Not for long. Your FRANCHISE is GARBAGE forever.

Could be....

So much for that 50 win season and 2 seed in the east

who ever predicted that? Certainly not me. I had us around .500.

Well most teams have to fight opposing centers and other good rebounders on their team for their rebounds whiteface only has to worry about 1 of those problems

Thus the inflated rebounding numbers

Can't the same be said about Love?

He led the NBA in boards until he played next to Pek.

We also see how his numbers are down playing next to Tristan.

But, we all know Kevin can dominate the boards if he needs to.

You are just making lame excuses to discredit this kid.

 

[Mecca]

Yeah 14 rebounds in less than 6 minutes isn't impressive. Most teams don't even grab 14 rebounds within the first 6 minutes of any quarter. Amazing how the Cavs fans are the only making ridiculous excuses for Whiteside rebounding. I guess Tyson Chandler is now some terrible center who is a poor rebounder.....Only possible excuse for Whiteside grabbing 24 rebounds in under 30 minutes of action right? I love the way you act like the heat were the only team trying to rebound....I'm sure Dallas never wanted to rebound last night

Using his logic, DeAndre Jordan is also a Turd-Bird because Blake and all the other Clippers are allergic to rebounding.

 

[DJ]

The rebounding is not impressive...who rebounds on the heat..they haveno rebounding bigs and hey someone has to get the ball

Blocks and points i would read into more...

 

[DJ]

8.6ppg, 7.6rpg, and 2.4bpg in just 17.6 mpg is impressive.

Regardless what haters say.

No you're sad because you say you dont want to hear about a 8/7 guy on a garbage team, then you keep posting on the only thread on this site about an 8/7 guy on a garbage team.

His numbers as a starter are much better

20, 9, & 3 for Hassan today.

 

[WiggyRuss]

keep up the lame excuses.

You & Wiggy are sad

give me a break- on post 181 this is what i said about it

thats insane....2 games ago i wondered if he was for real- then he had the 16 reboudn performance a couple night ago and then doing this tonight- he is certainly doing everything he can to prove he is not a fluke. I saw someone say that he is the Jeremy Linn of big men with how he has just come on the scene and i think thats pretty damn appropriate....good for him!


at least try and be fair.....

and the test for him will be whether he can do this for more than just a little over a month.

If he does there is no reason why the Heat should be the worst rebounding team inthe league as they have been.

I just read a big article on Whiteside and his history at that 4 letter network and it was pretty good...

an excerpt.


We're talking about the most treasured prize in the sport -- an athletic 7-footer who can finish alley-oops, rebound and block shots at an elite level -- slipping through the cracks. No NBA team wanted him.


Labels like "immature" and "low basketball IQ" kept him from being taken seriously. There were rumored D-League fights that tarnished his résumé. Whiteside was forced to do two stints in China. There, he told ESPN Radio, he ate pig lungs thinking it was a ribeye steak. Whiteside went to Lebanon -- not once but twice -- to play professionally and try to get his career back on track. There, he witnessed a car bomb explode.

Now he's an overnight sensation on the level of "Linsanity." On Sunday, Whiteside blocked 12 shots in a rousing triple-double performance in 25 minutes against Chicago. A week earlier, he hung 23 points and 16 rebounds on the Los Angeles Clippers in their building, becoming the only player besides DeMarcus Cousins and Kevin Love to do that in the last five seasons.

Too bad we didn't find him at this point last season.
The whole dynamic of the Finals and off season MIGHT have went down totally different.

Problem is that Riley was too busy trying to "catch lightning in a bottle" with Greg Oden at that time.

Looks like the kid grew up taking the path less traveled.

Lightning in a bottle?
How about adding a potential difference maker for a veteran minimum salary aka nothing to lose because there was nothing better available.


Now, on the other hand, how's that Hibbert max salary working out for you guys?

You're window for winning was ENDED by the Heat the last 2 seasons, in spite of Oden being a non factor.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Does Whiteside remind anyone else of a healthy Bynum was?

 

[DJ]

This kid is putting up some kind of numbers, 16 and 14 halfway through the 3rd quarter.

Kind of similar, good comparison.

 

[bksballer89]

22 & 17 now.

Kid is amazing

 

[bksballer89]

Another disappointing result tonight but Hassan is legit.

24,20, & 3
