2065909, This is why I'm not letting up on Brad Beal...EVER.
Posted by Basaglia, Fri Aug-22-14 02:11 PM
Chad Ford
(1:38 PM)

Davis and Lillard are going to be in a huge battle for the No. 1 pick. Waiters, after a rocky summer and pre-season, is starting to round into form. All year folks thought we were overrating Lillard ... now it looks like we underrated him. Too early to tell for super young players like MKG and Beal. The play of Andre Drummond has to be encouraging to the Pistons. I wasn't much of an Austin Rivers fan coming into the draft and I still may have overrated him. He's been flat out awful both in the pre-season and regular season. Also been disappointed in the early returns for Thomas Robinson. The Mavs' Jae Crowder is the early pick for steal of the draft.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/5009 BEAL

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/5016 RIVERS


speaks for itself.
2065910, I have no idea why they hate Rivers...
Posted by ChuckNeal, Wed Nov-07-12 01:00 PM
He must really be a prick behind the scenes b/c they'll give Beal all kinds of passes; Rivers gets nothing
2065911, beal is a GREAT kid....but, I gotta do what I gotta do
Posted by Basaglia, Wed Nov-07-12 01:02 PM
2065915, He probably is a prick. But Beal was aight in Summer League.
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Wed Nov-07-12 01:08 PM
Austin has been a trainwreck since 2 seconds after the draft.
2065922, summer league didn't count...no one cares. how bout NOW?
Posted by Basaglia, Wed Nov-07-12 01:16 PM
2065925, I think they both aren't good in the NBA
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Wed Nov-07-12 01:19 PM
Austin was at least okay in college.

Beal at least has the upside of waiting for his pg to comeback.

Rivers only has Eric Gordon coming back.
2065926, i'll even take THAT...but, he flat out gave Beal a full pass
Posted by Basaglia, Wed Nov-07-12 01:21 PM
2065931, I think it's cuz Beal is vanilla and looks the part.
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Wed Nov-07-12 01:25 PM
When he ends up being Glendon Alexander with the box cut off, folks will turn.

Jordan Crawford ain't gonna let up scoring either so the numbers will look crooked.

The one thing that works for Austin in this is he seems like the type that will take it personal that people think he's some Bullshit and try extra hard. Beal seems like he'd get emo.
2065937, Rivers hasn't played well....not sure why you don't understand
Posted by Warren Coolidge, Wed Nov-07-12 01:34 PM
that people are simply forming an opinion based upon what they see Rivers doing on the court, and his numbers...

seems pretty straight forward..

dude has been overrated for a while and it's manifesting itself now.
2065979, It's about people giving Beal a pass for being shitty too
Posted by ChuckNeal, Wed Nov-07-12 02:38 PM
Now if Ford said they both stink this post wouldn't have been made. But the NBA media have continued to make excuses for Beal and diss Rivers even though Rivers had a slightly better freshman season and neither one has played well so far this season. Just seems like they like Beal as a person more than Rivers which is stupid and shouldn't be used in developing a bball opinion
2065997, People have been saying Rivers was overrated for years...
Posted by Warren Coolidge, Wed Nov-07-12 03:02 PM
they said it before he played at Duke...while he played at Duke...and they sayin it now..

I mean myself...I don't think he's a bad player...but I do think that he was over hyped coming out of high school and there are some things about his game that he needs to work on to become an effective nba player..

2066079, Yea, you didnt read anything I said
Posted by ChuckNeal, Wed Nov-07-12 04:57 PM
2065914, But... but... but Rivers is ten months older than Beal!
Posted by Frank Longo, Wed Nov-07-12 01:08 PM
Never mind they're the same grade level and have the same amount of experience... HE OLDER! AGE! IT COUNTS!

lol

2065918, i don't get it.
Posted by Guinness, Wed Nov-07-12 01:12 PM
rivers wasn't very good in college and is, unsurprisingly, terrible in the pros. what does that have to do with beal?

2065921, beal has been worse...and ford gave him a pass.
Posted by Basaglia, Wed Nov-07-12 01:16 PM
now if you not willing to discuss that discrepancy in an unbiased manner moving forward...please, leave the thread.
2065935, LOL
Posted by Guinness, Wed Nov-07-12 01:32 PM
since when do i care about your totally idiotic NCAA agendas?

OH THIS GUY PLAYED 22 GAMES FOR A SCHOOL I DIDNT ATTEND NOW I WILL RIDE FOR HIM ETERNALLY

rivers sucks. not because he went to duke, but because he's a bad basketball player. he was mediocre in college, terrible in the preseason and terrible thus far. he's higher profile than most other rookies because he went to a big-time program, has a punchable face and is doc rivers' son.
2065936, bye
Posted by Basaglia, Wed Nov-07-12 01:34 PM
2065941, enjoy this agenda blowing up in your face.
Posted by Guinness, Wed Nov-07-12 01:41 PM
2065960, Don't worry, I'll be here to argue the facts on Austin.
Posted by Kajun, Wed Nov-07-12 02:12 PM
Unrelated to Ba's dukie agenda. I'm a Hornets fan, so unlike the rest of you, I will watch most of his games this year. And we've had plenty of busts over the past decade, so I am no stranger to them.


One thing I will not be doing this year is picking apart box scores for a 20 year old rookie with one year of college ball under his belt while learning a new position. I will be WATCHING. Based on your statements so far, almost every player in the league is a bust in their rookie year based on statistics alone.

Whatever happened to player development? How are you making declarations on this kid with practically ZERO data? He is passing my eyeball test to this point, and is improving every game. The fact that you don't see it is fine, you aren't paying attention like I am. The box scores will pile up, his numbers will improve steadily and by year 2 or 3 he will be at minimum a solid player and you will be silent.



2065964, I've been watching...and he's contributed with D and playmaking
Posted by Basaglia, Wed Nov-07-12 02:15 PM
no one can accuse the kid of not being ACTIVE and playing hard as hell.

i can accuse beal of that. he's passive and lost.

and ford wants to ignore it and dump on austin. it's sickening and i will not stand for it.

I WILL NOT, SIR!
2065969, That's what I don't get about the Rivers hate.
Posted by Kajun, Wed Nov-07-12 02:24 PM
The boy LOVES to play ball. He is hungry as fuck out there, and its already showing big time with his defense. Monty molding him into a COMPLETE guard, and its gonna make these cats mad as fuck.


But this one is long term anyway, so I just gotta chill. He's gonna get hated on this year regardless so maybe I'll sit back and let it simmer.
2066000, i don't hate him.
Posted by Guinness, Wed Nov-07-12 03:07 PM
he annoyed me in college, but that's over with. i just think it's unlikely that a mediocre college shooting would become a good pro shooting guard, no matter how passionate/gutsy/willie winguy everyone says. that kind of dumb jock puffery bugs me.
2065927, 15 percent? am I reading that right?
Posted by Bombastic, Wed Nov-07-12 01:21 PM
2065933, lmao know right. rivers ain't much better but damn
Posted by southphillyman, Wed Nov-07-12 01:29 PM
wasn't beal whole hype about his shooting form/ability?
2065939, Rivers shooting pretty terrible from the field too...
Posted by Warren Coolidge, Wed Nov-07-12 01:35 PM
2065940, honestly I saw 15 for Beal & 20 for Rivers and thought I was reading wrong
Posted by Bombastic, Wed Nov-07-12 01:38 PM
I guess the sample size is small enough to make that possible but damn, those aren't even Duck Sauce rookie numbers.
2065942, beal will be fine.
Posted by Guinness, Wed Nov-07-12 01:41 PM
rivers won't.
2065944, So basically no one cares about Beal
Posted by DolphinTeef, Wed Nov-07-12 01:44 PM
despite Basa's continued effort to divert attention from Rivers' equal shittyness?
2065945, it's mystifying
Posted by Guinness, Wed Nov-07-12 01:48 PM
all the weird crying about anti-duke bias in the LIBERAL LAMESTREAM MEDIA is so sarah palin

2065949, so two games in and you are mad as shit at a rookie SG?
Posted by DolphinTeef, Wed Nov-07-12 01:59 PM
who plays for the Wizards?
without a PG?


k.
2065951, what's with all these excuses?
Posted by Basaglia, Wed Nov-07-12 02:01 PM
he healthy. rivers just had bone spurs removed from his ankle 3 weeks ago...the same ankle he played on all summer.

i don't wanna hear it. no excuses. none. he sorry.
2065952, wait, are you referring to Rivers? to be fair, it applies to both
Posted by DolphinTeef, Wed Nov-07-12 02:02 PM

>i don't wanna hear it. no excuses. none. he sorry.


just so we're clear.
2065954, really? you suggesting they both be held EQUALLY accountable?
Posted by Basaglia, Wed Nov-07-12 02:08 PM
well, gosh darnit...

that's what i've been saying all along.

why doesn't chad ford think like us? crazy, right?
2065959, it's pointless to get mad at Chad Ford.
Posted by DolphinTeef, Wed Nov-07-12 02:12 PM
