Stan's postgame interview....says he has to figure things out.....says he needs to figure out how to score at the 4 position when Ryan isn't in the game.....Once again he says we don't have guys that attack the rim so we won't attack the rim we will play "Our" game which same old walk the ball up pick and roll bull....I really hope stan changes some things because if he says all of this and makes no adjustments then he's just window dressing the problem

Its evident Dwight is now completely off-side with the entire team. Im guessing things have been said in the lockerroom, and now there is a lot of bad blood between Dwight and pretty much everyone else. Check this vid i just uploaded to youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tq54Z77u ... e=youtu.be

Its what he said as he was walking to the bench at the end of the 4th. To me, its looks like he says to Stan at the end "time to let go now". What you guys think?

It explains why we are playing like **** too... Would you give a **** if your so called leader was being like this? We need a change. Dwight has to go... Its over. Sick of this guy acting like a child. Cant wait for him to be playing for some other team and we can play hack-a-howard on him.


I think he said "it's time to go" at 10 secs.



Not sure, but there has to be at least one lip reader specialist on this board!

Dwight is a poor leader. I understand his frustrations with the front office not surrounding him with the talent necessary to win a 'ship, but there's no excuse for him throwing his teammates under the bus repeatedly. These guys have played above their heads and tried to the best of their abilities; unfortunately, we just never had the star power to seriously compete.

Sad, sad day. It's over now.

it is either that or players want to make svg quit or fired.


No... I think players are turning on Dwight,not Stan. That would make more sense, no?


I don't know wtf happens in that locker room, but usually players stick together. That is only my experience.

^^
When your so called star is publically stating he wants to play for a team like the Celtics, who have been a long time rival of us, its pretty hard to defend something like that...

It is really hard to watch these games and for these players to play hard to only be thrown under the bus over and over again by Dwight. I am not going to miss him at all to be honest. It may take some time, but we will be good again.


Exactly.

We have our ups and downs, but we have been one of the greatest fanbases in the league imo. Name one other team where the star player can ask for a trade and the fans actually take his side and aim at the GM? He better not ever try that sh*t in Brooklyn (assuming he goes there).

We'll be fine. Stars keep bouncing, and we keep bouncing back. We deserve better than this.

This is what happens when you create an atmosphere where one player is bigger (or perceived to be) bigger than an organization (see Cleveland). It's funny how Dwight was suppose to be "different" according to some fans and media types but in the end he showed (rightly or wrongly) he is out for himself and what's best for him. I suspect Kevin Durant will now be lauded, praised and propped up by fans around the league and media types for being a superstar who is not about the glitz and glamour and willing to stay in his small market and who only cares about winning. Time will tell if he will follow the same path as Lebron, Bosh, Carmelo, Deron Williams, CP3 and now apparently Dwight.

we're 12-7... Once we are 12-18 I'll start panicking....

We are not that good of a team... U people get to high and too low, and the whole Dwight thing isn't helping lol

We're not on the level of the heat or the bulls or OKC.. and We are not going to make a trade that will put us on that level... and because of this we will lose Dwight...

I dont see how this cant be it for this group of guys. Their body language and effort alone would be cause for serious concern. Add in all the finger pointing in the media and the circus that is the Dwight trade demand. I have a bad feeling things are about to get ugly.

You guys try to read to much into everything. This team blew out Indiana and was up by 27 against Boston a few quarters ago.

This team issue is we can't score. Ryan Anderson scoreless against Boston. With the way Jameer, Jrich, BigBaby, etc are playing we have no offense. Last night Ryan Anderson goes scoreless in the second half. Again with the struggles of others we don't have anybody who can put the ball in the basket. Today no Ryan Anderson. Again nobody can score to make up the difference. Jameer and Jrich are close to worthless.

I knew this was going to happen during the year. As soon as we had 1 tough stretch of games it was everyone has quit because of the Dwight situation. I don't buy that though because this team still plays very good defense. So apparently they have quit just playing offense. No they just don't have any decent offensive player.

Look at the stats for this year. Dwight Howard and Ryan Anderson have a ridiculous PER. JJ Redick and Hedo are a little above the average NBA player. The rest of the team is around 10. If your around 10 your not even playing NBA level basketball. We have to get more production from Jameer, Jrich, Big Baby. If not this team has no shot and will keep breaking records for horrible offensive nights.
