Lol where you Dwight haters now? What a cancer Dwight is Only reason the Rox aren't missing Dwight is because Nene took a massive paycut to play on this team. If he hadn't signed for vet min with the way Capela has been playing I doubt we even beat OKC.
It's not so much that he's a cancer it's just that he's not a winner except in his own mind and he's not worth the salary and cap hit he's currently demanding, either. If you offered me Dwight Howard at $12 million/yr and he just wanted to help the team win a championship and didn't care about how many touches he got or who on the team was getting more kudos than him, then he's a good option. He still wouldn't be a second option, maybe not even a third option on a championship team but he could hold the line at center and be a solid piece to a championship team. But at his current salary and considering his limited athleticism and immature behavior, no thanks. Glad he's gone. Only Dwight can fix Dwight at this point and he needs to come to terms with the fact that he's not one of the best centers in the game anymore, he's a solid role player now.
You sound dumb because this is the first game he's showed up. Besides, the issues were with his attitude and unwillingness to accept his role more so than his ability to play. And if we didn't have Nene the team obv would've acquired another big lol.
All the talk that this year was going to be different (i.e. Washington, Boston were going to give Cleveland a challenge) has proven to be just hogwash. Same ole, same ole.
Lol! I'm reading these comments thinking, what the hell happened!? I decided to watch supergirl instead... smh
What's the point of talking about Nene, though. That's like saying had Horford not left, ATL wouldn't have signed Dwight and wouldn't miss him one bit.
Gortat just fell backwards into Beal's knee. Eerily similar to how Gortat threw Zaza into Durant's knee. Beal looks OK tho.
To your point, in a world where Ryno is making $18 million a year, Dwight is justified in his request for $23. And looking at the few Hawks games that I have, even if he has not bought into not being a primary focus on offense... having a competent coach on the bench he doesn't seem to be pouting as much, unless I am missing it... i could be. But he is not paint camping and playing the rebound for his offensive opportunities. Hell Taureen Prince seems to be more a focus than he. Milsap, Schroeder and Hardaway look to have their numbers called long before Howard. But I will agree... having to have paid Dwight $23 million this year would have been more costly that it's worth when we were able to get Ryno, EG and Nene,,, it's a decent tradeoff. But he is playing well for Atlanta and game 4 was his first big showing in the playoffs thus far.
Dwight clearly yelled "that's fcking bullshit man!" at the ref after that goaltending call. If he was still on the Rockets, he would have been ejected, fined, and executed.
I don't think you're missing it, but you know Dwight is always the perfect guy in the lockeroom at the begin...let's see in 12/24 months...
Hawks are getting bad breaks from the refs. Very questionable calls. Millsap got his 3rd before halftime and dude is not a foul machine.
I can see why some of you guys like Millsap so much. Guy can do just about everything. Would Atlanta entertain an Anderson for Millsap trade with us?
