It wasn't just the last game or the game before that, but he does this constantly. No matter how good Beasley is playing, Rambis will randomly sub him out. Sometimes he'll do it for 2 minutes, sometimes he'll leave him out for half the quarter, and sometimes he don't even play him down the stretch in the 4th quarter. Why does he do this? Beasley scores and does so very efficiently and he's also been passing extremely well of late.

I'm a Knicks fan, but I enjoy watching your team. But its mind boggling how Rambis use Beasley and his rotations in general. Its just so frustrating!

Um, if I could speak for the Wolves fans or NBA fans in general...go back to your own board and worry about the Knicks first and leave Rambis' rotations to the Wolves.
This question is so nutty it is no wonder no one but me has answered it and I am not from here either. Common sense can answer this.
First off Beasley has just got backfrom injury. Second off, maybe matchups and every player and team has a set rotation.
Looking at the game right now even Love is resting at the start of the second quarter. I know for a fact the Wolves probaly situational substitute offense for defense in close games now that Tolliver is back.
Beasley and Wolves will be ok. I enjoy watching them too. Especially when my boy Wes Johnson will starting moving hard off the ball and pop out on screen and let it fly.

But against teams who shoot the 3 well, Beasley is a horrible defender at his position and he will be on the bench at times. He is a monster and offensive machine but on D he is ...well, 'just a dude.'
Good day.

Beasley played 44 out of 53 minutes....he needs a rest evry now and then...I think most substitution methods are dependant on the oppositions line up, the players form, energy levels, defensive schemes, etc.

Rambis does sometimes sub off players, or leave good performing players on the bench for long periods - but theres generally a good reason...

I wouldnt worry about it too much....also, if you are a Knicks fan, why would you enjoy watching the Wolves? Are you twisted?

That ^

He's not a great defender and gets rested early in the games so he can play most if not all of the second half.

Whoops...

Thing is most people on the Timberwolves aren't great defenders, not just Beasley, I think it has more to do with the system. Coming from a heat fan, Beasley was a horrible defender in his 1st year than became an average to slightly above average in his second.

Didn't you guys normally play him at PF though? He has had a tougher time sticking with the quicker 3's in the league.

Beasley needs a periodic refill with Skittles, and he can't carry them on the floor with him because they get all warm and crushed.

It's because he is bad at coaching.

Beasley has rolled his ankle over like 5 times this January, so thats the main reason why he hasnt been playing his usual minutes this month. I really didnt have a problem with his minutes last game. He's gotta rest sometime.

Rambis said after the game Beasley looked very tired, that's the reason. Though he is beat up...
