the Player's MVP. If the voters go one way, the players will go the other way so both player's are awarded. I think the same thing happened a couple years ago when Harden won player's MVP.

 

How many of these point/counter-point, 2 guys yelling shows does ESPN have?

 

Unfortunately (or fortunately?), he blocked me after our last twitter fight. I'm not even gonna watch his video and get my blood pressure up.

 

For all the people saying we rest nene that's not a even valid point. I'm sure fans don't come pack the arenas to watch nene. We are talking about STAR players taking games off for REST. Anybody bashing bev by saying we do the same with nene don't have a valid point. It's not like we are doing a disservice to the fans by resting nene. The real problem is when STAR players don't play that's when the fans really lose out.
