Didn't watch the game. How did the ghost of Michael Beasley

[midnightpulp]

go off on the supposed defensive dominance of "Wing Stop?"


Side note: Manure and House were 1-9 for 3 points, but I'm sure the usual suspects are already spinning it as Parker's fault. :lol

Beasely abused Green...

[loveforthegame]

Green was bent over by Beasley.

[Cklbmk]

I think a place like the bucks is perfect for him to be focused

[Robz4000]

Pop lost them the game. Might not even be a top 5 coach in the league anymore tbh; never seen a coach micromanage his team to a loss more than Pop.

[TheGreatYacht]

D-League Danny.

His pumpers will tell you about his 3 in the fourth, and will forget about the open 3 he gave to Brogdon on the next play

[TimDunkem]

Green got bent over by everyone he went against, tbh. He doesn't match up well against bigger guards/forwards.

[midnightpulp]

Beasely abused Green...

Not surprised.

This is why I no longer take RPM seriously. It ranks D-League as an above average defender, but 82games.com (a far superior statistical resource than ESPiN's magic metric) shows in hard numbers that D-League has been getting beat by his counterparts all season. Opposing SGs are averaging 25ppg per 48 against him for a 17.4 PER to his 13.9ppg per 48/13 PER.

When D-League had his big contract year season, he was holding opposing SGs to a 13 overall PER.

[Nathan89]

Green was abused as stated by others.

Patty continues to shit the bed.

[Arcadian]

Manu and Mills were a dumpster fire.

What good is a shooting guard who can't shoot?

[james evans]

Killing danny green. It was to the point that Green was afraid to guard him. At one point, he didn't even try to fight thru the screen. He gladly let Gasol switch. Green got fucked up tonight. Then he went cold in the 2nd half. Missed about 5 open jumpers in a row before finally hitting an open 3

I don't see how Green can go from effectively guarding Lebron in the finals to getting cucked by Michael Beasley.

[RD2191]

He was murdering green tbh. Kawhi blocked one of his shots and had a steal or 2 off of him iirc. Beasley also missed a few with Kawhi on him.

[elemento]

Only Leonard was able to guard him.

Pop tried Simmons and DG and It didn't work at all. He abused both.

Book is out on him. Players have adjusted, so he's no longer a "no name" who can sneak up on opponents with his offense/defense.

And Pop put Kawhi on Beasly just 2 minutes in the whole game. Well done, Pop

[cd98]

They should have put Anderson on him and had scrub vs scrub cancel each other out.

Yes and one play resulted in a Kawhi block and Beasley either missed or gave up and passed the ball away.

Call me crazy but maybe Kyle size would bother Beasly? I mean, at least he couldn't have been worse than Simms and Danny on defense tonight

Yeah, would've liked to see Fathead on Beasley when it became apparent Green couldn't handle him. Offense prolly would've gone to shit though.

[sananspursfan21]

Beasley was an enigma but these Bucks will give anyone a run for their money. Our guys have been blowing teams out of the water lately, everybody relax

[cjw]

In a playoff game, Pop manages that differently but was experimenting tonight given lineups. Milwaukee is a tough team to guard given size and this was without Giannis in the second half. Green SHOULD get manhandled by Beasley; he's 6'10" and 235.

Almost felt like flashbacks to game 5 of 2014 when Beasley was the only guy on the Heat bench who could score.

More fair question is given what a corpse DRose has become, which of the two guys picked 1-2 would you rather want from here onwards? I'd almost have to lean Beasley.

Middleton also killed Danny/Simmons in the post last season.:lol

[playbonner15]

Almost all his jumpers went in and he backed down anyone who guarded him on the low post (mostly Green)

These oversized athletic players are a problem for the Spurs. Don't have enough athletic players to guard them. Beasley has always been a problem for the Spurs.

:lol

[NameLess Scrub]

Couldn't watch the game. Why in the world was Danny Green guarding Michael Beasly?

Why didn't LaMarcus play? Did he surpassed allowed monthly stats in the past weeks?

[$pursDynasty]

is Beasley, a Blake Griffin type player, 6'10" athletic type sf/pf type that is the Spurs Achilles heel defensively? we seemed to have the same inability to stop him, that we typically have with containing Blake.

Bucks are a super long team, I think they were running Beasley at the 2/3 all night.

Meh, even in title years we would routinely give up 20+ points to players that were half a step away from the D-League.

Random scrubs have always gotten hot against the Spurs.

That's insane.. wish we had someone to burn a a big SF/PF playing out of position like that.

Agreed. Might be by design mostly, though I don't appreciate losing games to that :lol

[SpursIndonesia]

That might actually work, the help defense will be more alert in providing help since they know Fathead is slow & laterally challenged, and Anderson added length/strength + better rebounding will be more beneficial in a physical clash with Beastley.

[cd98]

I like the Bucks idea of rostering several small forwards that can shoot, dribble, and mostly defend. They effectively used Beasley against the smaller Spurs defenders. I still think Pop could have used Anderson on one of the two bigs. Yes, he sucks and yes, he will miss layups, but he did at least show he could play defense and Beasley was using his size on Green and Simmons and his veteran know how on Betrans. I think Anderson might have been able to at least slow him down given that Beasley, at the heart of it, is a scrub and shouldn't score 28 points against a good defensive team like the Spurs.

[Leetonidas]

Can't believe Pop never tried Anderson on Beasley...seemed the obvious move when Beas was getting hot

[SAGirl]

Only Leonard was able to guard him.

He's too big IMO.. Dude is a legit forward at least 6'9-6'10 and gifted offensively... the only reason he made it this far with so many issues..!
