To this day, I still don't understand why Otis Smith didn't bother getting Dwight a backup center.

Great defense Dwight :clap:

Orton might be playing in the 2nd half. I'd sit Dwight, he's still hurting.

That's it. Let's play BBD and Orton at Center. No point in messing with a back injury at this point in the season.

His body language could be that he's in pain.

That was excellent defense from Dwight. Our defense as a whole is solid, just need to pick it up a bit on offense. To only be down eight is pretty remarkable seeing that we were pretty crappy in the 2nd quarter.

This slump seems more injury related than because of off the court issue.

I honestly don't see anything wrong with his body language.

All this drama and injurys just drained the team PERIOD.

I would say we have a good chance of missing the playoffs, but we do have a really easy schedule heading into the end of the season and will probably hang on.

lol at Jalen Rose, "Chris Duhon, GPS, throw it to 12" and he passes to someone else when Dwight is wide open on a p&r

We got a bad mental fatigue. We will be lucky to score 65 tonight.

I don't know what a easy schedule is with this team. So many different things going on that anything is possible with 10 games left.

My rational mind says this, but my emotions say **** no.

It seems like we never get to suck in private. Our slumps are always when we have bunches of nationally televised games.

No matter what, I'm still supporting this team. I've been through worse stretches and seasons. Turn it around in the 2nd half. And Dwight doesn't look right... he needs rest... don't even play him... his back isn't at full strength.

F Haywood!

If Dwight is hurt we would just be better playing 4 on 5 then putting Orton in. This guy couldn't start in church league.

Nick Anderson almost makes me want to switch to ESPN. Almost, but not quite.

Where is Pat Garrity? Jeff Turner? Those guys are good.
