Hassan Whiteside posted his sixth double-double of the season in Monday's 95-78 win against the Knicks, with 11 points, 11 rebounds and five more blocks.

Well, the official scorer said he said five.

"I definitely had like six or seven," Whiteside said. "But it's OK."

Then he nearly had reporters doubling over with laughter afterward.

Some of his better quotes:

-- On escaping an intentional foul, on a play that ended with a Dwyane Wade pass for a Goran Dragic layup: "You know, I like shooting the free throws. It was just funny to me, because I saw their whole team running to me. I saw a situation where D-Wade had a layup or Goran had a layup. So I decided to sprint away just to open it up for my teammates to get a wide open layup. And it worked out well... I'm enjoying this. I'm enjoying this. Foul me so we can get a double-double and we can win.... It's not working."

-- On his assist in this game: "Yeah, to Lu (Deng) cutting. I told the guys, I'm trying to pass it to you. It's just I can't get a lot of assists, because a lot of times I'm the one that's dunking, or I'm the one who is getting assisted to. But I'm a willing passer."

-- On it being his fourth assist of the season: "Oh, man. I'm breaking records all the time, you know."

-- On whether the blocks are coming easily: "No, man, it's not as easy as you might think. You know, it's weird, because there's two different teams. There's teams that are out there, 'Stay away from Hassan.' And there's teams out there, 'We don't care if Hassan is down there, attack Hassan.' And I love them teams. God bless them coaches and bless them. I love them teams."

-- On the blocks not being as spectacular: "I think you guys are all kind of used to it now. At first, it wowed y'all. And now it's just like, 'Another one.'"
