Very solid win Whiteside in beast mode tonight. Nice to see Blaze finding his shot also.

4 game win streak!

4 in a row...as a fan, I'll take it.

Way too much helping off their assignments defensively, but nice to see a little chemistry building with Bazemore and the rest of the team. It helps when he can actually stay on the floor...

Blazers would be sunk without Whiteside.

We need another player that can rebound.

Nurkic is supposed to be back after the all-star break. Is there a timeline on Zach's return?

Whiteside now leading the league in total BLKs (73) and BLK/G (2.7).

He also has 46 BLKs in his last 11 games (4.2 BLK/G).

From what I've seen it's 4-6 months, with 6 months being more common. So March at earliest most likely. But if he takes 6 months he might not be back this season.

If Blazers are smart they keep Hassan, dude is a beast ,but needs to know he's wanted and trusted, he knows how talented he is ,so when felt he's not a main piece and used as afterthought he demoralized, like dumb Spoelstra did, for some reason he hated Hassan, mentally worn him down by limiting his touches to minimum and sidelined him abruptly or in crunch time. I wished Hassan signed Celtics or Blazers after his breakout season, cause he needed a smart coach who sees his potential and knows how to use him, so i say; keep giving him minutes and keep feeding him, he's utterly talented, so you will see nothing short of positive +/-, he's a terrific post player, can finish multiple ways and have a jump shot, decent free throw shooter and formidable defender, beside being monster rebounder and blocker with his mutant 7' 7" wingspan. Plus did you notice how deliberate his blocking? He's not showing off and slapping balls to stands like numerous prominent blockers do, almost 95% of time either he takes over the ball or directing it to his teammates, it's incredible, basically his blocks are block+steal.

I believe instead of wasting his prime in Spo's going-nowhere teams if he were a Blazer since '16 he will be an all-timer, i can imagine multiple monster triple-double games like 40 pts, 30 rbs and 15 blks...
