    So far so good. I know Dame hasn't sat and we haven't even sniffed the third quarter but a double digit lead never sucks.

    Whiteside is so damn slow to react. Reminds me of Meyers.

    Is Whiteside hurt or something? I know he's not great in space but good god he's literally a statue out there today.

    I think I would rather have Jaylen Hoard out there right now over Whiteside.

    Whiteside still dealing with hip strain I bet... nurk is our only healthy big man. Crazy to think...

    Yeah but if we had both we would have 4 fouls to use in the first quarter between the two of them versus just 2 for Wenyen.

    I can definitely see what miami meant about Whiteside with his effort now. Dude looks like he hasn’t ate all day the way he plays
