SATOLS 7 Report post Posted April 29, 2012 Remember when Dwight had 8 blocks in playoffs. Yeah didn't really see that kind of effort this year. Edit. It was actually 9 and 7 blocks games. I don't actually agree with this. He had a lot of 20-20 games this season. That takes a lot of effort. I think the number of games the Magic played in a compressed schedule and the number of minutes he was played every night required him to use his energy as wisely as possible. One of the biggest mistakes Otis made this season was not bringing in a center to back him up. Baby did a good job in limited minutes in that role, but Stan left Dwight on the floor as much as possible. And even Stan conceded that he left him on the floor too long a lot of nights but that he had no option if the team wanted to win. And he would have had a lot more blocked shots, but the refs called him for goaltending a minimum of once a game. I thought a lot of those calls were questionable, but they definitely weren't for a lack of trying to get them. Hopefully, we can just let this topic die for now and concentrate on the guys who actually are healthy enough to take the court for the Magic right now. If the Magic do have to trade Dwight, it will be a sad day. He has been an important part of our history and played an important role in the Magic's success for the past 8 seasons. His play this season played a big role in the Magic actually being in the playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember when we had a backup center and Dwight could gamble more on defense because he wasn't overly concerned with being able to stay on the floor? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justin Jaudon 221 Report post Posted April 30, 2012 Bynum the next Hakeem? :shard: Closer to Robert Parish. If Robert Parish were thicker with the mentality of a 12-year-old girl with anger issues. 10 pts does not a Dream make. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I played an entire season with a herniated disk that Jewiit recommended surgery for during my junior year of high school, and I wasn't being paid 20mil a season to play.

Didn't realize you had 7 foot, 300 pound men smashing into your back for 40 minutes a game or that your livelyhood was based very heavily on your back's health. But I applaud your bravery, great warrior! :bobafett: 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
