    Exactly. They aren't calling anything! Dwight is getting Yao treatment from the refs. I would be frustrated too.

    This is Howards biggest test I believe when you get hacked and things don't go your way. How do you handle it? Do you get frustrated? Start fouling? Or play through it?

    If plays through it let the refs know whats going on he will get more calls

    Dwight struggles with good real tall players, used to be schooled by Yao at offense end when they go head to head in games.

    Howard is bringing the ball down too low. He's getting stripped. And every time he tries to do some post move, there's 3 guys in there.

    Dwight is too predictable in his post moves. Face up, jab step, dribble, spin, go up.

    He needs to switch it up. Pump fake once instead of going up.

    Or spin half-way around and come back the other way.

    He can do the same move in a bunch of different ways to keep the defense guessing.

    because we rather him figure out what to do now, than in the regular season when it actually counts.

    Because it is Dwight Howard in the post

    This is what I keep saying, playing the post is one of the hardest things to do in a game. Every single person has to do their part or it ends horribly for the post player, whether they run into a wall of player and get the ball stripped or the post pass forces them out 2-3 extra feet. This is the thing I want to see how it plays out during the pre-season .
