A: I not only received plenty of these during and after the loss to the Warriors, but almost was expecting more. The mood swings on Hassan Whiteside from this fan base is remarkable. First, with Whiteside it is defense first, which also happens to be the Heat's mantra. So if it is about getting stops, and then securing the rebound to end the other team's possession, Whiteside is a net gain on that end. And when it comes to getting "relief" baskets, Whiteside can help with his alley-oop finishes and offensive-rebound putbacks. But you also can make the argument that Chris Bosh is best suited to play center in today's NBA. With Whiteside it comes down to this: When he is imposing his will, playing with the force he did in those games last season against Chicago and Boston, when he is active on every play on both ends, he is a terrific talent, one who makes your team better. A lot better. But it has to be often enough that the other questions don't creep in. This season, there have been too many times when the doubts have had legitimacy. The only one who can end the narrative about lingering questions is Hassan, himself.
