Hassan Whiteside: Enforcer

[The Fresh Prince]

Cart before the horse here but I'd love if we extended him another 1-2 years.

48 minutes of Rudy/Whiteside at the 5 spot is a massive luxury.

Judging by his interviews he seems to love being here. Him and Rudy are like brothers. We're a family in Utah.

I think enforcer is the wrong word. He’s an irritant… he’s a bit of an *******… it’s something we’ve needed. We could still use another tough guy but that might be Paschall.

He threw Jamychal to the ground like a ragdoll a few plays before this. You want a guy to pull out MMA moves or do what Booker did to Hibbert? Lol that's asking for suspension.

I missed that but if he really threw him vs. Jamiriqui diving that's exciting.

Yeah that's what got Green pissed in the first place, and why he reacted to basically nothing. Whiteside treated him like absolute trash.

2:42 mark and I honestly think he did that another time and didn't get called for the foul. That's what I recall.

2:42 mark

I love that! I didn't even notice watching this in real time that he first just pushes MPJ out of the way(yeah, I know that dude is soft AF) and then just throws Green to the floor. It's good to have a pest, and especially one who's also a net positive as back up centre.

Virtual Insanity, what can you do?

So I had a dream last night. I was back in my youth and was a part of some friend/mentor program where you pair with a troubled youth. My friend was a super tall and lengthy black kid... we had a great time... he was hilarious. He had one moment where he was flipping out and at a driver and totally lost his cool... to the point he was opening the door while we were going 65 mph on the freeway. He calmed down and laughed it off. When I awoke I realized it was Whiteside all along... and there was only one set of footprints in the sand... mostly because he likely was giving me a piggy back ride... EAGLE!!!!!!!

Dude runs 65 mph in sand. Impressive. He’s the Sandman.

I think enforcer is the wrong word.

Yeah, enforcer is the wrong word. The correct word is thug.

Ooooh, he said "thug"! Bottom line is that is the precise word to describe Whiteside on the court. My Knicks in recent years have had a number of these thug-types -- Bobby Portis, one of the Morris twin psychos, Latrell Sprewell (a guy who choked his own coach)...believe me, these guys are not fun to have on your team. They are goons, thugs. Funny thing is, Spree, Morris, and Portis could actually be very good basketball players. But they concentrated too much of their game on being a thug. I've already seen highlights of Jazz games, the season is not even two weeks old and already Whiteside is concentrating on being a thug. Believe me, you will tire of his behavior soon.
