Lakers not worried about Howard’s free throw struggles

Found March 13, 2013 on The Sports Blitz:
PLAYERS: Dwight Howard
TEAMS: Los Angeles Lakers
Something about the Los Angeles Lakers brings out the worst free throw shooters. It started with Hack-a-Shaq and now it’s become Hack-a-Dwight. Hack-a-Dwight is when a player may be intentionally fouled the moment he gains possession of the ball, but he may also be fouled when he is off-the-ball. However, the NBA has a rule discouraging the defense from intentionally fouling a player off-the-ball during crunch time.... Read more

Howard can expect icy reception in Orlando

Via Fox Sports Florida  |  March 12, 2013
It's the game that's been circled on every Orlando Magic fans' calendar since the beginning of the season. Lakers vs. Magic -- 7 p.m. ET -- March 12, 2013. The return of Dwight Howard. It won't be a warm reception for the once beloved Magic center, who had called Orlando home for the first eight seasons of his NBA career. But all the love turned to bitterness...

Dwight Howard Gets Booed, Scores 39 Points in Return to Orlando (Video)

Via NESN.com  |  March 13, 2013
It’s no wonder why Orlando Magic fans hold some contempt for Dwight Howard. He requested multiple trades out of town during his eight seasons with the Magic, and he finally got his wish in August when he was moved to Los Angeles. Tuesday night marked his first time back in Orlando, and as expected, the All-Star center got booed heavily during introductions and in-game. It probably...

Dwight Howard Still Has Plenty of Growing Up To Do

Via FatManWriting  |  March 13, 2013
Prior to Tuesday night's game between Dwight Howard's new team, the Los Angeles Lakers, and his old one, the Orlando Magic, the big man said a lot of the right things. He apologized for his recent bashing of the team and talked a lot about growing up. Now call me crazy, but I took his comments to mean that he has done a lot of growing up; not that he needs to do a lot...

When will the booing stop?

Via Orlando Magic Daily  |  March 14, 2013
Let me get this out of the way first: Dwight Howard deserved to be booed. For a season and a half, he waffled and played with Magic fans' emotions. He kept the whole organization in limbo because of his indecision and forced the team to cater to his ever-changing whims before ultimately frustrating everything by either having a true change of heart or fearing a trade to a...

Orlando Magic fans ready for Dwight's return

Via Fox Sports Florida  |  March 11, 2013
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- The number 12 is no longer sacred in Orlando. The man who used to wear it, Los Angeles Lakers' center Dwight Howard, also once shouldered the Magic's hopes of attaining an elusive first NBA championship. But after eight years of chasing it, and taking Orlando through one of the most turbulent seasons in its history last year, the man who called himself...

Lakers trip just another learning experience for Magic

Via Orlando Magic Daily  |  March 12, 2013
When fans look at the players on the floor tonight, only one will matter. Yes, tonight is all about Dwight Howard. Fans will finally get to see the All Star center who jilted them in a most embarrasing and mismanaged fashion. It has left an adoring fan base with a stomach full of hatred ready to be hurled out onto the court once the ball tips and before. Howard has been preparing...

Via Sportress of Blogitude  |  March 13, 2013
  As covered here extensively at the Sportress over the past week or so, Los Angeles Lakers center and perceived turncoat Dwight Howard made his much-anticipated return to Orlando on Tuesday night to face his former team — and a chorus of boos, posters and hecklers — at Amway Arena. Howard managed to play admirably despite the outright hostility — although never silencing...

Preview: Lakers vs. Hawks

Via Purple and Gold Blog  |  March 13, 2013
A lot of anxiety fell into Dwight Howard prior to the game in Orlando last night. His first visit in the city that he gives credit to for raising him as the player he is today since his rookie year in 2004. But it turned out that Howard managed his emotions real well and led the Lakers (34-31) to their 4th-straight win to reclaim the 8th seed in the west from Utah. The Lakers...

Fashion Glance: Shaq rocks his Easter suit on “Inside the NBA”

Via Jocks and Stiletto Jill  |  March 15, 2013
I’m assuming Shaq was motivated by the time change and the fact that “Spring” is just a week away. Why else would he come on “Inside the NBA” wearing his Easter suit? That’s a lot of white for TV. He has that nuclear glow going on. Ever the social media maven, Shaq told his Twitter followers to Tweet him their thoughts on his suit. You can imagine how that went. Shaq...
