Wow, can't believe we only have a 1 pt lead and Dwight already has 26 pts. I know we're riding the hot hand and all but we gotta get some other guys going and not just chillin behind the 3. Shard and Vince had success posting up so get them out early in the 4th and then run the offense through them when Dwight's out.

We all know that the lead will be blown somehow, but that was just godawful.

When is Jameer going to realize his shot is off? He missed a week so I give him a pass on his shot, but his decision making has been pretty bad.

2nd qtr really hurt them. Overall I thought they played well in the first half, especially on the road, but you look up and it's only a 1 pt game but you feel it should be more.

2nd half should be good but the team is going to have to make adjustments on the Nelson/Miller matchup and also when Aldridge is playing center.
Dwight Howard on his FT struggles:

"I just think everybody needs to stop talking about it," Howard said. "There's more to life than free throws."

might be stupid logic on my part but i rather have them blow the lead now rather late in the game....this way we have to play with energy instead of being up big and letting the foot off the gas like we normally do

Carter needs to finish at the rim, he's missed two layups (although one led to a Dwight offensive rebound because help went to Carter). Jameer just needs to chill and make better decisions, he's missed all 6 jumpers he took.

Vince needs to step up. He should be attacking Roy. What gives?

It's pretty clear why Orlando is only up 1, regardless of Dwight being 10-12 and 26 points the starting backcourt is 1-12, 4 points....thats TERRIBLE. They both need to step up their game in the second half and help Dwight

Solid game plan Stan. Dwight dominates the 1st quarter so naturally in the 2nd quarter, we stop going to him every trip down the floor.

He needs the ball in the post or in iso. Few plays called for him.
Also he missed two gimme layups, which is unacceptable.

I highly doubt Stan told them to not give the ball to Dwight, he just needs to demand it.

It's called Coach's play calling

But of course that doesn't matter in this league right
