Man, I know you watch these games, but as I said what Howard did was make sure he was around not in foul trouble to WIN the game in OT. The other games this series he was definately embarassing the cavs, when allowed in the game by the refs. The calls against him were on the whole BS, and TNT, and some ESPN analysists are were talking about it. Dwight did as good as could be expected. On the play where AV was wide open are you sure that was Dwight's assignment??? the game plan at that time was definately to double team LBJ, I can't say that that wasn't Dwight's assignment, or that whether some one else was supposed to switch, I don't have inside info on Magic defensive scheme and erased game off of DVR, so can't watch it again, but to call anyone Iffy defender over one or two plays again, when he effects and causes damage to the other teams offense every play, andeven before the game starts just IMO isn't really paying attention. Dwight is the best defensive player in NBA, easily.

Yeah, I'm sure Shaq would happily set his massive ego aside to be Dwight's mentor. Just think of what his presence would do to this locker room. LOL, like I said he'd be a great BACK UP to Dwight.

quote: Originally posted by Jareth Cutestory:Mike Brown boggles my mind. The guy was ready to buy AV a steak dinner for basically getting tangled up with Dwight on the last play of regulation. The guy seems like he wants to be more of a cool parent then an actual teacher and coach. That's their game plan, throw Dwight on the floor, foul him all play every play, and get the T on him. Other teams do this too foul him all game every second of every play and the refs call some fouls at first, and then by half time they are tired of blowiing the whistle for that and only call foul when the other team punches, throw him down Horse collar tackle him. Again this is illegal in NFL, don't know why it is not in NBA

OK on this part just the lies portion, I agree LBJ is not as good as KOBE, and definately MJ, but does get even more support from refs than both put together. LBJ is an extraordinary defender though, as much as I hate him he is. The cavs never have been the best team, any one who ever thought that, again just dosen't watch B ball. It seems to me this guy dosen't watch, or even know what good defense is, I disagree completely every time he discusses it. Agree again MB is crappy coach, good defensive coordinater though. Agree Superman is stupid nick name and already used by shaq, although he is not referring to originality of name. Again Dwight is easily the DPOY, not even close

Obviously get 7th T on Dwight, more grabbing Dwight, and flopping, more throwing the ball at him, more elbowing throats, and then cry SINNER when player angrily turns the other cheek, and begg refs for victory in game 5

Read my Quotes, He called Dwight a "Iffy" defender. And on a whole Dwight played great D, the entire game. He did have to hold back alot, being careful not to get into foul trouble, but if you have been watching these games, howard has been playing almost flawless d, especially against james, and still getting whistled for minor if any contact. What he did was make sure he was still around to win this game in OT, yet still effect the entire teams offensive ability, and mind set, ... they were scared to enter the paint, pretty much every one is, except LBJ, which I already discussed he gets a foul on dwight when All ball blocks go down his throat, I don't understand what more he could do. Honestly.

Sorry Gasol gets rag dolled by Howard, and while Bynum is got plenty of room for improvement and D12 would school him. Physically they can actually play even where usually the refs let other guys grab, bite, punch elbow, double hand check, hockey check and yes horse collar tackle Dwight usually because they say he is so much stronger than them they have to do that. Bynum can physically hold his own, and should be able to stand in there and at least actually play by the rules against Dwight even if he gets beat alot. But Bynum and Dwight have the ability to bring back the Center position, and team basketball to NBA. I don't know why media isn't pushing this, especially Bill Walton types. Gasol matches up with Rashard.

I'd take Shaq back here, in a second he would be a great back up to Dwight. Actually perfect.

How bout Gortat being nothing, cough...BSHHHT!!! Never watched him play, fuel for my case of idiot who talks without first thinking. Magic live by 3... again hasnt been watching playoffs. We havn't shot well from 3 most of playoffs, yet still win ie evidence of moronic statement by said writer. Obvious to anyone who actually watches us we win with D, and our "Iffy" definate DPOY, no one else is even close to being able to affect entire other teams offensive strategy, although some can take away one player. SVG did double LBJ at end of regulation... DUHH again LBJ pushed off horribly to get away, Idiot watch the game before writing on it. GRHHHRRRGHR!!!!!!

quote: Originally posted by Jackie Treehorn:I don't see what the problem is. What in the article isn't true? Mostly when he is critical of Dwight's Defensive game, "IFFY," Please!!! We are winning with D period, and his mere presence is grossly effects every game he plays in, matter of fact every play of every possession he causes problems, he is easily the best defensive player, not even close anywhere else. Also saying the refs arn't favoring the LBJ's is moronic, anyone objectively watching these games has to be wondering, the other team throws balls at us, elbows us in the throat, Horse collar tackle dwight most plays he touches the ball, centers double and with help tripple hand check Dwight on most of his offensive possessions, calls are overturned, when replay clearly shows contrary, we are turning the other cheek in these situations and still getting T's, consecutive 3 seconds to start last game where no one was in the box... NO ONE, LBJ taunting after every dunk, but Dwight getting T'd for pumping his fist, I can do this all day, and no our team is not loosers. I do have to agree with this guy Kobe is the best player in B-ball which he actually dosen' t directly say. How bout when he talks about LBJ, cause IMO he does most of his damage with fantom fouls, and has been a very poor sport this series, and whines every time he dosen't get a call, which isn't often, cause he usually gets the call. again this could go on all day.

I would love and have been waiting for a orlando La series, the matchups would be very fun to watch. Young centers Bynum and Howard match up Should be just as hyped as kobe Vs LBJ. NBA dosen't appreciate Post play anymore, and it is sad.

What I learned from reading this. 1. I just wasted my time 2. This guy obviously dosen't watch these games, only watches the ESPN short clips of LBJ dunking even though the magic won the game, we must have done something worthy of watching if we won. 3. this guy is an idiot. 4. there is no truth to this article at all 5 I can't believe i am still typing

Maybe our team should ask the NBA to review that play citing a "Horse Collar Tackle" which is illegal in the NFL, and has to be illegal in the NBA. Then Verajo should get a flagrant 2, and Dwight's T removed. Can they actually remove it? and when will we know???

That elbow was no more intentional than AJ's, that being said if, IF the officiating were consistent, then a flagrant 2 is in order, and should be reviewed. Again I don't think it was intentional, neither was AJ's the difference is Peaches is a man and didn't lie on the court and cry like a little girl pleading for the refs to fix the game for him.

Magic Johnson was just on NBA Shootaround giving much respect to Dwight for stepping up and being a star in game 3, also he gave props to "Marcin GortaK" I think he means Gortat but still we will take any love we can get right now.

Didn't see it, I wonder if we can find it on youtube, or any kind of video, picture of it. Like the guy in the other post said about this, it was unbelievable none of the Cheerleaders got whistled for a foul.

I guess that kind of mistake is ok from the x players who are there for the nostalgia value, or face recognation but it shows how much these guys actually watch and study these teams. Glad that some one is actually paying attention. Also still the Lebron Vs Kobe conversation about to happen.

The blood on the knee was from when he dove on the court after the loose ball a few minutes earlier, the refs allowed him to play while bleeding any way, ie the rules don't apply to LBJ. The cramping was secondary to PMS, and possibly sand in the vag. The tears in his eyes, were because the refs didn't GIVE him # 11, and 12 free throw attempts.

Do the Celtics have another come from behind, Last second, Buzzer beater, Pulled from out of their..., With everything going their way, or will the BETTER team Prevail??? Seriously we have been the better team every game so far, the celtics have just been lucky. Can they keep it up?

D-Nasty. What does the D stand for? Defense? Dominate? Destroy the Celtics? Dunktastic? Dunktacular? Dunkadelic? DeMan? DipsyDoDunkaroo? Deltoids? Defense? Depressed opponent, Doooouuu!, DunkinDonuts after game 7, Don't Push me? Defensive player of the year,or maybe just Dwight. he could also have a pre altered ego as D-nice, who is not going to show up to Game 7.
