    yes it does, since I find Dwight to be the main negative influence on this team, attitude wise.

    that explains it. you have a dwight agenda. take that somewhere else.

    having a discussion about JH defense and the next coach has nothing to do with your Howard makes Harden embarrassing on defense. none whatsoever

    was talking about need for motivation and attitude, and that's why Dwight's name came up. Maybe you have an agenda being the famous Dwight apologist yourself, trying to deflect any blame from Howard towards Harden.

    far from it. unlike you i have no agendas. I don't care who's who. I'm focused on winning not matter who it is. stop trying to act like you have everything figured out. You keep trying to spin this and that when you have no business doing it in the first place. nobody asked you to bring up dwight in this particular discussion when isn't even apart of it to begin with. your only reason in doing so is because you obviously have an agenda. stay on topic. if not find somewhere else to go off topic

    nope. i just call things as I see it, and obviously Dwight has been the main issue of this team.

    Dwight's character is the number one problem on this team... Not the character of the team's supposed leader who plays **** defense and then has the audacity to berate other players on the court for his missed assignments.

    yup, cause Dwight is the max salary player who plays like sh** on offense and defense combined. completely useless on both ends of the floor, and has a bad attitude. definitely the main problem with this team.

    Dwight has no jumper and cannot make free throws. That is why the game has passed him by.

    He has to play lights out on defense all the time and make his jump hooks down low and we saw this year that he no longer can do this consistently.

    offensively yes. but defensively blows Dwight out of water.

    Dwight is useless on both ends, and still earns the max salary. therein lies the problem.

    The number one problem has been the coaching period, blaming Dwight for players coming into camp out of shape and cocky is a joke. This has been on the whole team and their best player. Harden had an atrocious start to the season if everyone can remember and these are the growing pains that he needs to go through to get to the next level which hopefully he will.

    Put Curry on this Rockets team and Harden on the Warriors team and it would be the reverse

    Agreed.

    Warriors will get worse while Harden pounds the ball on the perimeter, plays no D and turns it over and Rockets would get better with the best shooter ever in the history of the game and one of the premier ball handlers.

    DeAndre still has his athleticism and plays within his means. Dwight can barely move and thinks he's Shaq in the post.

    Nah, playing with Dwight, Ariza and Beverly will completely expose Curry's overrated defense while Harden will be surrounded by 'real' defensive forces and 2nd, 3rd option scorers that will help him play more efficiently.

    You must be talking about Dwight who doesn't box out only grabs rebounds close to him and doesn't defend the paint anymore
