"I WANT TO WIN THE SERIES SO BADLY THAT I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO DWIGHT'S CAREER" Clint Capela Not a real quote obviously, but it would be so satisfying to see Capela have a breakout performance.
I think Barkley will have to kiss Kenny Smith's ass again. Hell, I'll get in line too and pucker up if that happens.
I am not saying that you are saying this but I have to get something off of my chest. This Not sure when praying and asking others to pray became so taboo?? People have prayed for eons and miracles happen. What is wrong with our society? It's practically like saying all of our forefathers were freaks and didn't know anything. Rant over. Pray for Howard. Read Matthew 18:19. Says it all.
Our society has become one that is focused on "political correctness" and tries harder to avoid offending anyone than living out their own beliefs. Back to the subject, Dwight should be fine. If he sits tonight, he will be back game 3 and looking pretty close to playoff Dwight again. It is that time of year and he knows that he may not get an opportunity like this again. Nothing is guaranteed. He will step up. I honestly would not be surprised to see Dwight suit out tonight and play limited minutes and dominate the minutes he is on the court. He will want to contribute in any way he possibly can.
The "political correctness" thing appears to be very one sided. As long as you conform to the secular perspective of things you are fine. If on the other hand you are anyway religious, especially Christian, you are a nut case.
Perhaps because for eons, to quote what a poster above used, not conforming to the Christian perspective of things made one a nut case (Not trying to take this to the D&D!). Prayers, good vibes, and ceremonial dances Dwight stays healthy. Go Rockets!
for tonight, I'm perfectly fine with it. As long as he plays 20+ we are in good shape to steal one. For the series? I'm not sold on it. He needs to either play through the pain or he needs to sit it out. This is the WCF and he needs to realize that this could be his best chance at a Championship. If we win 4 out of the next six games we are going to the NBA Finals. Quit posting up, be the garbage man you don't want to be and dunk the freaking ball. We don't need Hakeem. You aren't Hakeem. Play to your strengths and stop worrying about your reputation because leading a team to the championship fixes any notions of you being a whiner or a quitter. If Fegan is telling you to monitor your minutes and you feel apt to play, fire him. There are hundreds of other agents who can do the same thing Dan does for you. A Max contract won't be hard if you can prove you're a winner.
Depends. If he's effective in those minutes, that's fine. We can win with 20-25 minutes of Playoff Dwight(or something close to it). Although it'll require everyone else elevating their game. Otherwise we're looking at Game 4 vs the Clippers all over again.
It was proven that we couldn't beat good teams (Spurs twice) with Dwight being on a minutes restriction. Capela could change that.
The team luckily has some experience in playing with Dwight on a minute restriction granted as sammy pointed we lost to the Spurs that way but the Spurs are not the Warriors. The Warriors like to play small so that may work in our favor in some ways. I think we need to role out a lineup of this if we're going to play "small' Smith KOSTAS Brewer Ariza Harden Jones isnt really doing much and Kostas gives us another outside shooter and play maker, I loved what Kostas brought to the team early in the season he lost most of his PT once Brewer and Smith/Jones came back even prior to his injury but we need him now more than ever
