This guy can literally average 19+ a whole season. I think we have our future PF The ONE bright spot this season has been Beasley
Beasley is by far our 2nd best scorer. The gap between him and our 3rd best offensive player is larger than the gap between him and Harden. You can tell Harden trusts him to do something when he has the ball. He's actually the only guy Harden trusts. There are a few possessions in the 4th where Harden declined the ball and told them to pass it to Beasley.
I noticed that. I haven't seen that behavior out of harden since his OKC days. Here's to hoping Beasley is the real deal, and not just on a hoot streak.
I think Beasley is in the zone right now. He seems to not **** around on the court and only cares about winning. I see him trying hard to redeem himself I think harden/Durant/Beasley could be a big three on there own Why was Houston the only team that grabbed him from China. I get this feeling there has been a lot of behind closed door talks between harden/morey/Durant/ and Beasley
He's the only one that can create a reasonable shot on his own. His defense is still concerning to me. His on/off numbers aren't flattering at all (-9), nor his BPM (-4.0). I'm worried that he's our second best player. Obviously these team-level numbers are affected by the generally poor play of the Rockets, but they still should give some pause before anointing Beasley as the de facto second fiddle.
Not true... Chill bro, Harden has the mid-range + 3pt range + the unbelievable fast break ability + the handles. That's not even mentioning his other tools. Harden did what Beasley is doing for the Thunder and he did it better and won himself a 6th man of the year award. Beasley is playing great, but don't fool yourself.
Beastley. The name is Michael Beastley. It looks like we picked him up at the point in time when he is ready to put it all together. I sincerely hope so.
I mean at least let Beasly have the whole next year to try and win himself a 6'y award. I bet he does hand down.
Me too, check my post, I've been saying this exactly, but Harden is a world-class scorer. Beasley is not a better/more versatile scorer than Harden.
Beasely has been a nice surprise but can we please not turn this into Dmo 2.0 where we praise him as the second coming and of some sort star. He has been an effective scorer off the bench, nothing more, nothing less.
Beasley can score, but he doesn't get too the line or create assists. Really if he isn't hitting midrange shots he isn't doing much
So true, I bet it felt good to Harden to take a break on offense and actually play decent D late in the game. His worries dropped about 40% with Beas in the game. Plus limits Brewer's minutes on the floor to spell Harden or Ariza.
Getting to the line is one thing but I think he will get more assists once he gets half a season under his belt.
Beasley seems to have black mamba mentality this year. The only emotion I see from him on the court is anger when he misses or messes up, other than that he never looks satisfied. Seeing his best friend KD sign multi 100million dollar endorsements and all these max contracts going around today, I think he realizes all the years hes wasted in his career and now is laser focused on only basketball. I see him and harden becoming boys and hopefully shows harden that you can't waste your time at strip clubs every night before games. I could see hardens partying during playoffs really pissing off Beasley(who woulda ever imagined)
One sign to me of his maturity that I like is the rebounding. His ability to score has always been there. It's the other stuff or too much other stuff.
