Remember when Patrick Beverley maliciously and flagrantly injured Russell Westbrook, nearly ending Westbrook’s career? How dare somebody play with defensive intensity all 48 minutes! This isn’t just fun and games; there are superstars’ lives on the line here. Note to Patrick: save the defensive effort only for games that are: 1) within ten points, and 2) occurring during the playoffs. Regular season games? Just get in your stance and let people drive by you. Then you’ll have more energy for scoring points.
Adam Silver is watching you, man. One slip-up and you might find your neck slit in a back alley with not a trace of a struggle. Keep it mind, Patrick.
