Michael Beasley with 19 points for Miami tonight...

[chips93]

he has always had a ton of talent offensively. he didnt get picked 2nd for nothing. What matters for him is basketball iq, and defense.

how did he defend last night, and did his shots come in the flow of the offense thats what matters.

if he just got hot, and hit a handful of long 2s, early in the shot clock, thats not really progress for superbeas. was that the case last night?

Instant offense when he's on

[PJR]

Been most impressed with his efficiency so far. 5-7 the other night, 8-12 last night. That wasn't a trend earlier on in his career. We will see how long that holds up.

Both Haslem and Battier should see their minutes cut for him, and he should be ahead of Lewis. Unfortunately, here in Miami, Haslem is treated better than the Big 3 even though he is an ultra-scrub.

Lol what? Haslem is NOT treated better than the Big 3. He's on the same level as Battier in terms of playing time, and that's mostly because the Heat have no bigs. Haslem is still an above average rebounder for the minutes that he plays. Birdman is more active around the rim but Haslem is still more physical of a player and does get the nod over Birdman at times because of his history in Miami.

But Haslem isn't getting playing time at the expense of Bosh/LeBron at PF/C if that's what you're implying. Beasley would be a fine backup to LeBron if he shows he is willing to put in the work defensively and not be a blackhole on offense.

and it appears Miami may start giving Oden some burn in december/jan time so they could have some good bench options by then.

Yes, he moved the ball well. He only took one long two that i thought was a bad shot (and it wasn't that bad) and he missed it.

He's active on defense, and looks more engaged than i've seen him; far more active off the ball on offense then he used to be. He looks in better shape too: quicker and more explosive.

Lebron is taking him under his wing..his words.

The kobeless Lakers are looking pretty good atm, what's the excuse gonna be when Bryant returns and they don't make it past the first round?
Hill, Kaman and gasol should make for good scapegoats, after all you can't blame nick young for chucking you out of games, that's just the guys killer mentality

What's the excuse for the Lakers getting swept in the first round without Kobe last season?

BTW the Lakers are 4-5. In the Western conference that's the lottery......unlike the Eastern Conference that guarantees you a playoff spot.

Kids thinking they can troll....
