NBA: Thursday game thread

This niqqer is everywhere

Fantastic, I love it, though I haven't checked out the compe ion like draftkings

I haven't watched Miami practically at all, do you know how long Whiteside has been getting minutes?

[Splits]

Get the pedo outta there and give Whiteside some more burn

[Splits]

God the Heat half court offense is ing awful.

[Spur-Addict]

Just checked the stats, he had 5 blocks last game. Didn't start getting decent minutes until basically the new year. I wonder if McBob is healthy. Haslem is a nice bench big.

Batum looks so bad, tbh..

French NBA players have fallen off hard this season..Parker, Batum, Noah and Diaw..ugh..France should honor Rudy Gobert, he's the only showing any pride for them this season..

McBob is out for the season. And Haslem is done. No lift... blocked by the rim regularly.

Haven't watched either but a quick stat check shows the past 5 games and last game put up 11/10 with 5 blocks which is huge for his cost on fanduel

Lilliard butthurt

Diaw is coasting, not regressing imo.

Also, Lillard hurt?

So it's basically Anderson and Hamilton challenging him for minutes? Unless they're running a lot of small ball.

Probably, but you never know with Boris, unfortunately..

Heat fans are really high on Whiteside, tbh..he should be starting ahead of Anderson, but knowing Spoelstra and Riley's tendency to keep young players on the bench, it's probably holding him back..

Why Gobert is not playing 30 min per game is a mystery. Jazz are going nowhere and his upside is huge. Snyder is a dumb

He was trash with Sacto. Immature, and didn't have an NBA body. Potential though. Nice to see him back in the league. Freakish wingspan. Yeah, you're probably right. He'll probably hover in the 20-25 mpg range sadly. If he gets around 27 mpg I'd probably pick him up in fantasy with the efficiency he's showing.

I don't think he's anything more than a potential good backup big, but Miami's frontcourt is extremely bad outside of Bosh..35-year old Birdman shouldn't be starting in the NBA..

That's exactly why I'd pick him up. And with Wade and Bosh feeding him freebies, and catching rebounds off the glass within a foot and a half of the basket, his FG% should remain high. Probably nab a block per game. On top of a double-double, not bad for an end bench spot. Only concern being FT%

The NBA getting incredibly rich recently has served to make their product that much worse. They feel untouchable now.

[Robz4000]

Well this one got out of hand quickly...

[D-Wade]

Hasan Whiteside trending on twitter and yet Spo still won't play him. What a joke.

[Legacy]

Oh, and TNT for showing this game...what the were they thinking? s

They probably showed it because of all the lovely press Josh Smith has been receiving.

[Malik Hairston]

Whiteside completely destroying the Clippers ..
