One more thing for the Michael Beasley vs. SpoBot(Lewis)

Lewis in the last 16 games averages
12mins 3pts 1rb

To put in comparison! I looked at Beasley's full game logs. The worst 5 game stretch of SEASON for Beasley was;

6mins 4pts 1rb

Take away the dumb argument of (Beasley is lost on D) and (Lewis is always in the right place)! Its plain DUMB what this coach is doing with this bench. Instead of using the BENCH for what the bench is...Hes asking his system to produce (which isn't). This is an example of a coach not getting the most out of roster.

Bellyaching about who should be the 9th or 10th man when this team is on a 60 win pace despite Wade missing 14 games.

Really.


Really.

The infatuation with Beasley's place in the rotation is astounding. You know how close this cat was to being out of the league altogether? Real close. We have a large sample size of what Michael Beasley is already. He's an up and down player, who's awareness defensively off the ball isn't the sharpest, and that's putting it kindly.

Spo, just like any head coach goes by what he observes in practices. If Michael isn't in the immediate rotation right now, there's probably a good reason for it.

I get it! Trust me, I get it! Beasley will not Win us a title! But....

But....

Why ignore our 9-10th man when it can help the team? Why not use the depth to keep your Star Players healthier when it counts? Why overuse your stars in the regular season? Why play someone that clearly is not worthy of being in the rotation.

To respond to being out of league. That has more to do with off the court and not what he can do on. He has bein a star off the court this year and the perfect team player so that arguement doesn't hold now. We have a large sample of Beasley? And we don't of Lewis? I'm confused? I'm ok w/ Beasley not playing! As long as it best for the team. But that's not the case! Why accept "Ok"? why not look for Better?

Soo is the same guy that observed Joel in practice.

C'mon dude, your main gripe is Spo electing to play Rashard Lewis over Michael Beasley the 11 spot minutes that LBJ and Bosh aren't on the court.

Again, really?

Perhaps Spoelstra has more trust and faith in Lewis's ability in not screwing up a defensive rotation for those spot minutes than Beasley, who most certainly has a history of doing so?

I'm going to go ahead and give the coach whom was employed by Pat Riley, and has coached this team to three straight NBA Finals, and back to back titles the benefit of the doubt. But that's just me.


And for the record, Wade, LBJ, and Bosh, are all playing career low minutes this season. All three of them. Career low minutes.

He's not overusing his stars. As a matter of fact he's doing the exact opposite. LeBron was whining the other week that he wanted to play MORE minutes.

To start the season Lebron was playing less but last 2 months? 39.4 and his career average? 39.6.

So really he just started the season playing less. But my point is more than minutes!?! Lebron is asked be our post player(pounding), offensive creater, 1. Defender and Big. Thats like saying we're not overusing Shane Battier because his minutes are down. No he's taken a beating trying to play PF in this system. The only player I see getting coached right is Wade. Regular season is to create chemistry and save our stars for playoffs.

Didn't LeBron complain about playing more minutes? I guess Phil Jackson used MJ too many minutes, using the same criteria. If Spo handed you a duffel bag with a million dollars in it you'd complain because it was in $100 dollar bills instead of $1000s
