The Harden trade, Dwight signing - just the start of the rewards for good karma by not tanking during those 14th pick seasons! Finals or bust!
He had a bonehead game today but that just shows how important he is....even when he's playing bad he contributes.
Harden might've not gotten those great looks at the end if not for Howard's great screens. The dynamic duo will be unstoppable when they perfect that pnr
i got a little concerned seeing howard walk off the court immediately after the game with keith jones close by.
I don't think there's a leader on this team. Even if there was, Dwight is too carefree* to be it. *Not sure if carefree is the right word.
He is making his FTs lately, which means no more of that dreadful Hack-a-Dwight. That is a plus for me.
the no call travels on him still bother me. we're a mark cuban sending in tapes match up in the playoffs away from this trending into something bigger. majority of the time tonight against the blazers he'd travel on his first move. I know i cant be the only one who sees this. :30 second mark of the miami highlights, watch his feet. http://clutchfans.net/video/view/?v=2013&/miami_heat_vs_houston_rockets/
Yeah seriously. You wouldn't know he had a bad game by his stats. 17 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks. That's how good that man is. That statline is a bad game for him.
Yeah, I noticed. That's why I said the game wasn't one-sided, officiating-wise. Dwight usually doesn't get away with it.
the reason we havent had a dwight howard thread in awhile is because WE HAVE DWIGHT HOWARD!!!! :grin:
Agree 100%. He gave Harden some space to launch those killer 3s. Also a monster rebound after a Harden miss to set up another Harden 3 That's what I like about Howard. If he's struggling, he knows how to step aside to let the others score. He's not a diva at all. Tonight he just concentrated on defense and rebounding. He's not into scoring per se but any way to help the team win. Parsons and Harden credit him for the very positive and light-hearted locker room vibe of the Rockets. That's huge--that they genuinely like each other.
