    Nothing wrong with having a guy who will get in Draymonds face lol. That’s why we brought these guys in.

    Love this guy's attitude. Stay ready bruh!

    Luke's gotta figure out how to make dude Bron's perma-sub...till the trade deadline at least.

    How is this thread not buzzing right now. With 10 points in less than 2 minutes (garbage minutes but who cares) Beas is the truth.

    See, he can be a useful spark off the bench. He can score and his 1-on-1 moves are still very good.

    Beasley is definitely making a contribution now. I guess he's been able to resolve whatever was happening with him off the court.

    I think I appreciate most of all how he’s been a total professional with his benching. I’m sure he didn’t come here to get DNP after DNP, but he’s reportedly been a great teammate. And with Rondo out and Lance being so-so for a few games, he’s gotten a shot, and he showed he can contribute. I don’t see him playing a ton this year, but most teams don’t go the entire year without injuries, so his opportunity will be there. Even if it doesn’t though we have been very good about trading or releasing guys that want to go join a team to play. In recent seasons though we were trading or releasing them to go to playoff teams, and at the moment we are in the playoff picture, so guys like Beas may no longer as out. If he does stick around, it’s a luxury to have a guy that can drop 20-30 points on a good night out of nowhere in reserve for us.

    He was the main reason for our comeback yesterday.

    I still don't think he made sense as a signing but he is instant offense and he was great last night early in the 2nd quarter when we came back.

    He was great yesterday, his attitude has also been great since he's arrived.

    Beasley is a better and more helpful player than Lance without a doubt .

    Luke is starting to understand it ( not necessarily the same position though)

    We can afford to play Beas now because we have Tyson to help protect the rim if he gets beat. Just adds more stress on the opposition having him scoring off the bench. Dude can get buckets.

    they're the same to me, Beas plays very little D, while Lance has his ball hog moments he does more than just score as oppose to beasley

    I've been rooting for Beas since he got here even though I thought he was a bit of a superfluous signing. I liked what I saw pre-season and it's a nice luxury to have him. I'd like to see more of him actually. It's great to have him at the 4 off the bench instead of Hart out of position! With Chandler here he doesn't have to play small ball 5 which is terrific.

    Besides his scoring, it was cool to see him dishing to Mo - too bad Mo couldn't convert, LOL. He'll get there. But that was pretty fun. Beas is way more unselfish than Lance and thus I enjoy watching him a lot more.

    Not just last game but he really gives that 2nd unit, even when Rondo comes back some real nice scoring firepower the last few games which I think is definitely needed. Lance is too inconsistent and I'm glad that Luke said in his post game presser that he wants to stick with Beasley moving forward for now.

    Our 2nd unit usually is pretty solid defensively with Tyson, Hart, and KCP. But scoring can come and go if the outside shot isn't hitting. Beasley can score in a variety of ways which is great. Keep it going Michael!

    Good to see he still has it and can get buckets in a moment's notice. Still think he won't get a lot of playing but he'll be available for when Lebron takes games off for rest.
