How Do You Defend Dwight Howard In The Playoff's?....What About "Make Him Mad" !

Oh well...it seems that the playoff's are upon us,time for teams & their highlight players to step up,turn up the heat,get that second wind,and bring home the championship.

Yesss...Allstars it's time to forget about those nagging aches & pains,that injury that's been slowing ya down all season,and that ass*%#* in the floor seats.Time to "Go Git" what you've been busting your ass all season for !

And for all the team leaders,the super stars,"the men in the mirror"all of whom are well aware that the slate is about to be wiped clean.And whatever record they ended with,doesn't mean a damn thing now. Because the late,late,..late nights begins for their teams coaching staff. ya know what I'm talking about;

How are we going to defend this guy?

Whats our low post strategy?

How do we keep him out of the paint?

Well...how do you keep a; Derrick Rose,Kobe Bryant,D. Wade, Lebron James,Tim Duncan,and the "beast from the east"...Dwight Howard under control? And remember the regular seasons over,these are now "Very Focused" masters of there game.And speaking of the latter,..Mr. Dwight Howard,well being an Atlanta Hawks fan and knowing the probability of getting Orlando in the early rounds has me wondering how late the Hawks staff are burning the midnight oil.

Well I've given it a lot a lot of thought,and consulted with my staff (my boy's down on the blacktop court in the park) and have come to the conclusion that defense coordinator's around the league should go through their film archives and review how Shaq was defended with the infamous;"Hack-A-Shaq".

Yeah..yeah...I know,I can hear y'all now.NO I'm not suggesting that players should pound Dwight every time he's goes to the paint,but a variation there of. look the way i see it,in shaqs early days in the league, nba coach's (or whomever) realized he was a horrible free throw shooter. He could not be( in my opinion) physically kept from the paint, just foul him and send him to the line.But when they do foul,do it in such a way that he could not get the shot off...and thus the "Hack-a-Shaq" was born.

Now about my man Dwight,don't know him personally but luv & Respect him as a player. I feel that teams should take advantage of what seems to be a "Bad Temper"on Howard's part. And granted he's had reason to lose his temper,so would i after some of the crap i've seen thrown his way.And i'm sure he knows that you have to just suck it up,step to the line and take your shots.

Easier said than done,which is why we think this trait should be exploited. so i've coined a little phrase that i feel is appropriate;.."Make Dwight Fight" and send him to the bench.I know that may be a bit much but,when you're mad you tend to not think clearly and when this happens you Make Mistakes.As stated earler this is just my opinion,and is not intended as the start of an anti-D. howard campaign.It's just the thoughts of an Atlanta Hawks fan on the impending visit of the Orlanda Magic.

In fact Orlando fans can use the phrase;Make Dwight Fight, in the context of inspiration....to fight for the Championship.
