Well, seems like Lin is coming off the bench http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2013/10...my-lin-bench-patrick-beverley-starting-lineup Beverly is a better defender and this move lets Harden handle the ball more. I think it's a good decision to have Lin run the second unit with the green light to score.
Beverly has been busting his ass since last season's playoffs. He deserves the nod. Lin has taken a laid back approach ever since he came to Houston.
Then use videos. You act like every turnover recorded in a database isn't accompanied by one wild Westbrook foray to the hoop that results in the ball rolling out of bounds. They don't just make the stats up.
The 2 Time, Repeat, Defending Champions are DOUBLING DRose (Though Chalmers RIPPED Rose Nicely to Begin the Game, to Be Fair)... REED:l2:
Chicago lost whatever toughness they had on the bench with the departure of Asik and Nate Robinson. They look depleted.
Just Read TLC's PSEUDO Intricate Breakdown...Haymaker Said it Best, "Stats DON'T Tell the Whole Story"...Especially when You're Trying Waaaaaaaaay Toooooooooo HARD, Tabulating Shit Like "Synergy" & "PPP's"...WHATthefuck???:l2:... If a PG Throws a Pass that a Teammate SHOULD Have Caught, yet Doesn't, that's a T.O...REED Saw Some Other SHIT Stat about "Bad Hands", Which is Probably an ATTEMPT @ Minimizing REED's Last Sentence...Problem is, Say You Throw an Oooop to DWade, he JUMPS for it, yet This is 1 of his "Bad Knee" Days & he DOESN'T Touch the Rock @ All???...T.O. For YOU... What if You're Feeding a Certified DIPSHIT like Javale McGee Or an Offensive NONENTITY like Kendrick Perkins, After he's Set a GREAT Pick & is ROLLING to the Basket, yet McGee or Perkins NEVER Looks for the Pass, Despite Being Open???...T.O. for YOU...Nonetheless, Pick & Roll is All about CREATING & CAPITALIZING on a Brief, IMMEDIATE Opening in the Defense, yet YOUR Silly Ass #'s PENALIZE a Guy for that...Worse, YOU Stick your NERDY Ass Chest Out, Calling Russell Westbrook a "BAD Dribbler" On THAT Basis... Plenty of Games, Westbrook's Ran Pick & Roll w/Perkins, who Subsequently BOBBLES the Pass OR, Isn't Even Aware he was Being Passed To (Despite Being WIDE ASS OPEN)... There's NO Stat for THAT, Dude... Bottom Line, TLC...List the Guys Rated ABOVE Westbrook in "Synergy", "PPP", Or Whatever OTHER Nonsense You're Throwing Against the Wall, THEN Ask a KNOWLEDGEABLE Hoop Fan Exactly HOW MANY Of those Same Guys they'd Take OVER Westbrook Right Now???... Better Yet, Do the Shit HERE...The Hoop Thread Could Use the COMIC RELIEF... REED:hammert:
To Be Clear, Cole Definitely SHOOK Rose, but Birdman is the Reason he FELL...Rose GAMBLED on Cole Going Right, Which Got him Beat, but he WOULDN'T have Fallen to the Ground if NOT for Birdman TRIPPING him... Regardless, Chicago's Getting WORKED Right Now...Down 21, 4:15 from Half... REED:hammert:
I was most impressed with Roy Hibbert tonight. 16 rebounds and 7 blocks is super dominant anchoring the C. The Magic seem to have very little talent though.
He's done this before only to fall off a cliff about 6 weeks into the year. I wouldn't get too excited about his play at the beginning of the year. It seems to be an annual thing with him.
How do you know this? I'm not saying you're wrong but just wondering where you got it. I heard Lin's been busting his ass over the summer and has an improved jump shot. If I was him I would have spent the summer traveling to Japan, Thailand & China and fucking all those Asian groupies all on his dick. Yep, he had me fooled last year. Started out with some nice post moves and was even hitting free throws at a decent pace. Few weeks later it was right back to the same old thing. At the same time you can't take too much that goes on at the beginning of the season seriously anyhow. It's a long season and teams and players will all go through ebbs and flows.
Cavs beat Nets and Sixers beat Miami. I'm already loving this season. These young teams are giving their all. Cavs don't have to tank. They already have their bright future with Irving/Waiters/Thompson. Sixers' rookie Carter-Williams with an impressive game 22pts 12asst 9stl (YES, 9 STEALS) and 7rbs. Almost a quadruple double in his debut. And people thought this was going to be one of the weakest drafts classes ever.
26 rebounds for howard tonight. the guy might just be a little more healthy in his second year after the back surgery
Yup, a lower back surgery is no joke, he needed time. He will never be an offensive monster like Shaq but his defense and rebounding are elite, no doubt. Also, playing without Kobe seems to help the cause.
26 Rebounds May SOUND Impressive, but Those In the KNOW Realize it's Really a "Meaningless Stat"... REED:hammert:
DNP for DWade, in the 2nd Game of the Fucking Season???....Bitchass BETTER Play Tonight... REED:boohoo:
