What's Beasley's +/-? I'm curious to know how it compares to everyone else ahead of him in the rotation. Do the numbers actually support his supporters?

+/- stat is easily the worst stat in basketball and it's for queers

The +/- stat would tell you that we're a better team without Wade on the floor. It also tells that the Celtics were a better team last year without Rondo on the floor

Going to +/- to downplay Beasley is very weak IMO. Beasley is not a superstar or anything but he definitely has talent & he's definitely a better basketball player than Rashard Lewis

Game should've been over if we hadn't blown a couple double-digit leads, missing FTs, and turnovers. LeBron's turnover with us up 3 led Minny right back in the game and if we would've won then Minny would've missed the POs officially but they're still in at our expense. Everything happens at our expense.

The game was lost when Chalmers misses the one free throw. That was it. All he has to do was make two free throw. He didn't.

Yes Chalmers should've hit those but we deserved to lose this damn game and there's no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

It doesn't even down play Beasley though, which is what he was trying to do. Beasley has better plus minus than Rashard and Haslem.

I don't get what some posters have against Beasley playing? he's 6'8 and can rebound well while putting up some points Cole is an ok defender but he sucks at every thing else, Rashard is a crap defender and he doesn't put up points like Beasley while being a worse rebounder.

It's just the Old ass guys here in there 40's. They will always hate on beas cuz he smoked pot.

One poster in particular goes as far to PRAISE Lewis just to push his agenda against Beas lol. It's quite funny.

[Amorphous Blob]

Well at least Game Of Thrones is back on Sunday hopefully we don't lose to the Knicks.

At the end of the day..

A coach like Greg Pop would still find a way to get Beasley in the rotation. I truly believe that.

This isnt the Beasley from a few years ago. He's actually bought into the system. Give him a shot.

We certainly roll with Cole's ups and downs.

[HeatNation88]

We need to rest Bron and Bosh and play Oden and Wade. Our starting lineup should be PG Wario, SG D Wade, SF Beasley , PF UD, C Oden we would still be solid and get a couple W's and maybe hold on the first seed and stay as fresh and healthy as possible for the playoffs

[NBAfan3024]

least you guys didn't lose anything with the Pacers losing.

[heatlespeatles]

i still don't think Cole fouled Brewer, Cole is wack but that wasn't a foul lol

[KingDavid]

I dont understand why beasley is out of rotation either. But anyway we sucked the whole way through last night. We should be resting at this point, not playing double ot. Damn, we have to make our guys play in front of the home crowd.

Good players have fallen out of rotation in Pop's system, actually frequently. They just don't go public and start discussing it.

If Beas is out of the rotation there is probably a reason why. Maybe they caught him smoking or broke some part of a deal about partying? Who knows maybe he just wasn't meshing in the locker room. All I know is team isn't complaining or whining about it which means it's probably a legit reason and we aren't keeping some great player off the court. A lot of you need to show Spo more respect. He may not be the best, but he handles team issues well enough.

[Bourne85]

I will never respect spo, he just isn't a good coach. Put him anywhere else without the big 3, he wouldn't last 2 seasons.

I think he's a good game to game adjuster but in-game he's nowhere elite. I give him full credit for going small in 2012 but this year I have been unhappy with him. Before the season started I was even defending him as a top 5 coach on the Knicks board but now I wouldn't say that to anyone.
