    you serious? For every "bev sucks" post there's at least 5 "jeremy lin sucks!" threads. Any objective person can see this.

    Exactly, I like Beverley. He is a good backup PG for Lin. LOFs shouldn't take the bait from the haters. There is no need to cause imaginary conflicts between Lin and Beverley.

    I've seen long time posters bash/criticize players along with new members and usually it's the new members who get the blame for it. I would say the number of people looking out just for Lin above the team is a limited number of people at this time. If they think Lin being used more a certain way, it's usually because they think it would benefit the team more. Just as some don't think it's a big that big of a deal.

    BTW if you look above it was a long time poster who made comments that he though Lin was better at such and such and look how he was told to GTFO. You seem more sensitive when you see criticism of players you like just like Lin fans do, so I don't think you'll see eye to eye with any Lin fans.

    I like Bev as the backup PG.

    He brings a ton of energy and heart. Just an awesome spark guy.

    You ABJs are unbelievable.

    He is not very talented to begin with, hence why he wasn't a lottery pick. Fans of any team love hardworkers. So what makes you dislike his hardwork so much?

    You ABJs would criticize him because Reggie Jackson had a good performance against him. Going by that logic, should we use Lin airballing a wide open 3 against the heat as an example of how he performs in crunch time?

    Its really criticize anyone but Jeremy for a lot of you. And I like Jeremy, but ABJs criticizing the entire team to prop up Lin is just getting annoying.

    I don't think anyone put down Bev saying he was terrible or anything, it was a comparison between some who believe Bev would be the future PG of the team and some who don't believe so based on what they think their skills and performance so far has been.

    That has been used to criticize Lin, just in the other thread.

    Frankley I'm very pleased we have both point guards and look foward to their development/peformances this season regardless of how many many times Jeremy goes Linsane or how many bears Beverley kills

    I have a novel idea. Stick to the topic. Anyone posting about Lin in this thread needs to stop and only - talk about Beverly and Rose.

    The reality is that no team has only one PG.


    Deal with it.

    2nd Beverly isn't going anywhere soon - Rockets still have him on that 1st contract which is a greeeeeat deal.

    3rd Lin isn't going anywhere soon.

    So there isn't a need to defend Lin or bash Beverly.

    Ball don't lie. Try to stay on topic Lin Only Trolls.

    Nice vid, and I get where you're going with this. But if you watch that vid you see why there is a vast difference between the NBA MVP Rose and a D-League guy like Beverly. Rose attacks and finishes at the basket while Beverly takes awkward, off balance jump shots and against weak defense.

    Look, Beverly is a solid player but he will never be a top 5 or even top 10 starting NBA PG. The guy has no discipline and low basketball IQ. He hustles and plays with heart and some modest skill, but he has no control to his game. Watching Beverly play is like watching a whirling dirvish.

    Maybe BOFs would take the place of those LOFs

    Maybe we should just ban whoever uses ANY of those acronyms regardless of join date.

    It would certainly make the Crew much happier.

    Here is a protip for not pissing off the moderators.

    Quit posting with the intent of making other members angry. I dont want to hear any BS about how only one segment of the fanbase does it, it comes from BOTH sides and once it starts it just snowballs until the entire thread is a waste of space.

    Yup. Don't remember if it was you or RM95 (I think of yall as the same person) who said in the Feedback a while ago that people should stop using these acronyms, but that is a good idea. My Ignore list grows with each "_OF" post.

    Maybe those who endorse these insta-bans can be called Ban Only Posters (BOPs)?

    LOL


    Blake would be insulted to hear that! :p

    Im much older, uglier and twice as b****y as RM is. ;)

    Seriously, I would love it. Clutch doesnt like having to ban folks, but the trolling going on in this forum seems to coincide with people using those acronyms which severely degrades the level of discourse and I dont know how much longer he is going to put up with it.

    Also - no one actually says "Beverley sucks". The closest is "overrated on this board".

    Captain Bev is average and will be nothing more. A better fit then Lin next to Harden but not better then Lin. Both Lin and Bev are just backups really but we don't need more then that. Just someone that can play off ball and not down a jumpshot

    Wait... I thought ABJ's stood for Anyone But Jeremy? Your post got me really confused, I thought ABJs wanted any PG but Lin :confused:

    Yes it does mean that. That person probably using it with his own definition. Anyways, just stop with the labeling as a mod already said to.
