Yeah they really need to take out Douglas

There is and will always only be one scrub on the Heat … his name is Shane Battier not Toney Douglas…. This is a title that no one will ever take away from Shane

This guy Spo annoys me. Nights when Wade is out is when Beasley should def play. His rotations are so inconsistent. There are only 3 players who gets consistent minutes

UD , unlike the scrub making instant impact doing the little things for the Heat

 

[Paolo305613]

The Shane Battier -effect, which is always a negative effect - Now, the Heat are all out of sorts and cant get right. Gotta keep him out long enough to get back in the game and take control and just let him in during garbage time

Scrub gets rejected

 

[Paolo305613]

No need for Beasley when the bench, except for the scrub of course - is this effective. Beas will probably see action tomorrow.

 

[Paolo305613]

Scrub back in the game at garbage time when the game has been decided so he cant have a negative effect on the game. Of course, this game would have gone a lot easier for the Heat had Spo removed him sooner or not played him at all - maybe tomorrow

Another stellar performance for the scrub aka shane battier, 10 minutes too long 0-2 from 3 of course for the one-dimensional scrub and 2 fouls as per usual with his non-existent D. What a completely useless scrub

LeBron James: 43 points (6-8 3PT FG), 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals
Chris Bosh: 21 points and 6 rebounds
Ray Allen: 14 points
Toney Douglas: 9 points and 5 assists
Greg Oden: 6 points, 3 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals
Chris Andersen: 8 rebounds

Even in a limited role, Oden had a bigger impact on this game than the scrub

Seems like the Oden move may be permanent and I support this move

I like seeing him play, but not so sure about just the first half of 1st and 3 rd qtr.

They need to incorporate him in the 4 th qtr close out lineup if they plan to ever use him in that role during the playoffs.

Next Wednesdays game vs Pacers will be interesting to see what rotations he uses.

I agree with you that I would like to see him more than just the first 7 minutes of each half but Battier been awful this year and a move had to be made if he can't even hit his 3's
