    And it almost cost us the game.

    If JBB has any brain cell left, he should let Capela or Josh Smith guard Speights in stead of Dwight the next game, but we know it ain't gonna happen because JBB is a legit r****d...

    Dwight's patented one hand stretch out while Speights drains another open jumper.

    Capela have play really poor, but you can do nothing about speights hitting 3 and long jumpers. The defense have to make sure to rotate and help on those we need Dwight to stay protecting the paint and getting rebound, GS is using speights to pull Dwight away from the basket, JBB need to adjust for that.

    If Dwight can't guard perimeter shooters because he's not quick enough, then his minutes need to be cut down drastically and only be allowed to play when Bogut is on the court.

    dwight could have fouled speights out in the paint in under 6min, but JB is too f'n r****ded to exploit that matchup down low. instead, JB prefers other plays such as ariza driving in from the arc.

    Have you never watched him play before? He's always money on the mid range against us

    Has nothing to do with Dwight, we don't have the personnel. Speights will overpower Capela or Smith inside, and he will shoot on the outside.

    We don't have anyone who can guard him, especially with how well they set him up for perimeter shots.

    What we should do is keep playing Howard because he's the only one who's consistently scoring against Speights and we should keep switching because Green and Bogut are much easier contained on the inside.
