Lol no minutes for McTrash. Not sure why Spo doesn't start James Johnson. 30 minutes. Clear it's who he trusts at the 4 but I guess he wants him to be the production from our bench (besides TJ)

Though their shooting has been erratic, don’t overlook this about two Heat newcomers: James Johnson entered the weekend holding the player he’s guarding to 27.7 percent shooting, best among all qualifying NBA forwards.
Dion Waiters is holding the player he’s guarding to 36.4 percent, second best among all starting shooting guards (behind only Detroit’s Kentavious Caldwell-Pope).
Incidentally, Hassan Whiteside ranks second-best among starting centers in that category, holding the player he’s defending to 37.5 percent, behind only Indiana’s Myles Turner.
• Courtesy Elias this morning: When Whiteside scored 18 points and secured 18 rebounds in Miami's win in Washington on Saturday night, it was the tenth time in his NBA career that Whiteside had that many points and rebounds in a game. The only player in Heat history with that many games with at least 18 points and 18 rebounds is Rony Seikaly, who had 21 such games for the Heat.
Whiteside's 194 rebounds in 13 games this season is the most for any Heat player in his first 13 games of a season in franchise history. The only NBA player over the last five seasons with that many rebounds in his first 13 games of a season was Andre Dummond last season (232).

Yeah well I know Winslow's defense has either regressed or its not as good as people made it seem last year..
But uh I'm glad the defense is really decent otherwise we would get blown out on the regular. Idk if it's still like this but we still give up more points than we score
Seikaly was a beast though nobody gonna break his single game rebound record

Probably regressed since he has more responsibility on offense which isn't a valid excuse cause that doesn't stop players like Jimmy or Kawhi

Thats true.. I gotta be patient though George aint take off until year 3, jimmy not until year 3, and kawhi was solid out the gate unlike the others but didnt take off until year 4 because spurs if you omit the finals in year 3
Those three all could shoot decent fresh out the draft but their D was just better then their offense the first few years. Winslow's D is better by default but ima lay off him until next year. But at the same time look at this
george -10th pick
kawhi - 15th pick
butler - 30th pick
winslow -10th pick
So Idk

If it's Wednesday, it must be Andre Drummond. Because on Monday it was Joel Embiid and Jahlil Okafor. And on Friday and Saturday it will be Marc Gasol. Which leaves Hassan Whiteside a bit confused by those who had contended that quality centers somehow going extinct in the NBA.
"I don't know who 'they' are. 'They' don't watch basketball if it's not centers. I don't have a day off at the center position," Whiteside said, as the Miami Heat turned their attention to Wednesday night's game against Drummond and the Detroit Pistons, the third stop on this four-game trip.
Even Embiid at the end of the game was talking about how we're bringing back the centers," said Whiteside, who added 13 rebounds in the loss that snapped the Heat's twp-game winning streak and dropped them to 4-9. "And when you hear it from the players, they're saying it, Embiid saying it, I don't know who 'they' are, But they must not watch basketball, because every night I've got Dwight [Howard], Drummond, [DeMarcus] Cousins. I got a really good center every night. So I don't know where these nights off are happening."

Hassan has gotten so much better as a one-on-one defender," he said. "He always had been a great help, impact shot-blocking defender [off the ball]. Now he's really becoming elite one on one."
Which he sort of has to be, with the challenges in the middle becoming unrelenting, already this season having gone against the likes of Nikola Vucevic, Pau Gasol, Cousins, Jonas Valanciunas, Steven Adams, Rudy Gobert, Howard and Marcin Gortat. And now it's on to Drummond and then consecutive games against Marc Gasol, when the Heat close out this trip Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies and then play the Grizzles again on Saturday night at AmericanAirlines Arena.
That led to a bit of on-court analysis Monday night with Embiid.
"He was just talking about bringing back the center position, how many great center there are and how well as I was playing," Whiteside said. "I'm totally with him. There's so many good centers, even Okafor coming off the bench. I might say maybe two teams don't have a really good center, maybe. But every other team has a really good center. I just played against Gortat, who is really good."
Embiid confirmed their conversation during his postgame session with the Philadelphia media.
"Around the league there's a lot of young big men, and I think we're starting to come back," Embiid said. "So one thing I told him is, 'Keep killing it.' As big men, we all want each other to do good. I've always studied him in the past. It's always been a big-man league, so I want it to stay like that."

Had it not been for Monday's five fouls, Whiteside believes he could have offered even more.
"Some people always ask me who the toughest guys are to guard," he said. "I say, 'Who are the refs?' That's what it comes down to. The refs control the game.
"Even the block I had on Okafor, the ref came back and told me it wasn't a foul. Like, 'OK, so let's get it right.' "
Spoelstra felt it was important to manage Whiteside's fouls, which also meant Whiteside playing just 33 minutes.
"He's getting a lot better playing in foul trouble," Spoelstra said. "It happens. I was taking him out, anyway, in the first quarter. He was able to play all the way through the second, all the way through the third, and got a couple of tough calls that may or may not have been real heavy-contact fouls. But he's getting much better with that."
Whiteside would like to see the trust from Spoelstra extended further.
"I don't know, man. I talk to him. I talk to him," he said. "And one day he's going to trust me with five fouls, one day. So it's frustrating."
