Guest Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Russia actually was first to the moon but an analyst botched the landing codes and their ship missed the mark by a matter of about 5 miles. Those brave astronauts are halfway to Uranus by now. True story. That analyst's name? Dwight Howard. Yours truly, @Lurker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only like it because your golden boy, Dwight Howard is seen as one of the best players in the NBA if you go by it. Dwight Howard is, make no mistake, an absolutely TERRIBLE player that should NOT be in the NBA at all. He is MEANINGLESS and make no mistake, the Hawks LOSE the series if he is still treated like a star caliber player. No. I've been using this site as a reference for years. Their ORtg and DRtg are definitely accurate to what you see out on the floor. I'm not even a Dwight Howard fan, but I'm not a hater either. According to nba.com in the regular season, Taurean Prince was #5 in the league in defensive rating. Malcolm Delaney was #14. Do you really believe that? Stephen Curry is #20, by the way http://stats.nba.com/players/advanced/#!?sort=DEF_RATING&dir=-1&CF=MIN*GE*15&Season=2016-17&SeasonType=Regular Season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It throws out PNR defense and makes only 1 on 1 straight up defense and efficiency matter. It is not all that matters, and yes, your boy, DWIGHT sucks at everything.

Can't you pull up actual numbers on Dwight's pick and roll defense? Post them please, to show how awful he was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Dwight Howard in PNR defense: 1.06 PPP 47.4% FG (53.8% EFG)....28.8% percentile. Oh its bad. It's real bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's his way or the highway unless he is GUARANTEED that he will win games in a role. Dwight in the post is TERRIBLE offense. Every Dwight post touch is a mistake. Unless you suddenly transplant Dwight to Golden State or sign LeBron, Dwight will be Dwight. Calm down Lurker...I hope that you are a young person because you appear to be a little high strung. I don't know what this is between you and Howard but you shouldn't get your blood pressure up over it unless you truly are James Harding, Kobe or one of his baby mama's. in any event, let's just take a wait and see approach to the Howard situation. Hopefully Bud will live up to his hype as this master coach and get more out of Dwight this up coming season. If Dwight can lean out like Sap did this past season, we should see a much better Howard next season. And if he does improve, you should be happy because you are a Hawks fan. If he improves and you are still unhappy then we know there is indeed another hidden agenda in play. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll cry and moan if he can't get to "post". Doesn't matter who coaches him, as he's a coach and GM killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 True story. There actually were w.m.d.'s in Iraq. Unfortunately, a military contractor inadvertently tipped off Sadaam himself in a rambling, drunken soliloquy that got him ejected from a Saudi brothel. That contractor's name .... Dwight Howard.

Thats the guy who walked away with six million in cash I believe. Not so inadvertent. Sorry for actually being real for a moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
