all the traveling violations and fouls called against him are legit. The replays clearly show it. Stop the complaining after every call... it's a bad look. Besides that, keep playing like an MVP.
If somebody is going to call Dwight about this, they should probably call every single player in the NBA and let them know as well.
All of them are legit? Seen to many flops this year to agree with you. But I do agree that he has been an MVP type player in the month of December. If he keeps it up, he should finish top 5.
If the travel is a result of a push by the defender, I would say those are debatable. Yes, he did travel, but yes, it could also have been called a foul. I've seen quite a few non calls against DH. It makes what he's doing all the more impressive (same stuff Yao dealt with).
The majority of superstar players complain to the refs when calls go against them. It's called working the referees. Nothing to see here. Kobe, Lebron, Paul, Wade, etc. Also this is legit. Lots of his travels recently have been the result of referees allowing defenders to push him off balance during his moves. Yeah he traveled and he probably knows it, but he is arguing for the foul call. Perfectly acceptable.
Right, what about the traveling calls? He's clearly picking up his pivot, then acting like he did nothing. If someone one the team would tell him, maybe he could make the adjustment so he wouldn't have anything to complain about in the first place. I just don't want dude to be in denial about anything... it's not good for Dwight or the team. Yesterday, the fouls were called fairly for both teams, but Dwight still had something to say every whistle.
Tim Duncan and Tony Parker get away with it a lot, Tony is constantly taking 3 or 4 steps to the rim, and Duncan is a foot shuffler extrodinaire. DD
Just wish he would stop complaining after ever call on him. I can see a blatant foul or bad call sometimes, but when it's ever call that doesn't go his way.. There has been a couple of times this year that he just stopped playing to complain and had the other team score a easy basket. Leave the b****ing and complaining for Tim Duncan and Kobe and keep playing.
Random question but decent bread for it. If an offensive Ayer is fouled, then clearly travels - as a result of the fouled or otherwise - but is nonetheless in the act of shooting, shoots and hits - Shiism the basket count for the and one? I've seen this happen often and the ref usually ignores the "travel"
I just texted him the link to this thread. He says thank you, he had no idea. He also wants some Skittles and he put a LOL and a smiley face after it. Freak.
True, but I wouldn't say anything if the travels were induced by fouls. At least twice vs SA Dwight picked up his pivot to gain an advantage. I just want him to recognize what he's doing and make the adjustment.
There are constant travels and fouls that are not called in an NBA game. You get more calls your way if you push back than if you don't.
Exactly Also, if Dwight can understand what errors he's making, he can fix it. Better for him and the team.
