At least Duncan can't make fun of Dwight for a lack of championships now

There are ways of doing this without constantly getting in to foul trouble or picking up flagrant fouls.


Not when you're a big man it's so hard to officiate them that he gets called for ticky tack fouls every now and then dwight wants to "earn" one so to speak. that's what you see when he roughs guys up a little. Just earning a foul instead of the ticky tack BS.

Notice Duncan on the sideline.


He was sitting on the scorer's table laughing at Dwight fouling out (or being pulled for foul trouble late in the game--can't remember which) in the midst of a sweep.

Whopppy you beat D12 when he was hurt who was in the Virgin Islands with his boyfriend for 3 weeks this season while D12 was still hooping in the postseason?


Timmy was playing paintball in Texas

And do you REALLY want to start comparing Dwight to Duncan?

Please say yes, Boom. Please.

I dislike maybe 5-6 players in the league. Just so happens 2 of them play on your favorite team.


If you get on an airplane and get bumped up to first class, and you are sitting next to Howard or Harden, I bet you are talking to them, and I bet you are liking them.

We all have those friends that we hate to play sports with that are really cool guys. It sucks that we are so judgmental of how we perceive a player on the court.

Yeah, they don't remember him bricking the three that somehow rebounded to Ray
They may remember the huge 4th quarter by LeBron as he led them back. Then D-Wade came back in and the offense sucked again. LeBron also hit that 3 the possession before the brick, and he also had 38ish in game 7.

There are multiple good defensive bigs who don't run in to foul issues like Dwight does. Most of them grow out of it and learn.

But then again we are discussing the guy who has learned one post move since joining the league out of high school.

Also what you described gives a ton of credence to the idea of him being immature.

so what you're saying is, you'd call zbo a fake thug to his face.

I mean I could do the same to Dwight and he wouldn't touch me at all.

Nothing wrong with taking fouls. How many minutes did Dwight have to sit in the playoffs due to foul issues? wasn't many

You player fans are so damn touchy Calm down, I'm not going after the ohio messiah

I'm just saying had that three bricked and SA secured the rebound, you know damn well how the narrative would have changed. Even as it stands now, people remember that game and series more for the Spurs choking it away rather than LeBron's heroics.

Like how do you know that? Have you hung out with them? I've heard them referred to as the worst 2 superstars to build around from a guy respectable as Zach Lowe. How do you know they aren't giant dicks to be around.

Most guys go out on Beale when they come to Memphis, so you will hear about some players. People will tell that Steph and KD are like the nicest guys ever. You never hear that about the guys I don't like.

All we can judge about Howard or any athlete is what we see them do, and we have seen Dwight act like an immature bitch time and time again.

You feel differently because he plays for your favorite team.

I can legit say I wouldn't talk to Howard on a plane. Harden? Maybe I would, only to talk about our love for Taco Bell.

Yea and a respected guy LIke Haralobob said he was placing some of the biggest bets of his betting career on games 5,6,7 of the LAC v HOU series. How'd that work out for him? Bet he thought he *knew* those guys too.

I'm one of the guys who did. I also remember him having a big 4th quarter to the point where the Heat got the lead.

I think this is too abstract for Boom. He seems to only grasp concrete (I.e., soft as a physical only trait). I wonder he is just a master troll though.


Yeah he can be extremely frustrating to converse with.

Dude Dwight won the NBA community service award and there's articles about him doing stuff time after time after time and telling the people he helped not to let the media know about it. Legit good guy. Great sense of humor. Great basketball player.

Him getting big boy'd by Steph in the paint on a rebound was just a cherry on top
Not even a big deal tbh bigger guys get boxed out by smaller guys nightly in the NBA


looked to me like he thought Curry fouled him and was expecting a call
