On the real there's absolutely no way we could beat a healthy Cavs squad in a series.
No how about we attempt to stop the countless 12-0 runs teams go on us for....theyWe took a 1pt lead with like Minute left...you wanted us to start hacking there?
You wanted the Miami Heat to not rely on their defense?
well shyt, we're better defensively without hassan....lets just bench his ass the whole game then........and why do you just choose to look at defense?....why not look at the whole picture?.....hassan is 8th in the league in PER.....that's overall impact....not just one side of the court. the next best on our team is chris bosh, and he's 27. wade isn't even in the top 30. and that's pretty shocking considering wade is ALWAYS in the top 10 in PER. hassan is up there with the likes of steph curry, lebron, russel westbrook, and kevin durant. again....this is overall impact. so I could give a fukk if we give up a few extra points with hassan in the game. because overall we're much more dangerous with hassan on the floor. we don't even gotta look at stats, we can watch the game and see it clear as day. the main problem with those defensive numbers with hassan on/off the floor is that it's not all on hassan. it's on the entire team. when hassan is out there they expect him to do EVERYTHING....block shots, get rebounds, weak side help. when he's off the floor, they know they actually have to D the fukk up. loul deng and josh mcroberts admitted to this a couple weeks ago. that when hassan off the floor their whole attitude changes. they close out on guards and play more aggressive, but when he's out there they tend to gamble more because they know hassan is there to bail em out.
EDIT: found it.....
“It helps to have Whiteside there behind you. That’s kind of the safety. You know you can gamble a little bit and he’s right there behind you. You don’t have to foul, and you can kind of get a little bit out of position.” - Josh McRoberts
“When we go with a smaller lineup, you see more trapping. We’re playing faster. When Hassan is in the game, we want to take away the jump shots and kind of force guys to drive into him.”- Loul Deng
So, maybe that contributes to the defensive numbers getting worse with Whiteside on the floor. Maybe Heat players see the flashy denials behind them and overestimate the help they have in Whiteside. Maybe they’re putting just a bit too much of the burden on him.
and that last sentence is right on the money. these guys need to keep up that intensity when hassan is on the floor and stop expecting him to clean up everybody's mess. when you got guys admitting they purposely gamble and get out of position because hassan is behind them, that's a team issue, not a hassan issue. but regardless of the the defensive numbers, hassan impacts the game more than anybody on our team. that's undeniable. it's a very real possibility that hassan could be the only guy on the team to be an all star this season. and truthfully, nobody else deserves it more than him
Gibson is still good tho.
Plus both of them are better then McBob. 
If you wanna turn this into some type of genius chess move by spo, that's on you
......all I see is spo being forced to swallow his pride and hassan performing exactly like we knew he could....not on a hunch, but because we've actually seen him do it before. This change happened immediately after he benched hassan vs the raptors and they ran layups drills on us to an easy victory, Leaving heat and raps fans completely baffled to his stupidity. But shyt, better late than never I guess. Convicing spo to use some common sense hasn't been easy.
Gibson is still good tho.

The Heat announces that Josh McRoberts is out again tomorrow and Tyler Johnson & Goran Dragic are game-time decisions.
trade for Big men, when the league is trending smaller brehs. besides, They want a wing. not giving up Deng or Winslow for any of those guys. Noah is a shell of himself, Pau is good every so often. Taj is so overrated. nah.Joakim Noah Trade Rumors: Latest News, Rumors and Speculation on Bulls Center | Bleacher Report
Riley, your move. McBob seems to be done with that knee injury.

But when it comes to using intelligence and instincts to deter opponents, Whiteside has struggled. Sometimes, he's glued to no-man's land and out of position.

Other times, he's just slow to react.

Opponents are shooting just 45 percent on shots he defends at the rim, per NBA.com. That's a great number. The problem is that Whiteside, whether due to inexperience, concentration or disinclination, often fails to get to the spots where he can actually challenge shooters.
Exactly, that's just piss poor man defense from Bosh.
fukk are you even talking about?
