Howard is dragging ass out there. Mchale needs to be a COACH and play the guy that's helping you win this game (DMo)
yea, I don't know what the hell this was. This is the infamous toronto game everybody likes to b**** about so much.
This. He's lolly gagging this season. Between the long layoff due to a pain threshold injury and the lack of effort; I'm getting the impression he's not focusing on the regular season.
I hope Calvin gets in Dwight's ear. Just saw him stop him as he was leaving the court. Dude is not bringing it.
Need greater effort from Howard on both ends of the floor. Stick to the PnR and playing D and he'd be fine. I'm not convinced the Rockets will get that consistently from Dwight. Not sure where his head is.
Maybe Dwight knows his days are numbered due to his knee injury? If that's case maybe he's saving his best efforts for the playoffs. Either way, as the Rockets are presently constructed, I don't think they can win a championship without Dwight playing at his best. Even if Harden shows up 100% in the playoffs this year, our interior guys aren't good enough. Like I feared, Smith doesn't look promising and there's no depth at Center. DMo is great down low but he's only an average defender. It's game face Dwight or bust imo. And if he doesn't bring it 100% in the playoffs this year we're all going sharing Kobe's sentiments.
this is eerily similar to the Clowney fiasco I predict Dwight will have to miss more time because of his knee
Dwight needs to stop talking and play elite level defense..OR just sit himself like he did...which allowed the team to grow up...Dwight mightve had some nice blocks, but the interior defense has been nothing close to what he has done his entire career. Perhaps he is looking for more offensive touches...if that is the case, its time for a reality check...Dmo has better fundamentals in the post than Dwight does...Go out there and play championship level basketball and dominate. The Rockets have been coming out of the gate way too slow... Finally... 6 of the 9 losses this season has come on our home court...teams are coming on this court looking to win, and that is a very discouraging sign... Regardless, this team will only go as far as Dwight and Harden take them. Dwight needs to embrace his role as the anchor of a dominant defense. He has been far from that quite a bit this season.
