^^^this isn't as new as they make it sound... Here's something from 2012: https://www.biolayne.com/articles/t...ing-the-next-generation-of-anabolic-exercise/ My issue with this is that Dwight still needs to move his body better from a biomechanical standpoint. All this is doing is allowing him to take it easier on his knees. If he's got issues with movement, then playing and practice alone will keep wearing him down, anyway. He's got a forward head posture. This training isn't fixing that.
Part of it falls on Dwight, but a big part is also the culture we've created about running down chucking from 3, feeding Harden's dribble dribble ego and the idea that we can lift our skirts up and w**** out another FA. None of them are coming here, we fed Dwight a bunch of nonsense and cna't even incorporate him into our offense. There is NO reason dwight should be getting 2 shot attempts a game. Don't feel like spamming, but this vid is relevant in this thread as well. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PusnQhvMJhg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Great post. Will play the video later. But the delusionals told me Harden and Dwight get along really good. They even posted a picture.
I'll be the voice of reason and mention (like I did in the other thread you posted this in) that Dwight and Shaq now share the same agent. Shaq wasn't saying any of this stuff before D12 switched. Also, we know Harden is very willing to share the ball, IF you know what to do with it. If Shaq was playing with Harden he would average 20 FGA a game.
Tnt crew has turned the corner. They now seen enough games to see whats up. Everytime they underservingly bashed Dwight it was ok with Homers. Now the tables have turned, they are blaming Morey and Harden and you come up with this agent bull****. Who exactly are you? Tad Brown, Morey, or just a regular delusional.
I don't think it's relevant if youre saying playing style os the cause of him declining. It's the cause of his stats declining..but he himself is in decline because of physical issues. He cant establish and maintain position like he once did. Being strong in the weight room doesnt always translate to functional strength. A PT can tell you that strong big guys are very much capable of failing basic core strength tests. Dwight cant anchor himself down to back guys down and he cant maintain stability as he executes a shot, which is why he's always flailing around and shooting off balanced. He's also stiff overall...which affects rotational movements, like pivoting and spinning, which is why he cant do what Dream taught him well enough, if at all. All that together affects his ability to score in the post...it's not like they have ignored him since he got here..they tried to make it a point to feed him for almost two seasons and he didn't deliver consistently enough. He'd go baseline off the spin or face up and end up out of bounds most of the time..either because he didnt have the coordination to tight rope that edge or lacked the stability to push through a hand on him. Jump hooks were off balance, mostly because he keeps bending laterally at the waist, so instead of going up with a straighter torso and guiding the shot through his arm-->hand-->fingers, hes guiding it with his whole upper body, as if of his torso was one big hand..results in lack of a soft accurate touch.. So yeah, they dont give him that ball enough, true, but for good reason. He's only consistently effective on the lob or right under the rim.
Yep. Dwight has been extremely stiff and has lacked explosion all year. Combine that with his lack of mental toughness. And you have a failed season. He should look into a psychologist and surround himself with a better personal training team.
Leave it to you to reply with complete made up bull****. At this point if you're defending Dwight's "game" you're blind or have no idea what you're talking about at all. Dwight gets his touches, he doesn't set picks, he does nothing he's supposed too but we are supposed to blame everyone but him despite him being the highest paid player and being in the league over 10 years. Yeah it's someone else fault. He can't shoot jumpers, set real picks, hit his free throws, run back on D etc etc etc. I hope everyone who defends Dwight leaves with him in the offseason. Worse than LOF's.
