Lets face something else as well. We all have gawked at Dwights monster numbers but his bball IQ is seriously lacking, and that is a concern. Without a decent IQ he cannot lead us to the promised land.

He spent all his time developing the best basketball body possible, and he probably succeeded. Now its time to watch tape of Duncan and start learning this game.

this is really painfully true
Dwight Howard on his FT struggles:

"I just think everybody needs to stop talking about it," Howard said. "There's more to life than free throws."

A series doesn't start until the home team loses in their place. Maybe it'll start Monday, but we got a good wake-up call.

man winning game 1 would have been sweet, but detroit is a really good team you have to admit that. we have to realize this and man up, the whole team not just our guards. they are not letting us play our normal game, so we have to be like water and adapt to find another weakness. this is where SVG needs to step in and be like yoda. yes we lost, yes they do usually have our number, but we have beaten them 2x this year and they do have weaknesses. our guys cannot be like some of the doom and gloomers on the board, and i do not mean that in offense to our doom and gloomers. i did not want to face the pistons at all, but i also do not wanna pay taxes ever again, what are u gonna do. the team needs to find some confidence and find another way to beat them. basically they are ivan drago in rocky 4, what did the black guy say who helped train rocky, "you see? you hurt him! he is a man, he is not a machine." they can be beaten and we can be the ones who do that.
Whether you think you CAN or you think you CAN'T, you're right.

imo, it was our lack of ball movement in the 2nd half killed us that game.
