    They will struggle with certain teams but they're also gonna cause a helluva lot of problems for others. I'm with it

    Nice start for Whiteside!!
    6 points, 7 rebounds, 1 block

    and his best stat of all - 3 fouls drawn on Jokic.

    Collins and Whiteside are shutting down the paint!!

    Love the last play. Lillard had the better shot, but rewarded Whiteside.

    Honestly I think it will be our 2nd unit that surprises a lot of people this year. Everyone knows about our starters, but I expect the bench to come in and push this lead; and do that a lot this season!

    Remember when these garbage "experts" said we are going to be a bad Defense Team.

    Watching Whiteside is so weird..... he kinda just slowly moves around but it seems to work. Like that pass to Dame where he put it in seemed to happen in slow motion..... but it worked so I can't complain!

    I like there pushing the ball up this making Denver not be able to set there defense and players getting open. Also liken CJ attacking the basket.
