You like calling others stupid. Well, I can argue that one player, Pat Beverley, cost OKC the whole season last year when they were expecting to win it all.
Here's something else that's interesting: This year Lin has played 2054 minutes And scored 890pts Bev has play 1729 minutes (only 231 less) And scored just 559. Opposing players also have a better FG% against Bev than Lin.
Ok do u have anything to say about those numbers??? Don't tell me your not smart enough to see were better when Patrick starts.
Why put stuck in parenthesis? I don't think there's any disputing that Lin is not moveable for anything quality in return at this point. Obviously the vast majority of the site is hoping we win a championship. Doubting a players ability and hoping they perform are two separate entities. I hope Lin makes me eat my words but my money is on the opposite
LIN 2013-14 FG .446 3pts .358 FT% .823 Beverley http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/3964/patrick-beverley FG .411 3pts .357 FT% .814
The defense and leadership is what puts Beverley over the top. Also not jumping in the air and passing to the first human being in the area helps.
I feel the same way I care about the rockets first I could care less how we win a championship. If lin has a huge post season I would love it but I don't think he has it in him.
PAUL 2013-14 FG .463 3pts .362 FT% .859 Collison FG .466 3pts .390 FT% .856 Collison is better, amirite?
With lin, just playing or staying healthy come playoffs time is already a success. Obviously, we need more to actually make his contract worthwhile. Im sure he knows that he's one of the laughingstocks in the nba so its time to prove the doubters wrong, for Rockets sake.
And Beverley is STILL starting. Tells you all you need to know about Lin's defense and ball handling.
Did you watch last night? Bev jumped and passed at least 2-3 times..was wondering if he would get any grief for that.
Let's hope he does. I'd love to see him come out and start being aggressive. We need him to be irrational confidence guy to make a deep run.
