I'm all for keep Thad, but only as the first big off the bench. We need better size starting at the 4 in the mighty West.

Anybody feel like stopping Whiteside?

Fun game to watch. I'm still not a fan of Martin & Thad starting together. Martin starting kinda screws Wiggins too. I hope Bazz picks up where he left off so he can get back in the starting lineup. If anything else I'd rather see Thad start at SF with Dieng at PF.

Nice to win one! The heat with a major boo boo. What was cole thinking?!?

We won, so I'm not going to go nuts about this. But if that is going to be Andrew's role in this offense, I'm not going to bother to watch. WTF? Sure he didn't look very engaged, but can you blame him? Standing in the corner all night isn't the way this should work. 8 shots in 37 minutes is ridiculous for the future cornerstone.

Exactly.. Plus Wiggins needs to start a SG and not this BS where they act like Martin is playing SF lol.

Im with you cool. Wiggins should get more touches and play run for him. Im willing to give it time though. Having martin, pek and rubio coming back, thats 3 guys who need touches to be their most effective. Still, flip and rubio needs to get wiggins more involved. He earned it.

Meh. I'm just not on board with this notion that he needs to be spoon-fed shots. He needs to put on a pair of big-boy pants and make things happen out there. Part of development is learning how to impact the game without having the ball in your hands or plays run for you.

(by the way, the few opportunities they did run plays for him, he was defended extremely well or just short-armed his shot. I wish he got up as much for this kind of game as he does for Cleveland!)

Hassan Whiteside is the real deal. If he can maintain his focus and stay healthy, he is one hell of a story. I mean, seriously, he looks like a franchise Center.

Agree. He put up a 20-20 game and it looks easy and effortless. Nice touch around the rim and looks strong/coordinated/long and athletic. A bright spot for the heat and good complimentary center to bosh.
