Personally i've felt for a while that his legs are starting to go. Every once in a while he has a night where he's like a human pogo stick, but most nights he's just not going after everything like he used to. Tonight I watched him pass up several attempts to go block a shot after all those offensive rebounds Washington was getting. I've also felt this was a reason for his drop off in rebounds (he was rebounding over 15 per game, now it's just a shade over 14.5).
Hopefully he gets his legs back under him and starts going after those shots.

It is. The last two nights, the fourth quarter against Toronto being the exception, he's not getting nearly enough touches. Yeah, he's only 2-5 in this game, but Dwight starts slow a lot and picks up steam as the game drags on. They need to get him touches.
That's the first time I've heard them mention it on air.
And remember back when SVG criticized Dwight, SVG said that Dwight was becoming to concerned about his offense. So that shows that Dwight has obviously been frustrated about his lack of getting the ball, and more and more people are starting to notice it. I wonder when SVG is going to do something about it.
I mean, I know Dwights offense isn't the smoothest, but improvement comes with getting more opportunities. Dwight's already scores 20+ a night without getting the ball much. He even scored 16 in the 4th against Toronto the other night! At the rate Dwight's game has improved thus far, giving him the ball the majority of the time down the floor would improve his offense exponentially.

Tonight after the game, Sun Sports debuts this new behind the scenes Magic show. Tonight's halftime feature was a preview. It was showing pre-game Dunking Dancers practice, with Megan being shown a lot.
Looks like a pretty cool show. I'm probably gonna watch it.
