Agreed. I went to the game and watched Beasley work us over. In this particular situation, playing PPatt would have been a good move. He's too strong for Chandler, and obviously too big for Clee and Bud. We had no choice but to put PPatt on him and I never saw it happen. Very disappointing game, but hats off to the Timberwolves. They are deep, they are young, they have a superstar, as well as a legit PG who's only going to get better.
It wasnt even quick enough last year to defend the 3, let alone this year where he looks like a 33 year old moving around.
PPat Patterson does not have near enough footspeed to be a 3, it was not really Parsons that got lit up as much as lee and bud.
Once Beasley got going like that, there was no one on our roster that could stop him. What I would have like to see was to funnel Beasley into our help defense. It was like what Lowry and Lee said, at that point it needed to be a team effort because Beas was just too hot to stop 1on1.
Beasley realized his potential in last night's game. If his head was on straight, he could be a dominant scorer in the NBA. No one could have stopped him last night... He is a matchup nightmare...
Being one of the best defenders in the league, Chase really couldnt do anything last night against Beasley... Oh wait....
At this point, what is Williams? Is he a 3? Is he a 4? I can't see him being effective as a 4. He's too small. But haven't seen anything out of him at the 3 either. What you think?
