LOL yah because Bennett has SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much to do with Whtieside and Thompson.

TOTALLy a deflection. I mean thats obvious. The fact that you would even try and deny its a deflection is ridiculous.

Do you do as much research for your firm as you do Whiteside?

He owns you.
Keep trying to convince us though.
Its working so well.

Still waiting to find out when he was ‘nailed to the bench’

Worse, yet, Whiteside has provided no resistance on the interior. Opponents are shooting 68.9 percent at the rim against him, per Second Spectrum, the highest percentage against anyone who has played at least five games this year. The player next on that list? Whiteside’s backup in Portland, Skal Labissiere. The Blazers rank bottom 10 in points in the paint allowed and 29th in second-chance points allowed.


Defense around the rim
Don’t let Whiteside’s counting stats fool you, his block percentage is his second lowest in six years and half of what it was when he was at his peak. Now the key to rim protection isn’t just the shots you block, it’s the shots that you deter at the rim.

This is where Whiteside is struggling. He is ranked in the middle of the league when it comes to reducing opponents made field goals at the rim. This is below non rim protectors like Frank Kaminsky and Nikola Jokic. Even more concerning is the Blazers opponents this season have shot a better percentage while he is on the court.


Rebounding
Though it may seem like his rebounding numbers are great when you look at the box score, he has regressed from earlier years. One of Whiteside’s calling cards is élite rebounding, if he can’t provide this then he is a negative for an NBA team.

Through the first nine games he hasn’t managed to grab one rebound from a teammates free throw attempt. Though the Blazers are a strong free throw shooting team, both Mario Hezonja and Skal Labissiere have managed to grab rebounds from free throws.

Whiteside’s defensive rebounding has also dipped, in his best years he was in the top 5 percent of players when it came to defensive rebounding. This year he isn’t even in the top ten.

Sir Wigs-a-lot, ftw

dunno about the "sir" part, but he's DEFINITELY wiggin' out over a 3 year debate that he lost...

 

[Black Adam]

funny part is he's not even a Heat player anymore. yet WiggityWack wants to CONTINUALLY troll Heat fans over the guy. after getting flat-out SMOKED by TurnUp's poll him AND Whiteside own space in Wiggy's brain...

he SHOULD let it go, but he won't...

TT v. Whiteside

In the words of Walter White



"Its over. I won."

 

[Shanemansj13]

Would love to see what they said after that game. Hassan was amazing in the 2nd half

Maybe so, didn't watch the game but consistency is the issue. That's exactly what they mentioned. If you are getting paid $25M/year...you can't give us 1 out of 4. We need 3 out of 4.

But with Whiteside it is more about stats..it's about effort, limiting his mistakes and bad shot selection. With his talent and size there is no reason he shouldn't be getting 17 and 10 every night like Kenny said he was doing 5 years ago.

whiteside has the athleticism that few people in the world possess yet his defense at the rim has been the worst in the elague thus far this season.

teams see him in the middle on defense and go right at him since he is just a plain bad nba player.

14 & 13 is extremely close to 17 & 10.

Expecting 17 from a player who doesn't get plays called for him is a bit much

what about letting guys score at the rim like they are going through a turnstile?

I wouldn't care about stats with him though...I just want him to do the little things for a team like Portland. He isn't doing those things and I think that is contributing to the bad start. McCollum isn't playing as good but there defense seems particular worse this year...lack of bigs and depth doesn't help either. It is definitely a collection of things...pretty weird considering Lillard has been in MVP form.

Yet you won’t bet on who gets the better contract this summer.

he is an awful awful defensive player and not a good offensive player

he is bad on both sides of the court.

Injuries playing a big part. The offseason acquisitions were bad. You dont totally try and change most of the team after making a WCF

Kenny Smith asked, “Do you think Whiteside knows what his strengths are.”

“Yeah,” countered Barkley, “going to the bank twice a month. That’s his strength. ... Stealing money.”

Portland has a lot of new players.
Why are they expected to be clicking on all cylinders at the start of the season?

I wish I could legally steal 25M/year.
Glad Barkley is your source for news and opinions.
Iv’e always thought he and his countless wrong predictions were comical.
Just got home.
Game starting.
