Why the hell is beasley startin over Haslem?Haslem is the better player,and very good defender,he has no business coming off the bench.

Well when they give an unproven sophomore "rookie" millions of dollars they dont want him to ride the bench.

So even if he does'nt play well,they will risk leaving him in,then lose the game?

I wouldnt think they would leave him in if he wasnt contributing.Im just saying the GM doesnt want to see his multi million dollar investment ride the pine.
