Goran Dragic, James Johnson and Udonis Haslem counseled Hassan Whiteside and addressed his level of effort after he was benched for nearly the entire second half of Miami's loss at Golden State.

Zaza Pachulia made an uncontested layup early in the second half while Whiteside was arguing with an official, which led to the benching.

Erik Spoelstra referred to the move as a "coach's decision," but Miami's three captains discussed the situation with Whiteside after the game with reporters.

"Sometimes you just don't have it," Dragic said, according to the Miami Herald. "[Whiteside] admitted, 'Hey guys, I let you down.' Look, we're here to help him. He's on our team. He's our player. We love him and this is the only thing that matters."
