My favorite part of the game was how Whiteside was able to completely turn the tables on Harrel who beat him with quickness early on.

Find me a more thorough track-record of a “superstar” making their teams worse than him.

late response and don't know if anyone else has said the same in response but Melo.

I'm loving Whiteside. He's kicking *** and having fun.

I was watching the Wizards feed for this one, and one of their broadcasters was talking about the "heavyweight tag team matchup" between Montrez Harrell/ Daniel Gafford and Gobert/Whiteside. The other broadcaster, Drew Gooden, said "I got my money on Gafford and Montrez. You look at the numbers, and the numbers don't lie"

Flash forward to the end of the game:

Gobert/Whiteside: 38 points, 25 boards, 5 blocks, 17/19 FGs
Harrell/Gafford: 23 points, 16 boards, 1 block, 10/14 FGs
Jazz win by 25

In Gooden's defense, I guess, I don't know what the stats were exactly in the middle of the 3rd when he said this. But on the other hand, who in their right mind other than a massive homer would pick the Wizards two over Gobert and even a bum off the street, let alone Whiteside, who is proving to be an extremely competent backup. Still, I thought it was hilarious.

Simmons ROY jokes will never get old.

Eh, sometimes melo just kind of doesn't do anything.

Simmons ROY jokes will never get old.

The things that won’t get old will be the jokes and his competition for ROY. The things that will get old will be himself.
