Howard's Role In The Gold

For the first time in eight years, there won't be any talk of failure, or the world catching up, only praises for the Olympic champions – that is unless your name is Dwight Howard.

Grading The Deal: Williams To Cleveland In Three-Way

Mo Williams just barely outperformed the first year of his new contract, but he gives Cleveland's offense a few more teeth.

	Is It Time To Worry? Training camp is less than four weeks away, and the Pacers still haven't signed Danny Granger to an extension or gotten rid of Jamaal Tinsley. Andrew Perna. September 4, 2008.
	Auditing Miami's 2007-08 Season The Heat came out of the season in an immediately better situation to compete, turning Shaq into Shawn Marion and a 15-67 record into Michael Beasley and Mario Chalmers. Christopher Reina. September 4, 2008.
	The Lakers Need More Gas Maybe it’s Pau’s blood. Whatever it is, something happens when he switches his NBA jersey for a national one. It somehow evokes an emotion and a confidence that an NBA paycheck doesn’t seem to be to able to ignite. Leigh Ellis. August 27, 2008.

Before the Houston game, in a pregame TV interview, head coach Brian Hill said something to the effect that our defense was further along as compared to our offensive progress. That was very much the case for that game. We did a much better job of forcing Houston to a lower percentage outside shot. Granted, they were without their top scorer, inside and outside threat T-Mac. Another positive from our victory last night, is that we didn't commit as many fouls this game as the previous three. FG Shots made by our opponents. Houston Outside shots: 15 of 22 = 68.1% Inside shots: 7 of 22 = 31.8% Free Throws: 19 Previous 3 opponents: Outside shots: 40 of 72 = 55.5% Inside shots: = 32 of 72 = 44.5% Free Throws: 29.0/game We also continue to do an outstanding job cleaning up the boards. This has helped us to gain an advantage in FG attempts/game. Unfortunately, we are not shooting the ball well so we are not taking advantage of this. Magic 74 FG attempts O Rebs: 19 D Rebs: 33 Total Rebs: 52 Houston 70 attempts O Rebs: 7 D Rebs: 36 Total Rebs: 43 For the season: Magic FG Attempts: 74.5/game Total rebounds: 205 (51.25/game) Opponents FG Attempts: 69.75/game Total rebounds: 187 (46.75/game) Leaders from Houston game: Steals: Turkoglu (2); Francis, Morris (1) Points: Francis (27); Stevenson (12) Defensive Rebounds: Howard (8); Turkoglu (6) Offensive Rebounds: Howard (3); Nelson (2) Turnovers: Stevenson (3); Howard, Turkoglu, Nelson, Francis (2) Assists: Francis (5); Nelson (2) Largest Magic Lead: 9 Largest Houston Lead: 12
