Dwight Has Words For Van Gundy
Posted by Gil Harris on May 14th, 2009
After the game five performance the Orlando Magic put forth falling short of victory after a 14 point lead with seven minutes left in the 4th, Dwight Howard has since voiced his heart felt opinion on the actions of coach Van Goofy, saying “Our coach has to recognize when he has a certain group out there and getting the job done, we have to leave those guys on the floor,” Howard said. “We are going to make mistakes, but I think you have to go with what works.” Now, Im on the fence with these words by Dwight. In watching the game true it seemed late that the Magic just completly stopped feeding the big man, and it was obvious seeing his frustrations while running up and down the court late in the game, but to the defense of Van Goofy …. The aledged “Super Man” has had his hands full with Boston Celtics Kendrick Perkins. For the series Dwight is only averaging 16 points, in Game 5 he was 5 for 10 with 3 count em 3 airballs. Now I wouldn’t go as far to say Van Goofy gave up on his Defensive MVP whom by the way also had zero blocks along with zero steals. But with the astonishing playoff record the Boston Celtics have, game 5 in my opinion was a must win for the Orland Magic.
