my prediction for silver medalists in Rio.
Because gobert said it huh? U nikkas have no real opinions until another man gives it to u. Go watch more basketball. The Heat are above .500 while the Jazz aren't. Tell gobert to play more team basketball so they can get over the hump.
The Jazz are at .500 now, and are 19-13 when Gobert plays, when he was out they went 7-13.
The Heat have more talent and are only 3 games above .500 when Whiteside plays.
Gobert has a clear impact on wins and losses and is the foundation of what the Jazz do on defense, he leads the league in opponent FG% at the rim yet again, Hassan is a interior conqueror? No, Rudy is Alexander, Hassan's no Alexander. He's the best interior defender in the league. There's never been anybody as ruthless. He's Ben Wallace, He's Dikembe Mutumbo. There's no one like him. He's from their cloth. There's no one that can match him defensively. His style is impetuous, his interior defense is impregnable, and he's just ferocious. He wants your heart. He wants to eat his children. Praise be to Post Allah.

Did you even watch the game? Who is this Deng guy ?
Anyway the days of underating players because they don't play in the NBA are long gone breh, that's talk from the 90s. You act like Spain was three players
spain is motherfukker they didnt even have juan navarro and still won... are you gonna debate it or just act like a bytch with no basis on your side. Tony Parker and Batum with a center should be able to wash Spanish midgets and Pau Gasol ... Im sorry if you are spanish or whatever happened to you. Asking me if I watched the shyt... Gasol dropped 40 points and ended the game, he was unstoppable. So why you bringing up the rest of the team when all they did was feed off gasol. No excuse for Pau to be destroying you when he is way past his prime. French cowards straight surrendered like every other thing they do

Hassan Whiteside's numbers don't ring hollow anymore
The Warriors beat the Heat on Wednesday, but Hassan Whiteside claimed a small victory. After publicly jabbing with Draymond Green, he did exactly what he said he would and dominated the Warriors front line with 21 points on 11 shots to go with 13 rebounds off the bench.
It wasn't enough to power Miami to a win over Golden State, but Whiteside, wrinkles and all, was the best big man in the game and owned the paint. The Heat were much better with him on the court than off and he made big plays when they needed them. The Warriors nailed jumpers over him to win the game, but they do that to many teams.
Accused by many -- including other NBA players -- of putting up empty numbers, Whiteside has actually made a big positive impact on winning for a while now. If the recent stretch of games is any indication, he's turned a corner in his career.
Whiteside's difference on defense
Whiteside is the best shot-blocker the league has seen in a while. He's averaging 3.9 blocks per game, a mark that hasn't been reached since Alonzo Mourning posted it in the 1998-99 season. He's doing it while playing under 29 minutes per game, too.
Yet despite those gaudy numbers, it was hard to really assert that he was a difference-maker on defense. Earlier in the season, the Heat were actually better defensively with Whiteside on the bench.
Since the New Year, however, Miami has fared markedly better with Whiteside patrolling the paint. In the 17 games he's been available in that stretch, the Heat are allowing 96.9 point per 100 possessions when he's on the court, a number comparable to the historically great Spurs defense. Opponents shoot over two percentage points worse and score over two fewer points in the paint when he plays. Even when he doesn't block shots, he intimidates opponents.
Whiteside doesn't just make teams miss in the paint, he prevents them from even shooting. Over the past two months, opponents launch 28 percent of their total shots within five feet of the basket when he's in the game and 34 percent when he's resting. Whiteside often stays too close to the rim instead of stepping out to contain shooters more, a big reason why he ranks second in the league in contested shots at the rim. That used to (and still is) a cause for criticism, but clearly Whiteside's approach is working.
Obviously, he's not doing it alone. Coach Erik Spoelstra is trotting out smaller, stingier defensive lineups more often recently, particularly in the wake of Chris Bosh's health scare. Yet those lineups with Luol Deng and/or Justise Winslow up front work in part because Whiteside is able to shut down the paint on his own. That is a very valuable skill.
Whiteside is scoring more while maintaining his efficiency
In the aggregate, the Heat's offense has done better with Whiteside on the court all season, but the difference isn't huge. Since the New Year, they have actually scored more points per 100 possessions with him off the floor than on, which didn't bode well for his potential as a two-way star. His defensive improvement still has made his presence a net positive, but the league is full of good defensive centers who can't stay on the court for long stretches because of their offensive limitations.
That said, Whiteside's response since he started coming off the bench suggests the Heat shouldn't be concerned about those numbers. In February, Whiteside's upped his scoring to over 15 points per game in fewer minutes than in past months. The Heat have scored almost five more points per 100 possessions with him on the court during that span, a significant amount.
Having Whiteside around is actually helping Miami's offense. His individual efficiency numbers have actually climbed despite taking more shots.

His numbers improved by coming off the bench and playing inferior competition and playing at a faster tempo? Incredible breh, truly groundbreaking information here. This is more a credit to the heat playing with a fast pace and not playing dinosaur basketball like they had been for 1.5 years.
I mean the guy is a freak he's gonna feast on depleted frontlines i.e. the Warriros last night, but I still think he's a bridge to nowhere. It's a fun team to watch though when they're on.
