Very nice for the Heat to get 2 days off after the first 2 games.

But but but but....everyone else is going to be playing all of these games while the Cavs are rested.

And most importantly he is a terrible flopper. Would suggest he take up some acting classes this summer

I think Derek Fisher offers training in the off-season.

Cleveland
Raptors
Heat
Celtics

No real upsets here either. Celtics beating Atlanta would not be one.

Speaking of streaky. I love the streaked 17 in the back of his hair.
Truth be told, I really noticed him and how hard he plays during a Hawks game here last season when they rested all of their starters ( and still won).

He's a very hard worker. And still so young despite it being his third year in the league. Only 22 years old.

I'm glad there's more balance between the East and West now.

He did fall asleep.
He is to journalism what Wiggy is to SportsHoopla.

So all the Heat & Laker fans are obsessed with Windhorst also ?

I don't give a fuck about him, but I heard the clip where he fell asleep.
He DEF did.
Did you hear it?
When he woke up he rambled an answer to an unasked question.

Windhorst described how Whiteside was getting his lunch money stolen from him by Drummond the other night and how Spoelstra was forced to go to the bench to bring in Haslem because Whiteside had no clue how to guard a center in the post....obviously this kind of disparagement of the God Hassan makes him persona non-grata to any Heat fan.

Windhorst just reinforces what everyone has seen for a long time--- Whiteside is a great rim protector- slides over AMAZINGLY to get blocks....as an individual 1 on 1 defender against centers that have some footwork? hes still pretty clueless.

I really hope Al Jefferson is healthy. We will see a clinic in post footwork. Honoestly there are not many guys in the league id rather see whiteside try and guard on teh block then a crafty vet with footwork that Hakeem would give his stamp of approval on.

when he was drafted we heard the Rondo comparisons....and i still think taht is potentially a fair comp--- Schroeder obviously has a better shot (pretty much any guard breathing does)- but probably not QUITE the defensive upside...

I really like how the Hawks have developed Schroeder and have been patient with him etc....

If Whiteside walks away from the Heat will you say you always hated him & that Greg Oden was a better fit for Miami?

Oh no, not Greg "older" Oden!

 

[Wamu]

Oh no, not Greg "older" Oden!

Damn right! He's the starting C on my all NBA injury team.

NBA finals is exactly a month away

Boring Playoffs so far.

The east playoffs been really good. West has gone as expected except the Clippers injuries which ruined a huge 2nd round showdown

 

[purguy12]

Both conferences have sucked.

Both conferences have sucked.

I disagree. The east had a great first round. Only bad series out east been Cleveland/ Atlanta

Yes we disagree Big time, It was really bad. Like I said the only good thing about it was that there were game 7's but they were blow outs to. Nothing fun about these playoffs yet. Hopefully the conference Finals will be better.
I want to see Miami vs Cleveland and Spurs vs GS .

Miami and Charlotte produced some really good games. Atlanta and Boston did as well.
