The fallout of the Miami Heat’s exciting come from behind win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday night has been divisive. While all Heat fans are happy with the win that ended a three game losing streak, they’ve also found themselves on opposite sides over Hassan Whiteside, and his importance/lack thereof to Miami’s future.
The fuse was lit after last Monday’s loss to the Washington Wizards, as Whiteside didn’t play in the last sixteen minutes of the game because the Wizards went small and had Jared Dudley playing center for long stretches. The Heat ended up losing and Heat Coach Erik Spoelstra became a scapegoat because he didn’t put Whiteside back in the game.
