Their head coach sucks, plain and simple.
The funny thing is, he can't be fired cuz the owners want him and the GM both away from the club, so they're trying hard to steer the ship in the right direction, but it may be a lost cause.

I kinda feel sad for them. Or maybe not :roll:

they replayed it at the arena several times...it looked the exact opposite of what you said...to 17k people...idk

Is it just me or are the guys making a concerted effort to get Dwight the ball ? Since the all-star break it seems as though he getting twice the touches he was before

I wouldn't say twice but it feels like he is getting the ball more, and especially in the 4th. I don't know but it seems to have something to do with Hedo. Ever since the all-star break he has getting the ball a lot more in his hands compared to the first part of the season, and he usually looks for Dwight more and forces the team to follow suit with his style. It's like Hedo thrives to play using Dwight 90% of the time, and thus he's more involved one way or the other. Also Dwight seems to pass more from the double triple teams more and better.

When I watch Dwight set those countless amounts of screens, I feel so sorry for the kid. It's his job bla bla yeah I know, but you feel bad for him cause he's giving too much effort, when you combine this with the fact that he gets bruised and pushed a lot inside and doesn't get calls, it's double tough. That's why we gotta reward him for his effort.

Is it just me or is it confusing to have so many people with the exact same signature?

We just had three separate people post in a row with identical sigs.

Yes, I was working on it last night. It's kind of difficult though, because that pic of Howard isn't too great.

I'm at work right now, but I'm going to take a look at it some more when I get home.

Took forever for Dwight to finally give Hedo a rebound for his triple-double:

I was so pissed at Bavetta in the 2nd half:

Very disappointed to see a good portion of the dancers missing. :(

I'm bullsh*tting. Just keeping my image of the Megan stalker intact. :rofl:
Seriously though, I would be surprised if half of UCF is up there. Dozens of my friends are heading up there to go absolutely crazy. Cops will have a field day if they give a damn (which they won't because they need the business).

Bavetta is senile man...horrid calls left and right...worst call, IMO was a technical on Dwight for saying "that's bull man, that's bull" and on Marvin Williams caught a foul for lapping the ball, all ball in Dwights hands while Josh Smith pushes Dwight from behind and knocks him to the ground, Josh got nothing, Marvin gets the call...what???


I don't know about senile, but Bavetta was definitely short-tempered Monday night. He wouldn't let anyone -- Dwight, Hedo, Van Gundy -- even approach him. He'd point for them to go in the opposite direction whenever they walked toward him.

That definitely was Josh Smith on that play where Dwight went to the ground. He did the same thing to Dwight the last time they played here and then got in Dwight's face and talked ****. He's tried to punk Dwight in games the past two seasons and isn't showing very well for himself if you ask me. And they supposedly were friends from Atlanta and their AAU days. Ha! Guys who try to take you out are no friends. Dwight would do well to watch himself around the Hawks, just keep his cool and get back at them within the parameters of the game.
