Latest Ask Ira addressing folks concerns over Beasley not playing. Nice answer by Ira

Chris Bosh now doubtful to play tomorrow night after his wife gave birth just about an hour or so ago.

 

[Paolo305613]

The Heat has other options to start and to use off the bench ahead of him, but this might be a good shot for folks to see Beasley on the court in a game.

I wouldn't expect Beasley to start because I don't like UD starting at C. I would like to see Bird start with UD but I think Beasley should be the 10th man tomorrow

 

[Paolo305613]

Feel bad for Brad Stevens - Should’ve stayed at Butler rather than coaching those clowns in Boston

 

[Paolo305613]

Oden not with the team today either - staying home for the one game trip to continue to rehab . More chance for Beasley to play ?

 

[Paolo305613]

And then Ira tweets something that makes it seem as even in this case, it doesnt necessarily mean Beasley plays

No. 1 pick Anthony Bennett starts season 0-15 shooting through four games | ProBasketballTalk

After the way Cleveland reacted to LBJ leaving - Something like this happening to them is worth sharing with fellow Heat fans and laughing together.

You’re welcome.

Shane Battier to start in place of Chris Bosh - Udonis Haslem to center according to Ira…Shane has sucked it up all season long from 3 especially and we all know he cant defend anyone at the PF position but here are the Heat over-valuing him again… Was going to be nice to him this season but he is running out of time if he continues to be useless to the team. And, yes, I say we overvalue him and have done so a lot already this season because he has provided nothing , yet these clowns keep talking as if when he does and has done so much for the team. The leash is far too long on this guy. Lets see how long they keep him out there if he continues to struggle… Probably will still play 35-38 minutes

 

[Paolo305613]

Greg Oden, and of course, Chris Bosh inactive for tonight. Chalmers, Wade, James, Shane, UD starting

 

[Paolo305613]

So the Heat are breaking out the circus early in the game? Shane in the circle for the jump ball

 

[Paolo305613]

Yet another slow start to a lesser team

 

[bksballer89]

another slow start.

Nice feed by LBJ.

 

[bksballer89]

Joel ahead of Beasley? Fucking joke. If Beasley cannot see a minute when Bosh is out he should be cut tonight because he will probably never play meaningful minutes

 

[bksballer89]

Wade could really use someone like Beasley out there right now as another option who doesn't have to spot up to be efficient
