Michael Beasley is so talented, but he's dumb as bricks. If he can put it together though, he's going to explode.

Hopefull 'dumb as rocks' Beasley shows up tonight

Unfortunately Miami is also going for their 24th win, so posting that number is a bit ambiguous. 8-)

when we were at .500 the number we posted was the same for wins and losses so who gives a crapper.

Sometimes both show up, like the other night against the Cavs. He just gets too crazy sometimes, he defensive goaltender on a shot that wasn't anywhere near going in, then he offensive goaltended on a shot that was going to go in anyway.

It's good too hustle and hall but you CAN take it too far.

Noo you misunderstood. It says "Beasley Sits" but it's about how he sat late in the last game because of a blown defensive assignment, he's playing tomorrow.

Home game for us, our chances still look pretty good (even with Beasley playing). Force their offense out into the perimeter and we should do alright. We won't stop Wade, but limiting second/third/fourth chances are key. Haslem eats us up on the glass.

I'm sure Rafer and Hedo are gonna have some laughs regarding the Magic right now.

I don't get this comment one bit. Dumb as bricks to what extent/regard?

Last I checked he's far from a chucker, far from a notorized "ball-hog". Beasley is the 4th leading scorer at pf in the east and IISC, the leader at pf in free throw percentage. He averages the same minutes as any other pf starter (though some of those minutes are at sf and out of his natural position).

Either way, as it is usually with the Heat vs the Raptors, the Heat need to limit the 3 point shots and the long rebounds to prevent the Raptors from running up and down the court on them. Should be a good/meaningful game with both teams jockeying for PO positioning.

Excellent work on the GT, a far cry from ours on the Heat board. How did you manage to get those GIFs, if I may ask?

I didn't say he was a chucker or a ball hog. I said he was dumb... in the extent that he can make a lot of silly mistakes on the floor sometimes... Blown defensive assignments, misreading certain situations, bad fouls.

But man, he's got so much talent.

And that's all I'm saying.... if he can get it all together he's going to explode.

Hate to say this, but the Raps can't win big games consistently like how they won that game against the Lakers...... There was too much luck involved in that game, now that I've watched it twice.........

The Raps D was average as usual, Bosh was being schooled by Bynum/Gasol on D, and they were in the game because Belinelli/Jack/Bargnani made some tough, tough, circus shots....... This team has to play better team D, fight for position aggressively (Foul more if necessary), play off-ball defense by sticking to those shooters who always seem to kill this team.. Let the Kobes/Lebrons/Wades, etc get their points, shut down everyone else on their teams..... That should be the strategy..

Farmar had a big game, guys like Reddick, Ryan Anderson, Roger Mason, Delfino, Al Harrington, Mo Evans, Eddie House are left wide open too often against this team....

Yea i can see Beasley getting like 25, the raps will try to contain Wade forgetting Beasley and he'll go off.

Should still be a good game though really don't know what to expect, although the heat are a decent road team, don't know if it will be close, because besides the cavs game the heat have had blowout results like every other game lol.
