The Good News 

Post#1 » by richboy » Sat Apr 25, 2009 3:11 am

Dwight is turning the corner. He playing with a anger and passion that I haven' t seen. I think all the Espn TNT commentators crticizing him will help him take the next step. Him making those free throws down the stretch will be huge for his confidence.

Dwight was awesome tonight. He damn nearly carried Orlando to a V with little to no help from his back court.

He had a lot to be angry about.

I believe in Dwight in the long run. As long as Orlando holds on to him = championships down the road.

Howard will bolt just like Tmac if his team keeps giving him these pitiful performances. Perhaps at that point we'll realize it's a managerial problem.

FTs look pretty meaningless when you give up a layup to lose the game immediately afterwards. Not blaming Dwight, but I just don't think those FTs will mean anything to his confidence in the long run. if we had won, maybe.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

The real test of how far Dwight has come will be seen in the locker room tonight. Because he needs to unload on the rest of this team and let them know exactly what will happen if they keep dogging it.

Now is the time for Dwight to be the emotional leader of this team and flip the heck out.

^^You said nothing but a word. This team need some motivation bad if they want to win this thing against the Sixers. These laspes on both ends of the floor aren't going to cut it anymore. Either man up and play are or give up and go home empty handed.
