Hawkmoor Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 What have SOME proponents of Dwight Howard been saying over and over on this messageboard? In the playoffs, you got to be PHYSICAL. You got to REBOUND, and if you playing a team with a superstar, you rough him up. Biyombo almost singlehandly is the reason the Raptors dispatched the Heat and are back in this series against the Cavaliers. Ive said it over and over, you GIVE Lebron the jumper and rough him up inside. The Raptors are trying to stop his drives, but it doesnt matter that he can get around Carroll at times, its the punishment he is receiving from Biyombo. If you PLAY physical, the referees are forced to adjust to the game. If Lebron can play physical, then YOU have to be allowed to play physical back, not that finesse Hawks crap that Bud has been doing. Let me say it again, Al Horford is a BETTER PLAYER than Dwight Howard. THATS the problem. Horford is good enough that Bud refuses to adjust his offense or the physical interior style of defense that is needed in the playoffs. Dwight, like Biyombo, would FORCE Bud to run plays in the post for Dwight and he could let his guards funnel players to Dwight on defense. Nobody is saying the Hawks dont need scoring from the 2 or 3, they DO. Howard or a player like him is one PIECE of what the Hawks NEED to succeed in the playoffs. 25 rebounds. Biyombo had 25 rebounds and 7 points. Is THAT not what we been saying about Dwight? That the Hawks dont need his scoring, but need his board presence? Make the move Bud. Call Dwight up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope Biyombo was taught by a TRADITIONAL post center how to play the game....................Find the nuance in what i said. NOBODY in the league is more a Diva than Lebron, and Curry is well on his way. Edited May 22, 2016 by Hawkmoor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted May 22, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 My only concern w/ bringing in D12 is how well can Sap defend the 3 if Horf is retained. Makes me think we would need to start Thabo at 2. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys like melo and Dwight do. Biyombo is a bargain. Dwight would be extremely overpaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBASupes Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 We don't got enough offense as it is and some of y'all want Biyombo? Come on. We don't have a Lowry or DeRozan in Atlanta. He's more likely to play bad here like he did in Charlotte. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Boston comes hard at Horford, the backup option MIGHT be Dwight. You dont have to worry about Sap moving to the 3. Bud likes a small power forward, thats obvious.

Lurker Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 YAWN The Hawks don't need a guy that needs to be spoon fed offensively to stay interested and loses interest when he doesn't get his shots. A rebounder isn't even their number one need, it's about their number three need, heck even number four if you want to talk about another thing they need to do that isn't personnel based. You need to find a legitimate 20+ PPG scorer at the 2 or 3 and guys that can stay in front of their man without a lot of help defense, and change the defensive scheme. THEN, you think about rebounders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sap at small forward will worsen the problem the Hawks have defensively. The only choice if you think the Hawks absolutely HAVE to go big is to move Sap, or move on from the Al Horford era.

I rather move on from Al and sign Dwight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their athletic abilities is shot compared to their primes. Move on. Honestly, they need to keep most of their players. Get more growth from Tim. Get Okafor for Jeff. Trade Splitter for cap to Brooklyn so we can resign Bazemore. Sign Jeremy Lin. Resign Al and move forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His posts are moronic...I'm banning him from my squawk...it's a waste of time. I also don't believe he is as old as he says...he's prolly a teenager from realgm.

Yeah I agree, I know we don't have the title in our hands but I still appreciate winning over 100 games during the last two years. Pretty sure Biyombo just put himself out of reach for a lot of teams yearning for rebounding. In our case though unless D12 would have blocked three pointers or hit a three pointer we would have still lost the first three games against the Cavs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
