Howard Tells Stan to Stop the Negativity

Shapecity · Nov 20, 2009

Dwight Howard told the Orlando Sentinel Thursday that he met with Stan Van Gundy Wednesday and they talked about Van Gundy's negativity and how it affected the team.

"I think, as a team, there was a lot of negativity and it's not like Stan's a negative guy," Howard. "But it's like there's always some clashes and focusing so much on our mistakes. Instead of bringing each other down, we have to pull each other up. That's the only thing I wanted from coach."

Van Gundy agreed with Howard that a change is needed.

"Dwight brought it up," Van Gundy said. "He thought there was too much negativity. A lot of times you hear things from players, it's their perspective and you understand it and sometimes you don't agree with it. But Dwight was right in that there's a difference between correcting and teaching and just seeing everything was bad. You've seen my press conferences. It was all negative. I think that was affecting our team, so ... I'm making a conscious effort now to sort of change that approach."
