hakeem wants you to control and dominate down low. you don't have to score, just get involved and let the team start running plays. pick and roll, get the big guy involved. I don't care about hardens point total. this ball hogging, jacking 3, ISO crap is getting old.
yes yes, more of this please. I feel well read after reading your post. great job sir!:grin: in before all the other douches torch you*
He looks demanding from his on-court gestures. The guy constantly waves his hands. Teammates aren't looking for him enough and give up too quickly when they do look for him. McHale is either not stressing giving Dwight the ball enough and/or players aren't listening. Oh well, another crap loss... that's 7 by my count. A decent number for an entire season (even great teams have bad losses), but we're barely 1/3 into it... smh.
I agree and well said, sometimes I feel like he more worried about his stats then when the team wins.
Not just Hakeem, Barkley, Shaq, Kenny etc. They all want the big guy to demand the ball. Why the heck you get the best center in the league and just have 10 shots or less per game? They should play inside out more to open up the shooters and slashers. I can't fault Melo for too many iso in NY because there are no other offensive options. But the Rox have the best center and whole bunch of shooters and slashers. Why so many iso craps by Harden and why the coaches not making any adjustment when the iso craps are not falling?
we had all our big legends sit down and recruit Dwight and McHale talk how he was going to utilize d12. what happened?
Do you watch Rockets games? Dwight demands the ball multiple times per game, but he simply gets used as a pump fake.
Harden is becoming like Lin. it's like that sixers game when Lin had 33 pts but gave up 35 and wasnt getting dwight involved
If Dwight had the mentality of the great big men over the years like Hakeem, Shaq, etc., his teammates would be afraid to go back into the locker room after the foolishness that happened tonight and on other nights. Just throw the damn ball in the post. He has been playing at a level to command a double team which would open the offense up and create easier shots. He had good position many times down there in this game with smaller players on him and the Rox just pump faked, threw up a brick, or turned it over. This team as a whole has a very low basketball IQ like their coach.
Dwight may be a superstar, but on this team he's still treated more as a role player (e.g., like Parsons, Lin etc). If he wants a consistent change then he's gotta make it happen.
I completely agree. he really has to make it happen. what bugs me is how the rockets and coaching sells to d12 and the public how we're going to use him. tonights game was one of those games again where we could use him in the post and get other players involved. harden can get his 38 at what expense? no passing, no plays at the end, no touches to the best center in the nba. kings at home? there's no excuse with this kind of talent.
