Can someone explain to me why Michael Beasley isnt playing?

I don't care to go through your long emotion filled post. But the fact that you think a 4 who shoots 45% or under ever year(except this year when he played nothing but garbage time minutes) isn't garbage and inefficient tells me all I need to know. And you're comparing his shooting %s to guards. More proof you have no idea what the fukk you're talking about. He's also a turnover machine.

Also if im a hater for recognizing that he's shyt does that mean that every team he's played on are haters because they all got rid of him after realizing he was garbage?

Someone should change this thread title to Haslem or Battier. Both play better D than Lewis and could hit an open shot. Honestly, Oden would be a better option than Beasley. The Heat ain't going to outscore the Spurs. It's just not going to happen. They need to bog them down. Beas won't help with that. Pop would just go at dude every time down the court.

Spo likes to trap on defense, but that shyt clearly ain't working. He should stop trying to go small and put in Birdman/Oden/Haslem/Jones (2 of the 4) so Pop can put in Splitter and Duncan like he's been doing all year. Just make the paint a swamp of height and length.

the guy absolutely sucks ass on defense.






but the kid is still in the league because he gets buckets, plain and simple. his ability to finish around the rim, hit the midrange jumper and even nail three-pointers is skill set that will get you a roster spot. if not for his transgressions with weed he'd probably still be starting for the suns (although they clearly seem to be doing okay without him)

the underlying issue here is he plays for a coach who can't develop young players. in spo's 6 years as coach, what have his young players done?

chalmers has regressed from a solid NBA starter, to decent role player, to a guy who looks like he should be in the NBDL. boneheaded mistake after boneheaded mistake and stupid foul after stupid foul.

cole seems to have already reached his ceiling, guys like jarvis varnado and dexter pittman were wastes of roster spots. he had patrick beverly on the roster and cut him...you think beverly's aggressive defense would be handy against the spurs right now?

had a young wing who showed some promise in terrell harris and had garrett temple, who is managing to stick around in the league.

beasley would get 8-12 minutes a night on the spurs and do quite well, simply because popovich knows how to put his players in the best position to succeed...you prolly wouldnt even notice his shytty defense if he played on san antonio.

I'm a Suns fan and I can tell you he'd already fallen out the rotation BEFORE the weed thin happened.That shyt was like a blessing in disguise.Suns fans werewhen that happened because it gave the Suns a reason to cut him.

And him being a good finisher in the lane is a myth like unicorns.He's very average in that regard.

His game is on some very very poor man's Chris Mullin shyt.

He can score, but he drifts outside of the game plan.As I said before, it's like he's out there playing "21" in the middle of a NBA game

Before he played for the Suns, I was intrigued by his "talents".I used to ride for him.."Once he gets in the right system, look out!"

But after having the chance to watch him play every game, I realized just how bad of a player he was/is

Beasley's TrueShooting % for Pheonix last year (a team that gave him a green light to score all year)

Good enough for 350th out of 398 players

He also has averaged more turnovers per game than assists per game in every season he's played.

but I'm a hater for saying he's inefficient and garbage.

I don't think people realize how good Beasley was playing in the beginning of the season

He was looking like a 6th MOTY candidate before Spoelstra benched him for whatever reason. Killed his sativa filled aura Give Beasley 10 minutes a game of the bench he'll put up 12

You can't tell me this old a** team couldn't use a athletic 25 y/o who could run the floor and heat up for a couple minutes

talk about defense when Wade, 39 y/o Ray Allen, and Mario Chalmers clocking minutes brehs​

Beasley's defense was being exposed against INDIANA. at him getting tick against the Spurs

i don't think anybody is questioning beasley's defense- he's not a great defender. but miami as a whole have been playing bad defense. i would have liked to see him play, he may have been able to offer some offense and another player who can get his own shot off the dribble. some times you might a give a little bit somewhere to maybe gain something. who knows beasley could have been a spark, problem is spo never gave him a shot.

the same way i think haslem should have got some run at least vs diaw, since spo claims to be about defense. overall dude has just mismanaged his rotation. coulda threw oden in there just to use fouls on splitter or duncan, and at least have a big body in their face for stretches of the game.

This shyt here is real, as a coach when you are getting yo ass bussed, you take chances. Im 100% sure Oden would make a difference, there is no reason he should be on the bench if doctors have been saying he is more healtht than ever. Thats bad coaching, especially against a team with 2 legit bigs.

 

[DetroitEWarren]

Beasley active you dikk suckin ass bytch nikkas. Bet bread he gives Duncan or Diaw problems. Pop is great enough to adjust, but if he gets in and is matched up with one of Duncan or Diaw, he will eat.

 

[Joe_tu-pac]

I would have had tried out Oden the past 2 games to ugly the game up and keep the Spurs from gaining that offensive momentum. Seems too late to try adjustments now but we'll see

Beasley comes in , fukks up a PnR rotation that leads to a Mills 3, turns the ball over with a travel, fukks up another rotation and then gets blocked and turns the ball over again.
