Funky game. SAC was really disrupting the offense with their ball pressure. Whiteside played well and Forrest really stood out compared to Oni and Butler as well. Usually when we're -9 in Gobert's minutes it means we lost by 50 so I'll take the win. He really shut the door at the end of the game and that's what great players and teams do.

Anyone know how much longer is Rudy Gay out after his heel surgery?

I thought I read somewhere he will be back after the first of next year.

I noticed during shootaround at Halftime Rudy was having a talk with Hassan at the free throw line. Possibly giving him advice. The bond between these two is meshing very, very well. Gobert was the first to reach out to Hassan when he signed here, and they apparently are hanging out a lot during their downtime. I'm lovin It! There was a sequence when Rudy made a big play Whiteside was the first one celebrating off the bench. Then when Whiteside got an offensive board and got the putback Gobert was on the bench flexing. If Gobert motivates Whiteside to get back to his 2015 form we will be a very hard team to stop come playoff time. That's like having Bill Russell Jr with Wilt Jr. backing him up.

Ya i noticed a few moments throughout the game of good chemistry between the two.
Whiteside got called for a BS foul and got taken out of the game and when rudy was checking in and passing him on the court they had a little hug/back pat and i see rudy offering encouragement

Absolutely. We are going to need him to be the anchor on b2bs, so if he can replicate Rudys defensive effort in any sort of way when Gobert is having an off night, or tired it could be the deciding factor on 5-10 extra wins on the season.

And by 5-10 more extra wins, you mean playoff wins.

Man, that's like 6-7 months after the surgery. I reckon he'll come in knowing the playbook which is big; hopefully he acclimates quickly like Clarkson did after being traded here.

The only minor surgery is that done on someone else.

Maybe this is just what Whiteside has always needed. It’s the first time he’s played for a coach who is an evil genius.

The pre-game interview with Whiteside talking about how Quin scared him was comedy gold.

 

[str8line]

Forrest to the rescue. Hughes must really be impressing Quin in practice.

Forrest is legit.

Could Forrest turn out to be better than Butler?

Hassan: Coach Q got a Kama Sutra the size of a dictionary. I don’t know how he keeps all that in his head. He’s got a position for everything!

FIFY
