Another problem is Howard and Hill didn't play a lick of defense in the last game. The video I posted, you clearly see Greg Smith, our backup center getting easy scores on Dwight Howard during crunch time. 0 seconds to 24 seconds (start of video), and 58 seconds to 1:20. Not just key baskets but a critical tip out offensive rebound. That was 100 % effort out of Greg Smith and 25 % effort out of Dwight Howard.
D12 was only a liability on both ends of the court late in that game. Hack A Howard on offense and absolutely zero defense from him when it mattered most. You can render him useless if he's not rebounding and defending. I don't know much about Robert Sacre, who the hell is that? But I can't imagine him playing as useless as D12 did down the stretch of that game.
You would think an NBA player like Sacre will play hard though? Not just half ass it out there and embarrass himself.
