JohnnyLingo has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Default Dwight Howard 13-16 free throws

Dwight Howard hit 13 of 16 free throws against the Cavs in an exhibition game tonight.

If there was one weakness in his game last year, it was that he was terrible from the free throw line (shooting 45%). Now that it appears that he's improved vastly in that area, Howard will be even more scary good this year.

Also, the Jazz starters all had great games tonight against Philly. Deron with a very efficient 12 points and 10 assists while going 5-6 from the field, 2-2 from the 3. Brewer 14 points, 2 steals, 4 assists on 7-9 shooting. Boozer 17 and 10, AK 9 points, 3 blocks, 4 assists. Okur 15 points and 7 rebounds on 7-10 shooting.

If the Jazz can perform like that consistently, they'll win 55 games this year. Unfortunately, the bench was horrible... Hart 1-6, Gira 1-4, Almond 3-9, Miles 1-4. Have to improve there. Millsap did have 9 rebounds.

Should be a good year.

I was at the game tonight and Almond looked horrendous airballing his first 2 shots, Hart also looked horrible, and Borat (gira) plays the worst defense of any player in the NBA. But yes the starters looked solid, but the bench as of right now is a disaster.

Don't forget Calvin Booth showing why he has been in the NBA for 8 years. And one of the greatest pulls in the history of Mankind...
