    He has not passed once. I don't know if I've seen a stranger player.

    Boy without Whiteside the Heat are down 15, maybe 20. I have a feeling the Lakers are going to shell out a bunch of money for that guy.

    Great job by the 2nd unit and it looks like Miami has no legs due to all the misses. Of course we are playing pretty good def.Look like Stotts resting Dame this quarter. That good coaching on that decision.

    He's talented but I don't know...

    Beggers can't be choosers if he commits to Portland I would probably take him. He's a max player in the NBA. Maybe Stotts can teach him how to pass.

    Some people note that Miami's defense is worse with Whiteside on the floor. Well from what I've seen, he completely dominated the paint and anything the Blazers scored while he was in there had NOTHING to do with him. Because the rest of the players around him are bench players or wet toilet paper on D does not take away from the fact he was blocking everything in sight, deterring other shots and causing TO's just due to his presence. 12 points, 6 rebounds and 4 blocks in the first half.

    UFA.....sign him.

    And this is off the bench. Imagine starter minutes. I don't know, I'm just high on him.

    You don't think Miami had tried to make him pass?

    I'm not talking about looking to pass. Whiteside doesn't even make the simple ones to run an offense.

    And people don't know how he would even play with a point guard like Lillard. In stotts system. We probably won't get him but I wish we would

    Miami's offense is heavy with ISOs and running off screens. Our offense uses the big high post for handoffs so, who knows?
