Heat rookie forward Michael Beasley has been reduced to a spectator in the fourth quarter of recent games. He has started in the 12 games and is averaging 30.2 minutes, but he sat for much of the fourth quarter in four of the past five games. As the Heat mounted a 17-point, second-half comeback during a 101-95 loss to the Raptors on Wednesday, Beasley watched. ''If I was the coach, I would have stayed with that lineup, too,'' Beasley said. Spoelstra continues to require youngsters such as Beasley to be accountable defensively. Beasley's defense continues to lag behind his offensive skills, but Spoelstra is pleased with his improvement.

Reminds why he wasn't the first pick.
To see Beasly move his feet is like seeing Telfair dunking.
It isn't going to happen anytime soon.

I dont put all the blame on him though. In college he did what he wanted and no one complained. Hes still doing that and his coaches should break that habit. Cant just let him doze off on the bench anymore. Seeing less pt may be good for him...
