Why do big men complain about SVG

The Orlando Magic collapsed in the final minutes of Game 5, and maybe cost themselves a chance to reach the Eastern Conference finals. Howard is watching the ball go everywhere but where it ought to: Into the hands of the Magic’s franchise center, its superstar.

Enough, Howard said.

Give me the ball.

“You’ve got a dominant player,” Howard pleaded late Tuesday night. “Let him be dominant.”

This is the third player that has played under him that has had issues with his decision making in crunchtime.

Looks more and more like Shaq was right.

I was too busy to watch the game last night. When I saw the box score and saw that Howard had only 10 shots I was not surprised they lost. GIVE HIM THE BALL!

Usually Turkoglu is the guy taking the last shot on the team but the last 6 shots were taken by Lewis and Rafer Alston going 0-6

He is right though, its the playoffs, give the inside man the ball.

Van gundy is living up to the choke claims. Its like when the pressure kicks in he is thinking about cheeseburgers instead of basketball logic.

Re: Why do big men complain about SVG

I honestly don't think Dwight has an argument here at all.

He just isn't very good with the ball in his hands. He has bare bones post moves and just isn't very skilled inside. He looks so easy to defend.

- Running hook
- Baby hook
- Running hook
- Running hook
- Running hook
- Baby hook

It's been five years, and his offensive repertoire is still so limited.

Add that to the fact that he tends to driblle too much and turn the ball over, he is not the best at passing out of the post, and he can't shoot free throws.

Can one really blame SVG for not feeding him the ball especially towards the end of the game?

yeah i agree, even if the play wasn't supposed to go to Dwight. the team does rely on him to get the rebounds at key points in the game. I noticed with under 1 minute to play, that the celtics got two rebounds and two new shot clocks.... in my opinion those rebounds sealed the deal.

And you don't want him on the FT line at the end of the game.

Re: Why do big men complain about SVG

While that might be true, you also dont want Alston and Lewis chucking jumpers in the last 3 minutes of the game, and only giving Dwight and Hedo minimum shots and touches.

Are you serious? Gortat?

Did he complain about him getting the ball or saying he wanted Dwight to get the ball more?

Gortat? Surely not complaining about his own touches. He played like 12 minutes a game all season. Of course your not high on the list for touches.
