That's the problem, our system right now is not supposed to take the pressure off Dwight. quote: Originally posted by SmackDaddy:*** So which one of these guys is supposed to take the pressure off of Dwight or get his back when play gets even more physical in the postseason? IMO, the only one could be Marcin if we finally trust him and he's able to raise up his game in regular season.

quote: Originally posted by emory889:I guess I shouldn't overlook the fact that he is playing on a gawd awful team. That would have an effect on anybody with an ounce of competitiveness. Like I've said before, I'm not sold on this guy (altough I admit that I haven't seen a lot of his games), but as you said, playing in OKC didn't help him. He also has three more years, so he isn't in a rush for a contract extension and seem a little disinterested. This is not a good sign in term of character, but on the other side, being traded to a very good team which featured Dwight would surely raise up motivations in every player of the league not named Fran...

quote: Originally posted by ThisIsTheYear:Simple answer: Yes. Long answer: Yes, what Kramer said. LOL and agree. Yes to Sheed, he would really be The Answer for our team. But the only possibility right now is signign him as a free agent, we have absolutely nothing that the Pistons would want back for him.

Dude, no disrespect, but Jameer has been playing TERRIFIC even before his injury. You must have the preseason in mind, he was indeed awful then. You must watch the games yourself, don't let other people's blind perceptions about a player cloud your thoughts. I really think that Meer has been the most consistent player not named Dwight until know. BTW, Magic Berto, your new sig is wonderful!!!

LOL! I will bet on the rim too...

Lewis putback was really amazing but no love for him in the top ***(LeBron)*** 10.

Best win of the year. Our defense was great, only 38 points allowed in the second half. I promise that I'll see the Turkish streaming everytime I can!!! :=)

Shard has really left me speachless...

We really need to control defensive rebounds. It's the only think that is not working in the last few minutes.

quote: Originally posted by ThisIsTheYear:Cooks the best shooter on this team, I am NOT lying. Every time he gets an open look, it's money. I was thinking the same. Problem is: it's the only thing he does well on a regular basis...

quote: Originally posted by OnlyIntelPosts:The Magic are just really lucky that Boozer is also injured, and since we dont have Dwight it kinda evens out. Because if they had Boozer, and a Healthy Deron William (best pg in the leauge cough cough)..this would have been ugly Really? So you'll trade Dwight with Boozer straight up?? :=) And we miss another starter too. For me, this was the best quarter of the season, and having make it without Dwight is a big plus. Now we have to keep it up, but it would be difficult.

Someone still think that we can't do nothing without Dwight? Magic Berto, your new sig is wonderful!!!

The Warlock is definitely battling for a future spot in the rotation.

16-1 run to start the second half. Gotta love those guys...

Wow!!! What a block by Dwight... oh, no, wait, it's the Warlock!!!!

Anyway, what's all this negativity?? Utah is a heck of a team, especially at home, and we're dtill in the game without Dwight and MP. And we're in a back to back after a tough game. I will take it...

Thanks Random, this one is quite good!!

The Cleveland LeBrons had just lost... one good news tonight... maybe now someone will switch to the real game!!!

quote: Originally posted by ThisIsTheYear: quote: Originally posted by Osprey23:I'm stroking out watching this feed. My eyes are bleeding. LOL, is it the TVants one? I didn't even bother with that one. TVAnts need a lot of times to connect, but quality is quite good when you finally start. But this night every tvants link was connecting to a football game... a long wait and waste of time and broadband!!!

Feeds are so bad that I'm listening to the radio in back to back nights... maybe later some justintv channel will switch to our game like yesterday.

quote: Originally posted by SmackDaddy:As much as everybody likes to commend Battie for his professional, blue collar efforts...last night when Dwight left the game, Battie was getting outhustled and outworked to every single rebound and loose ball. He looked pretty pathetic out there actually. True, but clearly Tony is not Dwight, and for him playing alone in the middle of the paint it's a difficult task, he can't handle all the things you have to do when no other big body is playing with you. I like Battie more when he plays together with Howard, and I would like to see him paired with Marcin sometimes.

quote: Originally posted by SmackDaddy:Wouldn't mind trading Hedo right now at all. His shot selection is horrible. He's turning the ball over like crazy. His mediocre defense is even worse this year. We need a friggin PF so that we don't get outrebounded every game. Smack, I've proposed a Turk-Okur swap a few times, but no-one is answering to that, so I don't know if it's considered a bad deal, a impossible deal, or something else. My points are: - Utah has a lot of PF and not enough money to resign them all (Okur could terminate his contract this year like Hedo) - Okur is not a great defender by any means, but Hedo is not too. At least Okur has size, takes more rebounds and he could shot the three so we don't have to change our style so much. And he has quite a history of last second shots (another Mr. Fourth quarter???) Clearly, we would need to have a verbal agreement with him for a extension... but this is going too far. What you think about him?

quote: Originally posted by Skywise316:He provided a big time spark off the bench, and did anyone else notice Lee playing deep into the 4th??) Yes, and I was really asking myself why K-Bo didn't check back in the game. I mean, C-Lee was playing well, but Stan often prefer to finish the game with Keith, and he was quite hot last night (if we forget his errors on fastbreaks) And in the last play, I would have used Bogans (or JJ) instead of Marcin, in 2,7 second that's probably no time for a offensive rebound, so Gortat was in only for screens purpose. The Warlock has a really strange destiny. He didn't log any minute or he suddenly have to play a lot of meaningful minutes... I can't believe that we actually made a run with him and Cook together on the floor. Our bench is answering well when needed, and I would love to see Stan to give them more opportunities even if there aren't injuries. We definitely have some big bodies to protect Dwight more, we only need to use them more. Anyway, this one was a good loss, our guys gives it all and hopefully there wouldn't be any bad effect on our morale. This night is going to be a even more tough game, so we have to be ready for that.

You can't always win those kind of games, but I'm really happy for the effort.
