The latest Ask Ira - Is there enough competition in the East to keep the Heat’s attention?

I think the Heat should allow Michael Beasley to start in place of UD if he isn’t going to start as opposed to letting the useless scrub that is Shane Battier do so and do nothing -- Considering the ugly end to Beas tenure with the Suns and the way he has been playing for us, he could be motivated to have himself quite a game against them. I say get him in there to start and do damage early.

Eric Bledsoe expected to miss this game

I like Beasley on the bench....He can provide a better quick spark than Shane can.

Anyone can

Shane Battier playing ahead of Udonis Haslem in Miami Heat rotation - Sun Sentinel

Since this article is about the Shane, it is really not worth reading because it is time in your life you will never get back… And life is something to value highly… But, the highlight is towars the beginning where he mentions this is quite possibly his last year… It would come about 2 years too late… He will essentially rob the Heat of 3 rings he made no real significant contributions to.

You know Paolo is not fond of somebody when he thinks Beasley should be getting more playing time then that particular person. Still though, Beasley's been killing it so far this season. Let's hope he keeps this up into the playoffs.

No Mario Chalmers tonight

LA Fakers extend KoMe for 2 years - translation -making themselves irrelevant for the next 2 years

The scrub inexplicably still in the starting lineup - Norris Cole in for Mario Chalmers - Greg Oden and Rio inactive

Im rooting for Beasley this year - He has earned it - To this point, he has done nothing for me not to root for him - But, if we must be honest, we know there is a chance he might disappoint big time at some point or another

Another pass from LBJ to the scrub ends in a turnover - Some things will never change

Times like this is when we really need a backup PG

Look at those quick hands by Shane

 

[Paolo305613]

When CB shoots jumpers he always aims it and I think that contributes to him not making it at the rate he is capable of in relation to how much he shoots them… This is why I rather see him take it inside more often, which he does not do nearly enough of.

Kinda hard to see with all the bricks he is putting up from 3
