With a bulky ice pack attached to a different body part after each game, Heat rookie Michael Beasley apparently is chilling in his transition to pro basketball.

The physical demands of the NBA -- even at a watered-down summer level -- are growing on Beasley, the second pick in last month's draft.

''Everybody wants to beat up on the rookie -- I mean everybody,'' Beasley said. ``It's a rough game. I think I've got more bruises and cuts these few games than in my whole basketball career. I got [ice packs] lined up in my [hotel] refrigerator, ready to go. [But] I'm always going to bang. I can always take a hit.''
