Dwight Howard

May 25, 2012 – Allen Moll Not surprisingly, defensive oriented squads like Boston, Miami, and Chicago were well represented on the 2012 NBA All Defensive Teams.  But, I’d be remiss if I didn’t comment on how some players were added [...]

May 22, 2012 – Dan Favale The Orlando Magic sent a message Monday when they parted ways with head coach Stan Van Gundy and general manager Otis Smith. Did I write message? I’m sorry, I mean held up a white flag. [...]

May 9, 2012 – Dan Favale Reality is setting in for the Orlando Magic, and it’s not pretty. Now that Orlando’s postseason is officially over, the Dwight Howard saga that dominated headlines for much of the season is poised to rear its ugly head once again, this time, potentially destroying the entire organization. [...]

May 8, 2012 – Dan Favale The Dallas Mavericks were eliminated from the NBA playoffs Saturday night, an exit that not only ends their attempt to defend last year’s title, but ends their championship hopes for the foreseeable future.

Smith (via CBS) is reporting a tip from someone in Dwight Howard’s camp that he will be demanding a trade as soon as Orlando is eliminated from the playoffs. Howard apparently is fed up with the organization and how they have treated him. Pay special [...]

The obvious replacement would be Andrew Bynum, but he too will have to go under the knife and will be unavailable. Lakers center Andrew Bynum is not interested in playing in [...]

April 20, 2012 – Griffin Gotta This time next week will officially be NBA Playoffs Eve; with six days left to decide who plays whom and who will qualify in the lower half of each respective conference’s standings, this is essentially a final reminder to breathe deeply and try to get any pressing matters taken [...]

April 20, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors This almost seems like karma for the way in which he conducted himself while he was a free agent. We’re not happy Dwight is hurt, but it just seems ironic. It will be very interesting to see if he is in fact traded this summer. “Dwight has been [...]
