Very impressive pass at the 0:42 mark :ehh: He should teach that to Whiteside. I likes!

And i finally got to see that midrange jumperthe coaching staff raved about during his workouts at the 1:42 and 2:08 mark. If he becomes a better shot blocker he might make Hassan expandable at some point like in 2 year or so

Should be twin towering with Whiteside in the starting lineup bet he shoots better than 35% from the field (TJ and JRich) and 25% from 3 (JRich) but Spo gonna Spo :mindblown:
:whoa: I dont believe in the twin tower approach.
Especially not in today's NBA where small ball is pretty much becoming an everyday thing for some teams. Dont get me wrong. IT CAN WORK but you need MOBILE bigs who can also shoot and wont both be trying to clog up the lane. Which both Hassan and Bam seem to have adequate jumpers to make it work but i dont know... in my head i dont see them moving well when they are both on the floor
Come to think of it I should work in certain matchups but i have to see it first before i give it my blessing for every game type scenarios. I'll try look at some Pelicans games and see how Boogie and Davis are doing when they are both on the floor

WHo was supposed to update this with this year's roster?

Bam need to get some burn every game young bull is nice wit it
THIS

Unless we're on some small ball lineup type shyt for specific matchups i dont see why he' not on the floor every time Whiteside steps off. With them in the game our wings can leak out to the other end of the court much faster since they are both very good rebounders.

Problem is Spoelstra likes to REACT to other coach's line up and adjust to them rather than imposing his own approach and making THEM ADJUST. I know he's a defensive coach first but he needs to do better on that aspect. Go back to his 2011-2012 mode when it comes to offense.

I was impressed watching those Bam highlights, him getting down that 3 will make him a great 3&D big. In a perfect world, Bam and a regime change(Riley retiring) leads to Hassan being moved in the offseason for picks and/or prospects.

Wait hold up @Heatle dont u dare dap shyt until u post a vid of Winslow making his three's you muthafukkin uhhhhhhhhhhhhh:mjgrin:

I want the breh to succeed :mjgrin:

Let's see if it's sustainable :mjgrin:
I want him to hit his 3s so he can get more PT in Spo's (spacing) system but i'd rather see him driving and finishing at the basket, tho. His speed and handling skills are too high for him to spend most of his time camped out at the 3pt line waiting for passes from penetrators

Hassan out tonight Bam better fukkin start
Probably.

We need someone big to guard Porzingis. Probably Olynyk or James Johnson. This is not like KAT where you can have Winslow guard him. He's got very good range to go along with that size advantage.
Edit: Mickey isnt a bad to guard Porzingis choice, tho, @Freddie.Cane

Watching Bam/Winslow I can't help but wonder how good they would be producing on the Celtics under Stevens:jbhmm:

Also for some strange reason I don't think Jaylen Brown would have as much success under Spo :patrice:
Spo is notoriously stubborn with his lineups, sets, and rotation decisions, and he’s been that way his entire career. He tried to run out 2012-14 offense in 2014-15 even without LeBron. It took him until the final month of the 2014-15 season to even give whiteside 30 minutes a game when the team would play dramatically better when he was in. He benched him every chance he had in 2015-16, and apparently he’s been 2014-15 status this year sticking with lineups that don’t work and refusing to see how some young players fit together.

If I see KO or Mickey out there to start I'm pulling up :bustback:
It ain't as much about matchups as it is Bam gives us some fukkin rim protection no matter who's out there. Let him guard Porzingis fukk it, did y'all see him switch on lebron last night? Made him shoot an air ball :banderas:
Bron thought shyt was sweet and he was gonna take him but Bam was too big and long for him :dame:
