I hope i posted that right. Courtney Lee will definitely not play game 6. I am not looking for Dwight to play either.

From Stan van Gundy after the game (responding to complaints about Howard camping the lane):

“Am I supposed to come up here and talk about the game. Or am I supposed to come up here and lobby for the calls I want the next game?” Van Gundy said. “Is that what it’s about now? We’re supposed to lobby for the calls we want the next game? Let’s just play the games.

“I guess that’s the only reason Dwight’s having success in this series. It has nothing to do with the fact that he’s good.”

From Stan van Gundy after their recent loss to the Cavs at the Q (regarding a 3 second call against Howard near the end of the game):

"You won't see that call again. That, I guarantee you," Van Gundy said. "You will not see, with the game on the line, a 3-second call in the last 10 seconds.

That's part of the reason they're 30-1 at home. They're a very good team, and when you get calls like that [expletive], you're in pretty good shape."

It's almost as if he follows the same script for both quotes, just in mind-bogglingly polar contradiction to each other.

The more he talks, the more confident I feel about beating Orlando when/if we play them.

After seeing Van Gundy in that press conference, I wanted to set his Ron Jeremy Mustache on fire.

With that being said, I'm not for lobbying for calls or complaining about the refs, but when Howard camps in the lane 4-5 seconds at a time on his way to a 20 & 20 performance I think the refs should pay more attention to the lane.

Personally though I think Van Gundy was hitting the panic button in the press conference and lashed out at reporters and Philly's coach because with Courtney Lee out and Howard potentially being suspended, he's scared they're going to lose the series. :chuckles:

Shaq is getting ready to say "I told you so" on TNT with Kenny and Charles.

I wish my star player was more like lebron and didnt cheat all the time to be good... Dwight should just retire cuz he is only good becuz he camps in the lane...

this is why no one wants to be a big man nemore... becuz if you are good, people will find a reason to say u r not

Anyone who tries to justify dwight getting 20/20 because he camps in the lane is insane. plain and simple. does he get away with some 3 secs calls, yes. does everyone else, yes.

but like i said, the way yall treat a good big man is why 7 footers r playin like gaurds now... bash away please

Stop trying to justify his actions. Howard is good but what makes him great is his cheating ways.:chuckles:

but the fact that yall try to say he is only good cuz he cheats is insane...

You're quite sensitive but you also admit he does camp out in the lane so I don't see how you can argue there. :thumbdown

I don't even mind your blatant strawman argument as much as the way you murder the good English language.

its called the internet... i write on here like i write in a text.. so cry a river... but you wonder as a cleveland fanbase why you guys get bashed so much.. this is one of those examples

you know AV does a lot of dirty things... well more in previous years then this year.. but i never complain or call him a little bitch like yall have with howard... its just funny yall are blind to your own players actions...

whhat dwight did was wrong, i will admit that, but he is human and gets frustrated like anybody else

and i would love to take a poll of the league on who gets beat up more... I think Dwight wins in a landslide much like the DPOY

I dont expect any of you to agree with my point of views so I am done arguing it... best of luck the rest of the playoffs I am sure yall will represent the east

What the hell are you talking about? Dwight Howard blatantly swung an elbow at Dalemberts head and somehow you equate that to Varejao being a dirty player? You're desperatly grasping at straws there. Btw, the player that gets beat up more is Lebron James hands down buddy. Don't even try to force feed your Dwight Howard argument here.

 

[patport21]

hence the last part of my post. best of luck

 

[chiefwahoo]

I can't believe we're gonna argue about who gets beat up more... but here is the damning evidence:

Career playoff games for Dwight Howard? 19
Career playoff games for LeBron James? 50

See you in the ECF, if you manage to make it that far.
