Create A Caption #16
Dwight Howard and Orlando Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy have had a dynamic and interesting relationship during the postseason. After Howard expressed his frustration about not getting the ball enough in Game 5 of the Boston Celtics series, the national media jumped on the opportunity to try to create a rift between coach and player. No dice. Both individuals have great admiration and respect for each other. The team wouldn't be in the NBA Finals without either of them.
So, the picture above is the two conversing during a practice yesterday.
What do you think Howard and Van Gundy are saying to each other?
Rules:
I'm sure everyone here is familiar with a "create a caption" competition, but in case someone here doesn't know what this type of contest is ... basically a picture is provided and you, the reader, attempt to come up with a quick sentence describing what's occurring in the photo. The line can be funny, stupid, witty, etc.
I'll be a judge but I like to have another collective voice determining the winner, that way there's a bit of a consensus among the community. What I prefer for everyone here to do is this ... if you like the caption a fellow member has come up with, "recommend" it. That will be 'your vote', in essence. If you don't know how to "recommend" a comment, go to the comment you like, click on 'actions', then click on 'rec'. You can "recommend" multiple captions/comments, if you want.
So for a quick recap.
- Write a quick sentence describing what's occurring in the photo.
- If you like a caption/comment that's been written, "recommend" it.
- After you "recommend" a caption/comment, write something (like +1, for example) to indicate you like the sentence a 3QC member has written.
- The contest will last 24 hours, so whichever caption/comment gets the most recommendations, wins. In case of a tie, I'll determine the winner.
Let the contest begin!

Dwight: Coach, you already beat my half-court shot 45 minutes ago. Put your arm down. You’re not Sydney Dean and it’s not “oh so pretty”

“Okay Dwight, I don’t care what people tell you, I grew up in LA. If you go on 101, you’ll die. I don’t mean someone will shoot you. I mean you’ll die of heat exhaustion trying to get to the first available exit.”

This is easy
BEAT LA BEAT LA
I try to help with everything," Fernandez said. "If the coach says go rebound, I go rebound. I work for the team.
""If I'm playing this game to get media and attention, I shouldn't be here," Aldridge said. "I'm here to play basketball, and do what I can do to help this team win."
His stare became blank. It was apparent he was back in that place, on the Rose Garden's logo, picking up Aaron Brooks as the crowd nervously roared.
Stan (with lisp): I love L.A., the shoe shopping here is amazing!
Dwight: I’m really uncomfortable around you, Coach..
Dwight, you see those yellow things up there on the wall...........
Those are called Championship banners.

Dwight, what's up with your game? Did you leave your cape in Orlando?
If I need too, I will get out there and shoot 3 pointers…
SVG: OK,let's vote. Who is for playing Gortat and you in the same lineup?
D12: (only you and P Jax…)
Caption
SVG: See Superman, if you spread your arms like this you’ll fly even faster!
DH: I wonder if they’ll call a travel if I fly during a game?

Free Throw Horse
Stan: Water bottle in one hand, eyes and head left, one handed shot. Nothing but net. See how easy that was? Now here’s the handicap. All you have to do is make two in a row anyway you can.
Supe: O.K.
