No Boozer, no Brewer

For Orlando probably also no Dwight Howard

Dwight Howard scored 19 points in 22 minutes for Orlando before leaving with 8:36 left in the third quarter because of a sore left knee.

“I made a move on (Robin) Lopez and I guess I came down the wrong way or something,” he said. “I don’t even remember what happened but I was trying to run back on defense and my knee started hurting. I’m not going to play with any pains like this.”

Howard said there was only soreness and no apparent structural damage.

“It’s none of my ligaments,” he said. “Everything is fine. I’ll be all right.”

I was wondering why he didn't have more stats last night. Interesting. I imagine he will play tonight though.

Alright, Top 5!

:party:

Like Almond getting the start, I love how strong the bench is and really like that Sloan isn't messing with it.

This is a good test game. We are going to have to fight really hard with this game, and that is something that this team hasnt shown consistently this season.

This is Almond's opportunity to shine. Go Mo!

The Sheik · Post #12 » by **The Sheik** » Sun Dec 14, 2008 1:37 am

No Dwight Howard. Gortat is replacing him.

xstockholmsyndromex · Post #13 » by **xstockholmsyndromex** » Sun Dec 14, 2008 2:12 am

No Dwight Howard makes me MUCH more opptomistic about this game.

What the F was that D-Will?

xstockholmsyndromex · Post #15 » by **xstockholmsyndromex** » Sun Dec 14, 2008 2:16 am

Almond cant ever pass the ball. If it ends up in his hands he shoots.

xstockholmsyndromex · Post #16 » by **xstockholmsyndromex** » Sun Dec 14, 2008 2:20 am

Gortat was moving....how as that an offensive on CJ!?!? Bad call.

The Sheik · Post #17 » by **The Sheik** » Sun Dec 14, 2008 2:22 am

Im starting to like Mo Almond. He rebounds better then any of the wing group and always has that timely block. Dumb Dumb decision declining his 1.1 mil option.

xstockholmsyndromex · Post #18 » by **xstockholmsyndromex** » Sun Dec 14, 2008 2:32 am

Almond has moments of brilliance, and other moments where I want to reach through the TV and strangle him...but I agree, for 1.1 million, the Jazz should have picked up the option.

xstockholmsyndromex · Post #19 » by **xstockholmsyndromex** » Sun Dec 14, 2008 2:33 am

Wow...I just looked at the stats. Deron with a quiet 6 assists in the first quarter.

xstockholmsyndromex · Post #20 » by **xstockholmsyndromex** » Sun Dec 14, 2008 2:34 am

We got a make-up call there. That was clean block on Almond.
