Erik Spoelstra has limited Michael Beasley to 18, 15, and 13 minutes over the past three games.

"What I see is improvement, I really do. I see great improvement in Michael in the last few weeks," he said. "He's having some very good back-to-back, consecutive practices now, where he's focused, he's ahead of the play. He sees it. And in games, you also start to see it for stretches, where it's getting more consistent."

Spoelstra insists he still believes in Beasley.

"He's really ahead of schedule if you compare him to other four-men that have come in at a really young age," he said. "He's ahead of the curve."
