Is Whiteside hurt? Why is he getting paid $24 to sit the bench?
Let's see how many more games you win if JR/Love/Korver score a combined 28 points.
Other then FT's, did Tristan make a shot from more then 2 feet from the basket?
Turner was awful.
JV is a big, mean dude.
He'll eat Tristan alive.
"one decent game" cmon now.
its game 7. Its showing up in the playoffs.
Whiteside couldnt get off the bench- and even when he did get opportunities his production was dismal.
When TT got his chance he made it so that Lue couldnt take him out since he was producing.
Without TT's performance yesterday the Cavs very well could be done for and at home fishing like the Heat.
One guy stepped up and helped his team pull out a big Game 7. The other guy failed to help his team and then complained about his playing time after the game.
We all know which guy did what. As i have said time and time again- TT is a guy that helps you win games. Whiteside is a complainer that puts up empty stats. Those Game 7's could not have been a more perfect crystallization of that.
if Tristan is taking many shots from farther than 2 feet from the basket he should be benched.
He did what I had been saying all series we needed---- I just thought it would be from Nance---- a guy that sets a pick and can then roll to the basket with LeBron and finish.
Tristan played solid D, gave the Cavs extra possessions, and was a threat rolling to the basket. If he can do those 3 things he can be a very solid piece like he was for quite a few postseason series in the last few years.
I am just impressed that when they needed him- in Game 7, he came up with one of the biggest games of his career.
He MADE Ty Lue keep him in the game. I think I read that his 35 minutes were the MOST minutes he played in a single game the entire season. I am sure that was not the plan going in, but his play dictated he stay in.
If he did not step up like he did the Cavs very well might be having a REALLY REALLY bad day today.

Pretty sure Tristan has played against JV the last two years and he has done fine
Easy to simplify.
Tristan had the type of game, he SHOULD have.
Last I looked, if James ‘only’ scores 40, the Cavs lose.
If LeBron bolts, Tristan will become as irrelevant as irrelevant can be.
"should have"....lolEasy to simplify.

if Tristan averaged 15 and 10 every game and played that kind of defense hed be under all star consideration.
Tristan is not about stats- he is about making winning plays- giving the team more possessions, playing good pick and roll defense, throwing vicious picks and rolling to the basket to occupy a defender.
Whiteside is about himself and his minutes and his stats. He could not have made that more clear by his own comments.
Ty Lue gave Tristan the start--- if Tristan had committed a bunch of fouls and looked out of shape and disinterested like Whieisde looked against Philly- Tristan would ahve gotten an early hook--- instead he looked motivated and he produced and he ended up playing a season high 35 minutes.
Whiteside got 10 first half minutes against hte Sixers in GAme 7 - but committed 3 fouls in 10 minutes and had a turnover and that play led to him being stapled to the bench the rest of the game.
Where Tristan produced and never complained about playing time- never complained that he - as a former starter on a championship team was all of a sudden gettign no minutes.
Think about that--- Tristan had double doubles in two of the last 3 finals the Cavs made- was the starter on an nba championship team- should be in the middle of his prime- was benched- and you never heard a peep out of him.
When his number was called he produced. Whiteside complained about his PT and when his number was called he failed and complained more about his PT.
thats the difference. One is a guy that puts the team ahead of himself. The other is a guy that puts himself ahead of the team.
you never heard a WORD of Tristan whining about his playing time despite being a starter on an NBA championship team. He kept his mouth shut- waited for his opportunity, and then produced when called upon in the biggest game of the year.The real question isn’t why is Tristan not playing, which is for a number of reasons: injuries, Lue being and idiot, etc....why is Whiteside playing 15 minutes a game while getting $24 mil a year. Foul trouble? If Tristan can keep this up the rest of the playoffs and Lue actually give him minutes I will still take his contract over Whiteside. Whiteside can’t stay on the court, even if he is more productive.

Whiteside complained about his playing time- wasnt ready when called upon- did not perform in the biggeset game of the Heats year- and then complained more about his playing time.
As i said above- one guy puts puts the team before himself- one guy puts himself before the team.

both are shit players
lol..of course he had to make excusesHeat president Pat Riley said that Hassan Whiteside wasn't ready "mentally or physically" for the playoffs.
"There's no doubt he was in a bad state in the playoffs," Riley said. "I'm not going to give him any kind of excuse." Riley backed up coach Erik Spoelstra's decision to bench Whiteside during the playoffs, but said he's willing to be the "intervener" for that relationship if necessary. This will one of the most intriguing storylines to follow this summer and it wouldn't be a surprise to see the big man moved. "He's going to have to do something to change, because he's a hell of a player," Riley added.
lol..of course he had to make excuses
what was he gonna say? yah- i fucked up on this one--- dudes trade value has tanked and theres nothing i can do about it---anyone want to take 52M to sit on the bench for the next 2 years?
if Riley is lucky he will find a taker and not have to take back too much poop.
lol, he wasnt ognna make excuses- but he made excuses....i mean thats exactly how that goes...Can you read.
He said he wasn't making any excuses for him.
WTF you talking about?
And, please, sit on the bench for the next 2 years.
Yes, teams know what a force he can be and sometimes go small to try to force him out the game, but that is just now part of the game.
In addition, the Heat has other viable options.
The Cavs have Kendrick Perkins.
I'm pretty sure there will always be a place in the league for players who can lead the league in rebounding, blocks, etc..
lol, he wasnt ognna make excuses- but he made excuses....i mean thats exactly how that goes...
Im not gonna make excuses.....but....
I can do the same thing for Kevin Love's shit play in the first round...
Im not gonna make excuses, but.....he did hurt his hand......
"I'm not going to give him any kind of excuse," Riley said. "But (Whiteside's) season started with an injury, and all year long there was a dilemma of some kind."Riley didn’t mention any injury.
Not sure what excuse you think you are seeing.
