Whiteside Is Going to Be Good

[str8line]

We didn't need that to counter a 5 out lineup. We needed 1.5 things. The 0.5 is better perimeter defense. The 1 thing is Quin being willing to go at the rim and give the ball to Gobert, et al when they are being covered by a smaller defender. 5 out lineups should be a dunk-fest until they are forced to bring in their big players again. But Quin is having none of that. That isn't the plan. Can't deviate from the plan just because we, you know, have an excellent opportunity to exploit a huge mismatch and get the highest-percentage shot in basketball over and over again.

Might help when Forrest, Paschall, Butler and Royce drive and dish. If last night is any indication Dok and Hassan are going to get more touches, the system be damned.

I'm convinced Ryan Smith is throwing Hassan money under the table.

"If you get 15 rebounds tonight I'll pay you $300, 000."

If we get this Whiteside for the rest of the year, championship will be inbound!
