I think the Heat considered that while plodding along during the regular season.

We're at the NBA Finals now.
If the Heat lose it will just be because the Spurs were the better team.

Only way I will back off the better team statement would be if the Heat lose in 7 and then down the road it is proven that foul play was involved with the very suspicious AC failure.

The fact that the Spurs had cooling fans in their locker room doesn't raise any eyebrows around here?

Cooling fans are always brought to outdoor events when hot temperatures are expected.
For what reason would they be kept in the locker room of an indoor A/C controlled venue?

On top of that, in sports, things do happen, but when they do....the playing field is always kept even.
If one teams head sets stop working, the other team has to turn them off, etc...

The AC not working was not a coincidence and it is a clear advantage to SA (even before the fans). The NBA will never publicly state it was on purpose and they will never need to for 2 huge reasons:

1- People would rather not think about collusion, PEDs, or illegal tactics. They would rather ignore the evidence and pretend that every thing is on the up and up.

2- What could they do now? SA forfeits a game? Pays a huge fine? Coach is suspended? Player? Anything short of a forfeit is not enough but a forfeit is far too strong.

Rashard Lewis is a decent defender and is a nice substitute for Mike Miller.

AFA even playing field, the visitor's locker rooms are almost always crappier than the home team's, in every sport and level.

Huge difference between having shitty showers and 1 team magically having fans when they cut the AC.

He is still a huge liability on defense and his offensive efficiency does not make up for it.

Not sure how significant PER are, but Beasleys the pretty high on the list of NBA PF's.
Ranked 9 th.

He must be pretty efficient somewhere, somehow.

San Antonio would expose Beasley. Our offense is not a issue

For offense pretty good.

Off the bench though it would help. He can create his own shot better than any other on the bench.

And how is that helping if he's getting shredded on the opposite end? The guy is a terrible defender

which I just don't understand. the physical tools are there to be a good defender. athletic. fast. so much of defense is just "want to." as stupid as that sounds. I just think he falls asleep to often.. and with danny green or leonard as the likely guy he guard.. it would start raining 3's on us.

As I stated earlier, I am not endorsing for him to be thrown into the rotation.
He should be active over Oden though.

As far as shredded. Didn't the Spurs shoot 87% in the 4 th qtr and 59% in game 1?
Wasn't Beasley in a suit?
Who are we blaming?

One thing about Beasley.
Since day 1 this year he has always played hard, with energy, never slacking.
What other Heat players other than Bird , Cole, and UD can we say that about?

Yep. Got my beer in the fridge and my carnitas should be ready right about game time!! Should be a fun game!!

Beasley has to learn the defensive system that Miami implements. As mentioned before, offense is not an issue against the Spurs - it's defense. Beasley doesn't help with that category.
