Dwyane Wade Hit Michael Beasley in Effort to Help Him

During Saturday’s win versus Atlanta, Dwyane Wade delievered a little shot to Michael Beasley’s chest. The punch (if you can call it that) jumpstarted Beasley, who went on to score 14 of his 22 in the fourth quarter. Yestetday, Wade explained his motiviation behind hitting Beasley.

According to the Miami Herald: “‘The main thing, of course, was the punch in the chest made headlines,’ Wade said of the blow he hopes still stings Beasley entering tonight’s game at Charlotte. ‘But the main thing that hit home with Michael is that I said, ‘I need you.’ I need him. Hearing me say that really set home for him. We really all need Michael to be a player. That’s what he’s gotta start doing.’” … “‘Hopefully, he gets it,’ Wade said. ‘If he don’t, we’ll still try to make him get it, because we believe in him. If we didn’t, we wouldn’t try to say nothing to him. But we’re on him because we know how much potential he has. I can’t keep (punching him), because one time, he’s going to hit me back. Y’all seen his hands?’”

    Good…..and while he’s in throwing hands mode, he should tap Spo in the head about 12 or 13 times during the end of 4th quarters.

    Wade has that kind of clout, and Maybe one day Beasley will too.

    I thought The Philosopher was going to make a play on the word clout, but he didnt and now i’m disappointed, all the other ones before were good. I miss the old Slamonline :(

    thank rusty & Nick….. anybody see Channing Frye and Earl Watson get into it??? Ive never thought of Frye as a “tough guy”.. But he decides to go after a pointy eared p.g. wow.

    If Wade NEEDS Beasley then he should tell coach to play him more. How is he supposed to “BEAST” when he only gets like…20mins a game. And not only that, the coach won’t even let him touch the court in the 4th quarter.

    Boss Terry, right between the eyes!!!

  • Hoopistani Posted: Mar.11 at 4:24 am
    beasley only gets “like 20 mins a game” cuz he tends to fade out of games and gives no effort defensively in the time he gets. start playing better D and he’ll start getting minutes

  • Lazarus Posted: Mar.11 at 5:20 am
    beasley isnt even a horrible defender. if spos as$ was fired or be ezy was traded he would average near 30ppg next year. puttin that out ther.

  • foolio_iglesias Posted: Mar.11 at 8:22 am
    Good thing Rodney Stuckey isn’t his teammate.

  • Jeff Henderson Posted: Mar.11 at 11:50 am
    Yet another hit to Tito Jackson’s career.

  • GametimeWeezy Posted: Mar.11 at 3:42 pm
    Beasleys the type of player who probably coulda used a couple more years in college. Except for his smooth jumper, he really hasnt shown me nothin. def not the beast he was in highschool or college. Step ya game up homie!

    Whatever Wade did, he didnt do it hard enough……..(thats what she said!)
