I'm a big rockets fan but it's amazing that Lin can be bashed all over if he's not prefect, its 2 threads in nba dish with people going in on Lin, his foot on the line with a china shoe people can crack jokes it's ok, we can make a short leash thread bash him on the replies, but when someone makes one thread about bev people are salty ?
true, but we needed harden to close on that last play. bad coaching and harden not taking over cost us.
Because Mchale read this article and believed it: The numbers are clear: Patrick Beverley deserves to start over Jeremy Lin http://rockets.clutchfans.net/6001/patrick-beverley-deserves-to-start-over-jeremy-lin/
Because GARM members unaware that he got put on James Johnson in place of casspi smh Johnson was killing casspi till bev started guarding him even with height advantage
Wow, you guys need to take off your Lin-foil hats. OP is a 2006 member. So unless he has a time machine, calling him a Lin only fan is ridiculous. He didn't even mention Lin but you guys can't help but bring him up.
How stupid do you have to be to not realize that Bev had nothing to do with the final play it wouldn't matter if it was Lin or Brooks or Michael ****ing Jordan standing in that corner if the play wasn't drawn for him it wasn't drawn for him, Parsons ****ed up for picking up his dribble, McHale ****ed up for drawing a **** play, Bev did nothing wrong. And if you can't see the difference in team play on both ends when Bev is on the floor and when Lin is on the floor then stop watching basketball. Lin is constantly lost on defense (Conley went off on him), in transition defense (that time when he just left old man Miller run by him for an easy layup), on offense he's lost and indecisive because he doesn't understand his role (granted that's not his fault), he makes turnovers out of easy opportunities (the time he dribbled the ball out of bounds on the break). FG% will always be up and down, Melo just shot 22/33 shooting the same shots he shoots every game, next game he'll shoot 8/30, there's nothing you can do about it, but the impact you have in other areas on the court is something you have control of and it's what matters most in basketball.
Hard to find mins for him when he doesn't defend better than Bev or Lin and we generally spend a few minutes per game on the Bev+Lin lineup and the rest alternating Lin/Harden and Bev/Harden as our guard rotation.
