For a full day I was convinced Rondo was the best PG in the league...then I watched some CP3 against Miami and realized I hadn't seen enough Chrisy P do his thang. My goodness.

Only difference is you know Dwight's supporting cast isn't anything to write home about. Honestly the talent gap between Dwight and the 2nd best Magic player might be the biggest compared to any other super star in the league. Not to mention the whole lack of defense thing from most of the Magic players.

So what?

Didn't he make it to the Finals with a similar, if not worst, supporting cast?

And if Deron Williams is considered a superstar, then you are wrong about biggest dropoff.

To me, Dwight doesn't have "it". And someone else mentioned he may be better off being a #2 guy.

You aren't paying attention Bumrush. If there is a Dwight Howard thread I'll address things further there instead of derailing this thread. If a mod or someone can provide a link that would be cool. I dont see one on the front page. Maybe I've overlooked it.

Ehhhh Lopez is injured right now but when healthy I'm pretty sure people would take him over anything else the Magic have to offer. They made it to the Finals when they were a match up nightmare with Turkgolu and Lewis playing out of their minds (and ridiculous 3 point shooting). Not to mention that was a weaker eastern conference to add on to it (that was the year Garnett was inured for Celtics).

Don't kid yourself.

He wants to buddy up in a major market too because he feels left out. Bottom line. Any other reason is completely false.

[SARCASM]WHAT!? You mean to tell me he's not in it to win a championship? That can't be possible. All the great players want to win a championship.[/SARCASM]

[The 24th Letter]

Nevermind.

Anyway, some good games tonight.

Rose says he's playing.

I wish CJ Watson would hurry up and heal. I feel the offense would be in good hands if Watson was the starting PG for a couple of games. If there is any time in the season I want Rose to rest because of injury it's got to be now. There is some speculation that Watson would probably be ready for Monday. I'd bring Watson off the bench then increase his minutes each game and probably by mid-week, start Watson and give Rose some rest for about 3-4 games.

I hope Kyrie scores 82 and Dan Gilbert sends Kobe another cosmic sans letter.

I wouldn't mind that

You guys can't even succeed in failing. I hope you guys keep winning, make the playoffs and don't get a lottery pick in what is to be one of the best drafts in recent history.

Nothing against the city or the team, just that jackass owner. But I don't blame him for crying about trades, he was just exercising his rights.

Put it like this, if Duhwight really does go to Brooklyn, then he basically defeats this theory as crazy as it sounds lol.

Unless he won't count as being a great player because he went there.

His main desire is to buddy up and get attention. If championships are a byproduct of that, then I'm sure he'll take it.

You seem to know alot about him friend. What are his thoughts on cuticles (you know, those plastic endings they put on shoestrings)?

The Question believes that their true purpose is sinister. Maybe Dwight feels otherwise...

Re: Game Discussion Thread 1/9/12 - 1/15/12

This has nothing to do with KB because was able to do it without a stellar supporting cast. Dwyane Wade was able to do it without a stellar supporting cast.

Maybe Dwight needs to look in the mirror and realize he just doesn't have that will to win. Barkley did and he never won a chip. It's always easier to blame your teammates and management.

The statue stuff is irrelevant.

I'll take this stuff to the Dwight thread if you want to continue..

Come again?? Kobe and Wade have never done anything close to what Dwight has done with a sub par cast. Without Shaq neither guy did nothing worth writing home about. After Shaq Kobe missed the playoffs then lost in the first round two straight years. It wasn't until they got Gasol(another all star) that he got back to the top. Before Shaq Wade lost in the second round. After Shaq they had the worst record in the league then back to back first round defeats.

Dwight has lead a team to a NBA finals and a ECF with nothing close to what those guys won titles with. To compare what Dwight has done to what Kobe and Wade did without Shaq is not even close and shouldn't be mentioned at all.

He's not crazy about 'em. Prefers velcro.
