Dwight Howard: Shots Fired at coaching - minutes management

He also said something about having and knowing our go-to-plays for the tough moments.

 

Should have just included the 2nd half of the quote:

 

The only players he could be taking about are Parsons and Harden, but I have a feeling he's talking more about the latter.

 

I'm a Dwight fan but this guy should not be telling coaches what to do after the whole Dwightmare in LA/Orl.


Please Dwight be quiet and do your job and just play basketball.

 

*talking about

 

I read the link, but I read that as Howard feeling starters don't trust the bench players to pick up the slack. That they need to trust each other's abilities as players.

 

Talk about being overdramatic. There is no reason to believe that these conversations aren't openly discussed in the locker room as well, and addressed by the coaches.

Dwight is one of the only true veteran players on this team, and I'm glad if he's taking the leadership role to tell guys how they can help and hurt the team. Seems to me like his only message is team first, personal glory second... This is a young team with about 12 guys trying to make a name for themselves..... It is what it is....Dont see anything wrong with what he said.

 

All the more reason McHale needs to go. This team is very immature and needs a strong head coach that can get players to buy in. It seems obvious some of these players, Harden in particular, are in their own little world.

 

From all the interviews I've seen of Dwight so far, he actually seems very level-headed and speaks the truth. Now, all he needs to do is demand to be the leader of this team by being more vocal. He needs to get in the ears of the younger players.

 

Translation: If the coaches can't do it, we have to take it upon ourselves to manage our minutes.

 

Maybe DH12 = Torocan afterall, who blasts Mchale for poor minutes mamagement.

 

lol I thought he really took shots at the coaching staff like complaining type stuff title is misleading to me

 

Why Dwight sounds like a LOF, bad-mouth teammate and coach?

Clutch, ban Dwight!

 

Paging Omer Asik. Your party is requesting some effort, or at least the appearance of effort. Thank you!

 

yup, right, this speech only meant to comprehend by adult.

 

I like what he said

 

You're reaching. It's not uncommon for starters, especially the top ones, to decide I'd they can stay in a little longer than usual, or even go in earlier. Coaches will trust the players know themselves well enough to make those calls. So, he means what he is saying.

 

Totally confused....had to read it a few times:

First reaction: wth is he saying...starters don't trust the bench guys or is he meaning that only Harden and Parsons don't trust the bench guys so they don't want to come.

Second reaction: Coaches are just not paying attention to the starters and that they don't seem to care that people are getting tired...hence bad D

Third reaction: Dwight is just being Dwight and needed some attention today

@_@

Is this the beginning of some Dwightrauma

To me, he needs to shut it -- keep it in house period. This helps no one

 

Thank you. Yeesh...
