Q&A With Patrick Beverley

All that will change once Jones starts stomping the competition.

 

LOL....well played sir.

 

Patrick Beverley is a consummate professional, I hope he retires a Rocket.

 

Homeless people aren't competition.

So Morey only wants point guards with their own movies.

 

Bev's a very good backup but he's not a starter material as some here thinks he's gonna be. But I believe he's a very good role player that will greatly lift the Rockets' bench overall. Giving him 20+ minutes won't be bad.

 

LOL....

 

It really depends on the system. If we got phil in here and ran the triangle, pbev is a much better fit than jlin. See derek fisher... Jack ass douche bag fish probably wouldnt start for anyone but he was the right fit for the system

 

Great. Happy to hear Bev is feeling good and ready to roll.

For people going nuts about the PG situation. There was Phoenix Suns team in the late 1990's that had Kevin Johnson, Jason Kidd and Steve Nash on it.

Things will work themselves out. Regardless of what is said, who is rooted for, etc.

Just let things play themselves out, would be my advice.

This team has a tremendous amount of talent on it. I can't wait for training camp to start, let alone the season.

 

^ Should have added this for newer basketball fans.

So, that Suns team had three borderline- or Hall Of Fame point guards on it. There were thoughts and concerns about "Who was 'the guy' at PG?", all of that. It doesn't really matter. Things will take care of themselves on the court and in the minds of the coaches and the front office, regardless of who I root for or who anyone else roots for or against.

The best thing that can happen with this team is if the point guard position goes from a weakness to a strength. So, if we have two excellent point guards rather than 0, that's huge. And maybe Brooks has a resurgence and maybe Canaan is ready to contribute right away. Those things would be great for the team, and reduce the list of "question mark" positions down to just PF.

If Patrick Beverley and Jeremy Lin can both play and be starters in this league -- and I think they can be -- they will get their chance. Hopefully (in my mind), both will be with Houston and both will contribute to Rockets success.

 

I hope PatBev is around for a long time. Good article.

 

I'm gonna have to check out that documentary. Great to see Bev realizing his dreams.

You don't know what you ate talking about. It wlll be the other way around. You are such a hater

 

So 2 now we got 2 overhyped pgs sounds like pure folly. Sorry i am just being cautious. Nothing idiotic about. The verdict is still out there, lets see this coming season .

 

I see it the other way around. Lin has been working his but off in the off season.

 

Wow, such a sensible post. I'm guessing none of the LDQs from either side will listen. (Lin Drama Queens)

 

Great interview!

 

The thing is whether or not Lin is a good positional defender (he has great feet and hand positioning and understanding of angles) McHale wants our pg to harrass the opposing pg, so Lin needs to work on pressuring the pg more. Bev is a good defender but it is relatively easier to get by him as he too close to the pg and misses the angle often, so he needs to learn more positional defense. I hope both will work on their defense.

 

Giving love to Bev isn't a bad idea. It's your sniping on Lin that's bad or you didn't understand that? The MOD made it pretty clear already.
