    You can't say that when he's getting 5 mins to play.

    Especially not when he's playing well during those 5 minutes, it's pretty clear he was limited by JBB, not injury.

    beasley has legit PF skills. The guy has an uncanny knack to get right at the rim It is not small ball playing him.

    We dont run PnRs with our SFs. We do with Beasley. We can also play him in the post Thus, helps us run our normal sets. It isnt small ball

    I dont think you guys know what our small ball offense means. Thats why your focus solely on the argument is 6'9 small or not. smh

    Statistically, DMo was a great defender at the 4 last year and a bad defender at the 5. Plus, he is bad rebounder for a big man. Don't like him as a 5.

    sure I can. You're saying his injury has nothing to do with his drop off from last year????

    ok, you're not worth discussing bball with.

    Don't worry about heypartner

    He's the same guy who during the offseason staunchly claimed McHale knows best and that Jones would be the starting pf this season. Mind you he repeated this like a broken record over and over again.

    Obviously it makes sense that when the rest of us are discussing D-Mo's mysterious 4 mins of playing time yesterday in which he looked like he was in last season's form that heypartner would be fixated on D-Mo's "decline."

    Yeah, it's pretty much par for the course for him. He should probably just avoid talking about the power forward position altogether because he can't help but be wrong every time he does.

    what? no I didnt. I'm pretty sure you're confusing me with someone else.

    Just laughable for you to say I repeated anything onnoxiously like posters like you. You affliction is called projecting yourself onto others

    And if would you mind looking at the first comment I was responding. Little Guy was not discussing the 5 minutes one Bit. (It was 5, not 4. btw)

    He was talking about how DMo would fare on another team next year and would likely return to his form of last yeat. I said maybe he's not performing this year at his level last year being of his injury vs blaming on the team and coach

    Do you not think that's plausible. Little Guy chose to change the subject away from my question

    you're so cute sometimes DudeWah in how you get things so wrong

    what's par for the course. put it in your own words buddy, because DudeWay's claim is false

    And btw, talking about the PF play this year is little about DMo. Hell, I dont really discuss it that much, because it's out weakest position

    Beasley is definitely in the discussion now. You seem to be behind on that vs my last post on prev page

    keep up. dude

    The narrative last time that it was JBB and not lingering back issues.... Maybe it's not that case this, maybe it is. However, it does follow the same pattern of DMo getting ~20 MPG then a drastic cutback.

    Those folks just got emotionally attached to players, logic doesn't work on them.

    According to JBB it was him and not back issues....and DMo played well when he was on the court.

    We just have to face the fact that the Rockets have the worst head coach in the NBA right now.

    Beasley at PF is playing small even though he's played PF his whole career. #AgendaCrew

    Actually he played primarily as a SF for more than half of his career and he's the size of a SF, but I wouldn't expect you to start being right about things now.

    He played PF for Miami his first two years but I wouldn't expect you to look that up.

    Beasley playing C is going small. Beasley playing PF is a normal lineup.

    Thing is - if you put in Chuck Hayes, is that considered small ball? He's short, right? I don't think the height of your PF is the absolute criterion for small ball. Small ball is about getting that quickness & outside shooting over power & rebounding at the 4. I don't think putting Beasley in qualifies as what I think of when I think of small ball.

    Basketball reference on Beasley positional breakdown:

    PF: 51%
    SF: 33%
    C: 16%

    Agenda crew making stuff up as usual. So clueless.

    Can't wait to quarantine them in the NBA forum once some team overpays for DMo

    In any case, it's pretty clear that Beasley hasn't spent his entire career at PF like you previously claimed. Also, for his career, basketball-reference does list most of his years as SF. So there's justification for saying that Beasley spent the majority of his career at SF.

    SMH child.....look at it per season and get back to me. There was 4 years of his career that he was primarily a SF......and he's the size of a SF.

    I know you're not very good at sports takes so I don't expect much, but you just keep embarrassing yourself.
