[ClutchFans] The numbers are clear: Patrick Beverley deserves to start over Jeremy Lin

Someone had to do it.

 

Someone does it every minute of every day. Clutch isn't doing something that hasn't been done, literally hundreds of thousands of times. It just gives the ABJs/LOFHs/LOHs more credence to their opinion. Most people have a hard time distinguishing opinion from fact.

 

Why do I care about the age of this site?

 

I like Lin but Bev looks to be faster and the better defender. Plus he hit some critical 3's in the last game. Hope Lin get's his step back like he was in Linsanity.

 

Cause that's how long Jeremy Lin will come off the bench for the rest of his career.

 

Linsanity can't happen in this "gimmick" offense, not enough PnRs.

Lillard scored above his average, I don't know how you can think Beverley is a better defender. I'm sure if Lin started, Lillard would've also scored above his average. Beverley is a more active defender, but the end result is....

Lillard scored above his average.

When Allen or George defends Harden, Harden's numbers sink. Those two are good/great defenders. Plus defenders stop their opponents, or at least slow them down. Not let them hit their averages or above. It's very simple, but so confusing for so many people on this site.

 

Your attempt at humor sucks. You should try not to be funny. I feel sorry for your girlfriend, who has to listen to your sorry attempts at humor.

coz you're an LOF who just barely started watching basketball

 

Yes, that's me. Lots of idiots here. Instead of formulating a response, he does some google search for a crying GIF, or maybe he found it awhile ago, and was waiting for the perfect moment to use it. Good job idiot. I am not like you emotional trolls, I don't get sad or happy over talking to people on an internet forum. Weird.

 

I got news for you son, Linsanity was a fluke

 

The site owner talks to jeremy after each game .
this is your true jealousy.

You say you don't like this site but you are drinking it up with a big straw like you are sucking the last piece of tapioca off the bottom of the cup

 

Someone with a better memory than me, how similar is this situation to when we had both Smith and Cassel? Could we do something similar with Lin and Beverly? Was their fan controversy over who should be the starter? I seem to remember there was, but how does it compare to the present situation? Just curious.

 

We do not tolerate name calling on this forum

 

Yes, you know me. I just started watching basketball. Since we are making stuff up. Lemme guess on you. Some fat dude, with low social skills, who spends way too much time on the internet, thinking he knows more than other people. Once he steps outside his door, he's a nobody.

 

not the same. Kenny was long time veteran and sam was a rookie.

Beverly and Jeremy are basically new to the league.
Kenny ran the offense better, and Sam was the better offensive player.

So maybe that is a similar situation

 

Sure, I'll stop with the name calling. Will other people stop as well. Isn't calling someone a LOF an insult on this site. Would that be a form of name calling. Or is it one of the registered accepted forms of name calling. I didn't get that memo, when I logged in for the first time.

well these are 'linsanity' type numbers. So I disagree with you, Lin can, and does produce well when he has sole control of the offence. Ofcourse that isn't what we need though given we have two bonafide stars in Harden and Howard.
