FTFY:

A Loss and an inability to play crunch time minutes because he is a liability at the FT Line bump.


LULZ lack of awareness bump

Well, at least we now know you didn't watch the game.

Whiteside was the major reason the Heat blew it.

I didn't watch but I can assure the game didn't come down to whiteside missing a few free throws. When you block 10 shots, the loss doesn't fall on you.

Wiggins and the MIN guards took over the 4th. Had nothing to do with Whiteside.

Yeah. When a guy shoots 71% from the field for 22 pts 14 boards and 10 blocks the loss isn't on him. Wade and Winslow had 11 turnovers. And the rest of the team shot 40% from the field.

I did watch the game, and it had *everything* to do with Whiteside.

He was simply brutal from the FT line-- 2 of 9, and 1 of 5 in the 4th quarter. They pulled him a couple of times, for both rests and to keep him from having to shoot FT. When he was out, Minnesota got to the rim much better, and outrebounded the Heat-- which gave their offense much of the success that Whiteside helped deny them through 3 quarters.

Oh-- and during the last stretch he sat 3:30 to 2:04, the Heat secured one rebound and allowed 3 shots within 5 feet of the hoop. Towns hit the offensive glass, and Minnesota shut out the Heat.

So, yeah, that loss is mostly on Hassan Whiteside. They wouldn't have been in position to win without him, but they couldn't play him when it came down to crunch time.

Being the best means not being a liability in that situation.

the heat lead could have been 15-20 going into the 4th and Minn would have never been in the game if Bosh and Wade came to play. They were bad.

Minn went on a 10-0 run to start the Quarter where miami didnt score for like 3min.

You are the one trying to sell him on being the best center in the league here; if these are big minutes, in a 5 point game, why isn't he on the court?

It isn't like they didn't give him multiple other 4th quarter breathers-- so freshness wasn't an issue, like it might be with under 4 and 2 substitutions normally.

Im not denying that he isn't a good foul shooter. Drummond isn't either, and there isnt a player in the league outside of Curry playing better than he is.



HW did his part to win the game.

the 4th Q lead wasn't lost due to him. the same way the game didnt suddenly slip away when they took him off the court.

His defense was the reason they were winning, so yeah the game did slip away when they took him off the court.

Minn went on a 10-0 or 10-2 run to start the quarter with HW on the court. Miami went like 3 min without scoring. Did you watch the game?

1. Andre Drummond 2. DeAndre Jordan 3. Tim Duncan 4. Rudy Gobert 5. Dwight Howard 6. Hassan Whiteside


Out of those 6, Duncan is the only one that can make ft. And at this point in there careers I would take Drummond, whiteside, gobert and then Jordan.

Who the frick cares? A great FT shooting center will score an extra 5 points over his performance from the line. And score 4 points less from the field. And block 8 less shots.

So the loss is on Whiteside? Yet, in the same paragraph you say this:
quote:

A player's performance in the last few minutes is the sole determining factor in regards to his contribution?

And here I thought games were 48 minutes long.
