Sources: Dwight was working out on the bike during practice

Whenever a team is in the process of making a trade for a player they want, the team trading the player wants to ensure that a freak injury doesnt nullify the trade. Besides, was really irritated with the explanation that we got from him today about why Canaan didnt get burn. Mchale claims: that the Lakers were playing big, so we had to adjust with Terry and Papa running the show as opposed to Canaan. No doubt I agree on Mchale's idiocy, but he may have been told to only use Canaan if absolutely necessary. This is why we saw him so late vs Memphis who had beno udrich off the bench playing back up PG. Mchales 790 comments were just a smoke screen.

 

Now, don't some of you feel stupid? The moment times got hard you jumped all over Dwight and parroted the national narrative that he was soft... Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves..

 

So now (Thanks Clutch) we know it's legit, we can stop with all the random speculation about it.

Is it though, the same knee he injured this year that prompted him to wear the knee pads? If so, I'm getting worried about it, wish we knew more. Like if he was dealing with swelling in the knee or if it just sore or something.

 

Oh well...If it improves the team, hello whoever it is.

 

No, that was just my mistake

But, then where the heck was he?

 

Definitely more likely he's just tweeting about not playing anymore rather than worrying about a trade.

 

we've already won more games than the sixers will end up having

 

Thanks for the clarification Clutch. Cyberx wasn't really helping much with the rumors TBH. With the whole Adrien Peterson thing, and every other sports scandal out there, its hard not to think "here we go again". At the end of the day, its one loss, and a week of bad basketball from the Rockets. They are professional basketball players, and I promise you one thing... They aren't going to lose 70 more games in a row.

 

Jesus, runaway speculation and conspiracy theories around here are ridiculous. Obviously the locker room would be tense after a loss. You'd find that on every team. And sometimes injuries flare up without a warning. You've got to protect your assets (Dwight), especially at the beginning of the season.

 

very good...but bike...no hit back!

*walks away

 

Dwight is a good guy, I really love him on our team and completely disagree with the lack of effort bs. Dude gives it his all. It may look like he's taking it easy sometimes but he's probably saving himself from injury. We saw how much he hustled during the post season when everything was on the table.

 

thanks again

my gut feeling is that dwight's just as enthusiastic about winning with this team as we are, and it's probably killing him not to be on the floor. anyways, let's just hope for the best and he comes back next week.

 

I don't think that was it --

I appreciate you saying something. Not that you need my advice but you may want to make this it's own thread so it is clear to everyone. I understand the speculation based on the close proximity of the child abuse allegations and Jeff Taylor punishment, coupled with Dwight's last year in Orlando.

 

Clutchfans after a loss, injury or hearing gossip...



Thanks for clearing things up Clutch, Dwight is also about to go through a messy custody battle, that the media (thanks in no part to the Lakers Lovefest) is going to heavily publicise & scrutinise...I assume not in Dwight's favour.

It would be good to nip rumours in the bud, especially on this issue.

 

This is a good point and one that is forgotten... Harden, Lin, Parsons, Jones and the coaching staff all were poor in the playoffs... The one guy that brought it at an MVP/Championship level against Portland was Dwight Howard.

 

I really need to stay away from the Garm. Even after wins.


You fickle *****. So many garbage posts. Tmz sports is that way.

 

Jez, Les is cheap. Don't even have spare jackets for the players in the home court?

 

No, Les and the NBA do not pay to put players' health and future quality of life at risk.
