The Dwight Howard Thread

Welcome to the NBA circa 2012. Enjoy yourself. Flopping and bitching is a actually part of game strategy. You hone your skill just like you would breaking double teams and crossing over.

Re: Could Dwight Be Playing Somewhere Else Next Season?

From select players. They're the exception, not the rule. There are a LOT of players who play the game the way it's meant to be played.

Re: Could Dwight Be Playing Somewhere Else Next Season?

There's that too but I didn't want to bring it up and start a firestorm.

That's a bigger reason. And I think he's a flopping little vagina who cries to the refs every time he hits the ground.

Do you like D Wade? Jw.

OT: Every Superstar cries to the ref. Howard especially.

I like his game, I don't like him though.

I don't like Dwight Howard either.

Re: Could Dwight Be Playing Somewhere Else Next Season?

The way I look at it, Dwight isn't afraid to leave, he already DEMANDED a trade earlier this year. My thought though, is that he had an extensive talk with the front office, and they promised to do something about the mediocre supporting cast. So he is going to give them another year and that's why he waived his FA rights.

I really hope sometime around draft time, that ORL can make a trade, and draft a nice young player to keep Dwight around. I wasn't really old enough to understand the magnitude of the Shaq indecent, but from what I see , the years after he left, until we grabbed Dwight were a disaster.

I don't want that to happen to my Magic again.

Great quote.
No one at all understands this, they look at an instance where guys Like Wade or Geno will flop and get a call for it, then deem the entire league as flopping sissies.

Look at true professional ball players who go by the rules and don't try to get by on anything but pure basketball skill, guys like Timmy Duncan , Joe Johnson , Jameer Nelson, Dirk, J-Kidd, (Hell pretty much ALL the mavericks, with the exception of De. West and maybe VC.)

When it comes to arguing and complaining about calls Tim Duncan is one of the absolute worst in the game.

After the 2012-13 season Jameer Nelson, JJ Redick and Earl Cark's contracts all end freeing up a total of around 15 million in cap space. Hedo Turkoglu, Quentin Richardson and Chris Duhon will also be in the final years of their deals and their expiring contracts total around another 19 million that can be offloaded. With all that money coming off the books by the end of next season, anything can happen.

He's not really a big flopper though. Lots of guys complain, Duncan's face is especially ridiculous but there's not a single guy that doesn't complain. What bothers me about Wade is he flops, then stares down the ref for not giving him the call. He gets away with more yelling at refs that anyone I've ever seen, I was amazed when he finally get a technical in the Finals last year.



I think that picture sums it all up pretty well.

Hopefully for the better. Front office can't afford to make anymore terrible contract decisions.

Yeah, I can't front, Timmay is one of the worst complainers out there, but not a flopper.....

Dirk great and everything, but he flails and flops quite a bit too

But back to Dwight, his "They love me, they really love me" reaction to the cheers he received against the NETS was so corny to me, lol. Dude needs to just sign an extension and get all the over with.

Dirk is an expert at flopping on his jumpshot. I still maintain a lot of his flailing is because he's an awkward guy. You almost never see him flop around the basket though. He also usually doesn't cry to a ref after a flop.

Re: Could Dwight Be Playing Somewhere Else Next Season?

Dirk contorts his body a lot, which is a form of flopping.
