    I said after they lost to Portland that losing the way they did was the best thing that could have happened to them.

    Hopefully they make the corrections.

    I agree with Dwight. I'm glad he said that.

    Wow. I was thinking yesterday how I wish Howard didn't complain to the refs so much. Great to read

    Maybe the Portland loss will be a blessing in disguise.. add motivation and focus?

    Jesus Christ this kid seems like he's matured. Look at him, then look at CP or Harden. This is what a true super star says.

    It's always that way. I was happy to see them lose the way they did as oppressed to getting to the second round and pretend they accomplished their goal.

    Humiliation bonds a team and the taste never goes away. Ask Kobe after getting blown out by Boston.

    It's easier to get better overall if you get your butt kicked once in a while. You gotta lose sometimes in order to get better. Great stuff from Dwight.

    I love Dwight so much. Last year, during the regular season and especially during the playoffs he proved how dominant and how much of a leader he is, and it bugs the hell out of me that he still gets so much BS media hate. But whatever, he knows what he needs to do. I can't wait for the season to start.

    This is what being a true leader is all about. Looking forward to next season.

    I don't know why people say Harden is the leader. DWIGHT IS!

    People keep stating that we had a crappy offseason this year...but then I look and realize that we have a legit superstar in "Dwight freaking Howard" on our team.

    This much I can say, with maturity, Dwight will win a title here in Houston...How mature he is, will dictate how his team plays behind him. Get excited Houston...The Rockets will return back to prominence.

    Starters:
    Dwight
    Terrence
    Trevor
    James
    Patrick

    Bench:
    Dorsey/Clint
    Jeff Adrien/DMo
    Kostas/ Garcia
    Troy/Jason
    Isaiah/Nick

    Dwight says a lot of good stuff to the media, but will he say it to the squad? to Harden?

    Who holds them accountable for their actions?

    I think that's the point he's making. Accountability was likely one of those things swept under and they can't have that anymore.
