I love it when a girl tells me that

Exactly, thats how teams feel when they come to Orlando, their eyes light up, they play with confidence and no fear, their shooting percentages go off the roof, when u come to the Amway Arena ur gonna get some........

We should trade our whole roster for the Bobcats' roster...

i expect a lot from dwight and his effort sucks right now. but when you never get the ball on offense and you have no frontcourt help on defense or on the boards it gets tiring. and our defense is always gonna suck with rashard and hedo in the starting lineup. both of them suck on defense. throw in jameer nelson and there you go. our defense will never be good with this lineup.

No excuse, we have enough scorers on this team and we need him to play DEFENSE. When each team scores 120 pts on us, the guy has to focus on defense, he needs to protect the damn paint.

He has to step up.

Larry Hughes killed us tonight, which has nothing to do with Dwight.

Foyle played worse and nobody is saying **** about him, Nice guy but absolutely terrible in this game.

Yep, but unfortunately Dwight and the Foo' Crew ruined my return. :noway:

Dwight needs to step up. Yes he needs some help on rebounding. Yes he might be frustrated he is not getting the ball more. That doesnt matter though. He still have to man up and play D and rebound. Thats what he does.

True, we need a true PF to go alongside Dwight, i mean a starter PF, even Battie is not enough.

He thinks he's this big time low post scorer, which he's not. His actual low post skill at this point is still minimal. When he scores on a post up it's a small miracle. Everything he does is wild. We don't give him the ball late in games because who the f*** knows what's going to happen.

He needs to forget about that and start focusing on defense, and rebounding. He scored 12 a game in his rookie year basically on putbacks. And he's much better now than he was then. He has to get back to that. The points will come.

Dwight is key to our defense. When he is out, we get killed. We don't have a back-up for him or a defensive "near-equal" down low to play along side him. The dude is tired of busting ass on the defensive end to watch the AT&T long distance shoot out that takes place on the offensive end.

The All-Star break should do him well.

If Smith is happy with this garbage, he should not only be fired, but barred from the NBA. He can't be so stupid as to not clearly see that he needs to unload the expirings while he has them. He has a chance to inject some life into this total lack of effort. Stan must be beside himself, because I think that he has some pride...his team right now, clearly has none.

why wait for SVG to break it down?

it obvious that dwight's not happy with how things are going on the offensive end.

he does all the dirty work and the scrubs get to have all the fun.

people are kidding themselves. howard is never gonna settle for just being a defensive presence and continue to be ignored on offense.

You are talking about tonight but it's been a lot of games now that Dwight isn't focused on defense.

Against the Lakers, Gasol had his way.

Against the Mavs, Brandon Bass (!) had a strong rebounding game.
