Michael Beasley, Still a Lovable Goofball

He is who we thought he was: “At times we don’t like it,’ said Heat guard Dwyane Wade. ‘At times we love it.’ Coach Erik Spoelstra said Beasley has yet to find the proper balance between working and play time. That might be a reason Spoelstra wouldn’t commit to starting Beasley tonight at Boston even after Beasley’s breakout performance during the Heat’s 93-87 loss to New Orleans on Tuesday night. ‘I like the spirit that he brings to the team because it’s a positive energy,’ Spoelstra said Thursday before the Heat departed for its game at Boston tonight. “But he has to continue to learn how to corral that and get focused when he steps between the lines and really come and compete.'”
