See Josh Boone until December, Marcus til a week ago and pretty much every player who Frank hasn't fallen in love with. Nenad took mintues (with worse production) Diop has taken minutes and Frank has fallen in love with Boki at the 4 with Boone by himself as the only big... In short we are deepest in the frontcourt...yet Frank utilizes a 3 man rotation.</div> That is because Frank always make his rotations without any real understanding of the situation at hand. Dont get me wrong he prepares very well, its just come gametime, you'd often swear he was blindfolded </div> Completely agree. It seems as if Frank has no clue what's going on out there. Boki sucks, Nenad's inconsistent. Why wasn't Diop and Sean playing more? Frank also seems to going to the post less and less, even with Nenad out. What the hell is he thinking? I mean, in the Indiana game, we were playing great. We were attacking the paint, and getting the ball down low. What happened? Boone went 6-6 (and got to the line once, 0-2 :\ )...so then why didn't Frank go to him more??? Why didn't Frank try to make more plays for Boone? And why the **** did he let Vince, RJ, and Marcus have their way on offense, and just chuck up shots? I swear, it seems like he has absolutely no discipline for these guys. </div> Sean got badly abused when he was in there. He was a liability. Diop can't defend Hedo or Lewis. And on offense neither is a great enough shooter to create space. Orlando was packing the paint with Howard at the center of it all. We have one big that can shoot a jumpshot and that's Nenad. </div> You don't need to be a good shooter. Sean's got moves in the post. And you don't need to have a jumpshot to be able to make a dunk or a layup. Why didn't guys try to consistently attack the basket, and get Dwight in foul trouble? That woulda been a hell of a gameplan! And please. Nenad can't shoot for shit anymore. He's just as bad and inconsistent as Boki, now. </div> Thank You! Swift and Swat both have post moves that make Howard have to respect them, Boone has also improved...By playing a combination of them Howard couldn't stand in the middle of the paint meaning the one big or a driving RJ or Vince would get a clear shot at the basket... Howard may be quick enought to recover, but most likely he'd still get into foul trouble...
Yeah that Dwight Howards is a pushover to score on. Oh yeah, he's also only fouled out once all season and that was against Yao. Since Diop didn't score a single point I think we know how this one went.
Dwight blocking Marcus. Wow, what a surprise! Do you even know how that play w/ Boki went? Neither do I. That proves nothing. He could have passed it, or made a bucket. Or gotten a foul call. And look at RJ. Trying to put it up against Dwight, instead of dumping it down low to Sean right next to him. That's nice. And that last picture is of Diop going up to get a rebound against Dwight, who is also reaching for the rebound. I remember that. I believe Diop passed it out to Marcus, and they reset the offense. And missed a shot. Funny.

(And I thought the Marcus block was obscenely impressive, both on Howard's part and the photographer that caught it) I don't see Sean or Diop alongside Boone having much success against him in the post offensively. And again, they would've gotten killed by either Turkoglu or Lewis with blow bys or pull up jumpers on the offensive end. Even though they each scored 25 one of them easily could've gone for 35. And also, like I said earlier, they played them solid for 44 minutes. They weren't struggling to find an answer to beat them until the last 4 minutes. Were you guys expecting us to blow the Magic out?
