Whiteside eating rebs I love it

 

[Darkwebs]

Whiteside is playing like Wilt!

 

[B-Roy]

Hassan dominating.

Hassaminating.

 

[PDXFonz]

Honestly I think it will be our 2nd unit that surprises a lot of people this year. Everyone knows about our starters, but I expect the bench to come in and push this lead; and do that a lot this season!

 

[Labinot41]

Remember when these garbage "experts" said we are going to be a bad Defense Team.

 

[Natebishop3]

Watching Whiteside is so weird..... he kinda just slowly moves around but it seems to work. Like that pass to Dame where he put it in seemed to happen in slow motion..... but it worked so I can't complain!

 

[LuckyShot]

Love the last play. Lillard had the better shot, but rewarded Whiteside.

Leadership

 

[Jon]

So..... is Nurkic going to be ok coming off the bench? Lol

 

[James lamphear]

I like there pushing the ball up this making Denver not be able to set there defense and players getting open. Also liken CJ attacking the basket.

 

[riverman]

Whiteside could have a double double in the first qtr if he plays anymore

 

[Darkwebs]

Whiteside on pace for 35 rebounds!

 

[hoopsjock]

Whiteside has hedged the perfect amount of time on three straight screens set by Plumlee and recovered back to guard the inside and be in perfect position for a rebound. If he consistently does that we'll easily be in the top-10 in defensive rating this year.

 

[Chris Craig]

Time out Denver! Malone is shitting himself

 

[SIeepwalker]

Our defense is going to be terrible without Harkless and Aminu !

 

[B-Roy]

He's good at being big.

 

[BonesJones]

The fact that we can hedge the PF or C on pick n rolls and still have an elite rim protector as a safety could work wonders for our defense!

 

[Chris Craig]

We hedged a pick and recovered! What is this sorcery?

Saw that! About spit out my rum

 

[Jade Falcon]

"The Other Side" is going to be awesome if we blow these mile-high assholes out.

 

[Natebishop3]

He's good at being big.

Watching him get rebounds is like watching an adult play basketball against small children.

 

[BonesJones]

And we have Collins playing safety. Its perfect.

 

[Chris Craig]

Either or! It's beautiful

 

[wizenheimer]

at this rate, Whiteside will have 44 rebounds

Denver at 15% shooting....got bricks?

 

[Natebishop3]

This is going to be a fun team to watch if we can stay healthy.

He’s able to cover a lot of ground with his length. He just sort of lurks. Used to drive me crazy when we’d play Miami.

See people think it's laziness. It's not, he just moves weird.

 

[B-Roy]

Damn, look at everyone on the bench rushing to give Hood a hand up!

 

[Natebishop3]

RODNEY HOOOOOOOD!

 

[Labinot41]

Hoodie!!! Harkless would have never hit that shot

 

[LuckyShot]

God damn, we are rolling right now.
