That's what he told his team at halftime. :lol

A jab at LeBron? It’s hard to takeaway anything from a guy that puts up 49 points on you, but something Coach Stan Van Gundy said to his team during a dismal first half might have done it. During a timeout while the Magic were getting hammered in the first half, Dwight Howard said that he told the team “You’re all witnesses,” taking a sideways swipe at a slogan of a James Nike ad whose tagline is “We are all witnesses.” “That is what he told us,” Howard said. “He has a great way of motivating us.” It might have been a great kick start on Wednesday, but it might not be the best thing to give James any extra incentives the rest of the way. James shrugged it off afterwards: “It’s called reverse psychology…But you guys know how Stan is – he’s funny.”

I like motivational coaching... that's gr8 use of psychology on a basketball team right there... and it worked... props to the master of Panic... god if the Magic goes all the way D-Howard will erase Shaq's legacy with the franchise... that would be priceless...

I liked it when he said to this team during a time out: " They had it easy in the first 2 rounds; we haven't; we know how hard it can be, they don't "
(or something like that)

:worthy: :worthy: :worthy:

I doubt he'd take a jab at someone down 15 and trying to motivate his team. I could possibly see this if he said it up 15.
