    I know Wade and Bosh have tried imparting their wisdom... Hadn't really done him much good.

    Listen to Whiteside quotes. Literally all he talks about are stats cause that's all he cares about. Seems like the guy that would be happy putty g up 25/15 on a 10 win team.

    Would he play like this if he was paid a massive guaranteed contract?

    Are Wade and Bosh resting tonight, or are they hurt? This game would be so much different if they were playing.

    Wow 14-0. Keep it up! Would be a hell of a benefit if we can blow this open in the third and rest everybody for these 4 games in 5 nights.

    Wow. While I'm not complaining, I also acknowledge that this game would be far different if they were playing.

    But again...I'm loving a 17 point lead at half time.

    Honestly does anybody care if Meyers comes back? We don't miss him at all. He's not really needed in my opinion and I'm sure his asking price will be stupid. It's cool he loves Portland and the fans so much but he never proved anything. Just stretches of games where he played good but most games he does things that make me wanna rip my hair out. Let him go I say

    I just love how much we play above the rim with Harkless and Hendo in the game.

    It's a great question. Who knows? Many players do not live up to their big contract once it is signed so it is a legit concern with anyone you sign to big money.

    Completely agree. And draft a proper Big who's not afraid of contact and is smart in the paint....who can also handle the ball properly. Or throw some big money around in FA and see who bites.

    I REALLY want Okafor, but he's likely to go to Indiana, and I don't know if we could afford him anyways.

    Great audition by Whiteside in the first half. I'm sold.

    Whiteside has a shitload of blocks in the first half....and Miami gave up 59 points. Shows how important the stat is for D. Yes I would take him in fA.....just not the max

    Ha yeah; just an honest observation. Even if we get blown out in the playoffs this is how I wanna see my team play. Good defense; hustle, defense, not making stupid mistakes.

    I'd like to bring in Sullinger, he is really underrated.
