Going Commando Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 That's a ****ing dumb thing for his trainer to say. You don't get to just evolve into someone whose been dribbling and shooting from the perimeter their entire lives at age 32. I want Dwight in the paint at all times except when he's setting high screens. If he could just be the Orlando version of himself, we will win an ass load of games. I did a season of the MyCareer mode on NBA2K on the Wizards. Made a center who specialized in athletic finishing and defense. Basically a DeAndre Jordan. No skills whatsoever. I only averaged like 13 points per game, all coming from putbacks and pick and rolls. But I also averaged liked 30+ good screens a game and over 16 rebounds and the team had the #1 defense by a huge margin and it went 74-8 in the regular season and 16-0 in the playoffs. Point being dominant inside play makes it easy to win, but you don't get the ball and you don't get to score. It's all about relentlessly grinding away in the screen game and on the glass and making sure opponents don't get easy looks at the rim from inside. It's unglamorous and it's exhausting, but it's how you win. There is a reason Bill Russell is a top five player and won 37 championships even though ignorant revisionists **** on him for only averaging 15 PPG. I am skeptical that Dwight has the toughness, the drive, the legs, and the vigor left to play this role for us. We need to get someone young and high motor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I'd be happy if Howard wasn't murdered by his teammates. Guy seems universally hated everywhere he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Re: the Buckner quote Brave, My point is that I don't want Dwight thinking about trying to evolve into Davis or Durant for a minute. That part wasn't taken out of context, that was the trainer telling us Dwight is trying to change to a more perimeter-oriented game. That is a hare-brained idea. He will never be able to do what they can do. But nor can they do what Dwight was able to do when he was actually a great player. If he wants to model his game after other players, then model it after Gobert. It just feels to me that Dwight has been playing for himself for so many years that he's forgotten how to play winning team ball. He's become a mercenary.

At least I'm hoping that the ones where he looks slim are recent. Some of that footage looks old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skin'emAlive Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 That lion came out of nowhere. I know for a fact this man had nothing but 2 acres of blank canvas draped around his neck up until this Instagram post. That’s some quick work.
