[MIKE LOWERY]

Dwight's still recovering from the back injury.


When he plays against the Bucks and Blazers he can put up numbers but when you go against a top defense that has no qualms fouling you he gets worn down.


He's still top 5.

IDK what's up with Dwight.

Is it because the paint in clogged up? Is he still playing hurt? Is Kobe effecting his game? Wrong system for him? Or is he just not giving it his all?

One thing people will say about the whole Dwight vs. Shaq debate is that at least Shaq made his free throws when he needed to. Or at least that's what Shaq says

Tonight? Heat played the lanes too well, basically making it more difficult to play inside out which Kobe and Nash have been feeding the past 2 games.

Well then what are you even complaining about? If he's not healthy then of course he won't be as good as he normally is, so why is he expected to be?

What is he expected to do? What do you expect him to do is the question. Should we just clap as soon as he steps on the court because he's still not "healthy"? If you play, you throw all those but but buts into the garbage. You don't feel good get out the way because nobody on the other team cares.

I'm not complaining at all, in fact, I love it.

When he's healthy he's clearly top 5 but I don't see how someone can call him top 5 in his current state.

 

[ballinsam23]

even if he was 100% healthy, he'd still air ball that FT. Hence, he's a bum.

 

[knightngale]

Because 19 y/o TMac had no offensive game compared to 24 y/o Tmac?

20 year old Kobe had not developed his game either

 

[mitchellicious]

Dwight is soft and mentally weak. He needs a coach that will ride him and force the best out of him, while not putting up with his nonsense. That's the reason he hated SVG, but it's also why he played the best in his system

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Starting Center for the West All Stars

 

[onetrust]

Bruh, Lebron took over that game completely on both ends.

Lebron completely shut down Kobe after he got it going and made all the right plays in the 4th.

He's a good NBA player

Battier.

How about this guy ?

 

[mitchellicious]

How about this guy ?

Pop would collect Dwight's tears and then make him bathe in them

That's what I mean. Most casual laker fans have labeled Dwight the scapegoat. It's hilarious



Shane Battier's loveboat rendition.

The Mavs gaining a half game tonight with this L.A. loss

 

[lawdog1]

Man, Chuck really doesn't like the Clippers. I mean, I can understand him saying he thinks OKC and the Spurs are better, but Memphis? Does he not know the Grizz have been blown out in like 3 straight games, including one by the Clippers? And are on the verge of trading one of their best players? Come on, Chuck.

 

[trilluminated]

do ya'll still hate shaq on tnt?

i like it.. 

this fool just told the queen to tweet him.

What Shaq and Dwight debate? Their is no debate. Dwight has never and will never come close to being the player Shaq was.

That was so many Laker fans problem before the season started - once they traded for Dwight every Laker fan was throwing a parade thinking he was Shaq 2.0. That comparison needs to stop, it's not even close, never been.

 

[Bert.]

He's defense is trash, he can't shoot free throws, he doesn't score, his boards are average...... And he's good why?

[americangenius]

The Dwight slander is crazy in here. How are his boards average? His defense has always been pretty good, his presence alone forces teams to take outside shots. His post game and free throws need serious improving however.

Double

Yeah, we remember. You said it 2 years ago when he was the 2nd best player in the league.

And you say that like it's a point of pride. Years ago... you said Dwight Howard was trash on defense and an average rebounder. Really? The guy who anchored the Magic's defense by himself, who was leading the league in rebounds, who was racking up DPOYs. The same guy?

I don't even know if you're trolling anymore, I think you really might believe the absurd things you say on here.
