Apparently McHale is not happy with Dwight's effort level, especially screen setting and defensive effort. I read it on twitter.

McHale may not be the smartest guy in the league, but he is not as dumb as Blatt.

Ok, but if Dwight doesn't do as he's instructed, will McHale bench him? If so, who would he replace him with?

I don't think it's an ultimatum. I'm guessing it's more in the tone of, "Come on big fella, we're gonna need you to set those screens hard and get some easy buckets in the playoffs. Let's get this going."

What I don't understand is Howard's reluctance to run the P&R. I mean, he's not a dummy. He sees how much his post game gums things up on offense. I don't see why ANYBODY would mind getting 10-12 points easy buckets off lay-ups and dunks every night. Is it the fact that he's worried teams are just going to clobber him when he goes up for the dunk? Teams are doing it now as it is. This way, at least you're getting a higher opportunity for an AND1.

If we actually run PnRs our offense will open up so much. Come on Kevin don't tease us!

Lol Bullard.

"When dwight plays defense he anchors the rockets defense."

Sounded like he stumbled over his words a bit and misspoke but still funny.
