Dwight Howard has changed

He's been playing poorly yes, but the biggest thing I've noticed is how his demeanor has changed. He seems deflated and unspirited lately. I wonder if that's a result of his bad play, or if his bad play is a result of his current mental state.

For some reason or another though, Dwight seems unhappy/frustrated. I think once that turns around, he'll return to the D12 that we love.

 

Am I the only one who feels like not a whole lot has changed? I never understood what the fuss was about. When we signed him and McHale, Parsons, etc as well as many posters on here were praising his post game, it never seemed like he was worth posting up. He's gotten worse with his bum knee but it's not like he went from being Hakeem to Andris Biedrins overnight.

 

Is that why he's best friends with Josh Smith?

 

Fallacious? It is not fallacious to say that perhaps these two have been reinforcing each other's lazy/ me first mentalities since they see each other all the time now.

We win last night if Dwight sits. Period. The way he has played the first quarter of every game in the last couple weeks is absolutely inexcusable. I see 10x more effort from scrubs playing pickup ball at the park. This is the NBmother****ingA and Howard needs to act like it, otherwise park his ass on the bench until "his pwecious little knee-knee fweels bettah..... Little baby.....

For the first time I am ready to trade his ass. The fact that he said "I want to do everything I can to help my team" then he drags ass, cant get a rebound, cant make a post bucket, cant make free throws.... THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO TO HELP YOUR TEAM IS GET THE **** OFF IT.

 

Replacing Bogut/Draymond/Klay with Barbosa/Livingston/Lee probably also had a little to do with it.

 

Imagine if he would get the Josh Smith waive treatment from Detroit...lol, NBA would explode. And we'd go on a 15 game win streak!

 

Yall are silly for thinking his knee is hurting. He wouldn't be doing all the flashy dunks and windmills dunks in warmups

 

you are silly if you think a player like dwight can't dunk with his knee hurting

 

The fact that he is averaging less than 1 block a game since December shows that he is just coasting and try to be healthy for the playoff.

Right now he is not giving effort

 

C'mon, he doesn't always get stripped, get a charge, or miss... Sometimes he makes a lazy ass pass out of a double team and turns it over.

But regardless, yeah. We need to stop posting him up IMMEDIATELY.
