You just showed how low your basketball IQ is. You think Artest instead of Evans or Bogans would have us in the lottery??? An Artest and his defense would make big difference in playoff basketball.

Why is there no live press conference on nba.com?

SVG SPEAKS!!
Dwight Howard on his FT struggles:

"I just think everybody needs to stop talking about it," Howard said. "There's more to life than free throws."

Disagree. Howard made good moves. Just couldn't finish on a few that he should have.


im not mad because he missed some shots, but when we focus on dwights offense, it throws the whole team off. it needs to come naturally, and dwight has to just lock down the paint, not focus so much on offense.

Well usually when we don't look to throw it into Dwight, we just chuck 3's with no rhythm. I think we look our best offensively when we are feeding Dwight.

theTHIEF wrote:the number of calls have nothing to do with it being a good or bad reffed game..there were bad calls all over...both ends...about 50% of those calls were bad...i mean, did the NBA ban screen and rolls? how many bad calls were there on that play alone? sure about 3 of them between the two teams were warranted...but c'mon...

the only reason it wasnt all ball was because Bosh stepped into it and pushed his hands up...Nelson had the ball on the underside and started the breakout...doesnt really matter though...it's not a big deal...just laughable as hell...


100% agree from a Raptors fans. I thought they called the game pretty fairly except for the pick and rolls.

I think you're both correct. There are times when it can bog it down when constantl going into Dwight, but there are also times when it's an absolute necessity. A lot of it depends on how the team is shooting. When guys are hitting the outside shot, get the ball to Hedo and let him create for himself or others. If the shots aren't going down, then the offense really should run through Dwight.

How does it feel being down 2-1 knowing your only chance of winning the series is to beat us three times in four games? :wink:
