Orlando Magic News for November 4th: Looking Back at the Magic's Loss to the Pistons; J.J. Redick Matures as a Player
Third Quarter Collapse —
... out, with accurate detail, how the Pistons were able to defeat the Magic, yesterday.
But they didn't beat the Magic just by chance. A lineup of shooters and ball-handlers all over the floor created space in the lane -- and Piston guards got to the rim again and again, putting the pressure on Howard that resulted in fouls and a lot of contact. (After the game, Howard complained about how hard opponents have been colliding with him recently.)
A really frustrating night!!! Dwight Howard posts on his official blog, today. ...

Dwight Howard whines about officiating on his blog
Full-Court Press - A Detroit Pistons Blog —
... November 04, 2009, 3:00PM dwight.JPG AP Photo Dwight Howard was not happy with the officiating last night. Dwight Howard is one of the best players in the NBA, despite some pretty big flaws in his game on offense. He doesn't need to do things like call out the referees on his blog : I was on the floor for 16 minutes and fouled out!!! Let me say that again: 17 minutes and six fouls!!! How can that be, ya’ll? It was crazy. They called me for a charge on a flop, a push off when the defender was on me and two fouls on blocked shots. Right. Because you did all of those things. You ...

Motown String Music —
... Containing Chris Bosh, a hopeful future Piston player in my book, will be a major key for the Pistons. If all goes well, the Pistons will get him out of his game and into early foul trouble, causing him to write a blog post like this after the game. ...
SVG: Dwight Howard’s Getting Picked on
SLAM Online —
While the big fella whines on his blog, his coach is defending him to the media: “As for the refs, Stan Van Gundy said there was a bit of a double standard with the way fouls are called in the paint and on the perimeter. ‘I just think there’s two different standards,’ Van Gundy said. ‘I had a referee very recently, very candidly tell me because of the strength of the bigger guys they let them play more. So they get pushed and grabbed. My point is Lebron’s a pretty strong guy. Dwayne’s a strong guy, they dont’ let ...

... favorite waived Piston from the preseason, Deron Washington, was drafted third overall in the D-League draft by the Los Angeles D-fenders. I wish him the best, but let's just hope we never see him make it big with the Lakers.
Henry Abbott of the True Hoop network had kind words about the Pistons after their big win over the Orlando Magic. He doesn't think they won "by chance," but Dwight Howard begs to differ on his blog.

Bang a Gong, Again, for Big Ben Wallace
Empty the Bench —
... Beyond the raw stats, Wallace is doing a lot of the little things that can’t be measured. A week ago he harassed Dwight Howard–who officially has 2 inches and 25 pounds on him, but in reality an inch or two and a 5-10 pounds more–into his worst game of the young season, helping limit the big man to just 8 points and 5 boards before fouling out in the fourth quarter. That sent a bitter Howard to his blog looking for pity. ...

From Howard’s blog:
First time all season, the first time since the Finals, I guess. But it was how we lost that frustrated me the most.
I was on the floor for 16 minutes and fouled out!!! Let me say that again: 17 minutes and six fouls!!! How can that be, ya’ll? It was crazy. They called me for a charge on a flop, a push off when the defender was on me and two fouls on blocked shots. ...

... when to push it and vice versa. Justin seriously doubts that the Pistons style of play will change much, and that the Pistons will predominantly continue playing half court, one-on-one basketball.
Remember how frustrated Dwight Howard was after the first game against the Pistons when he played just 17 minutes and fouled out? And then he wrote that sour grapes blog? Well, the NBA levied a hefty $15,000 fine for the remarks he made in that post.
Hopefully, the ...
