    He's not nearly as skilled and his body won't last that long.

    the only thing less watchable than dwight posting up is corey dribbling with anyone 4 feet or closer to him

    Dear Dwight Howard,

    If you're focusing on defense and rebounding, please be a better than an average defender and rebounder..

    Or actually sets a real pick, instead of moving early for a roll to the rim trying to avoid contact.

    no, he means the developing play, where he needs his help to be & making others aware of what he sees likely to happen (from experience).

    I would like him to get more touches at the high post or closer to it. It seems kind of counter productive to have him catch the ball at the 3 point line just so he can move the ball to one of the wings. If he catches it closer to the FT that will cause the defender to come out a little further. if not he can still come out to set a screen on either wing but either way he's closer to the basket to make a move to the basket to cause the defender to commit.

    Dwight seems open up running the PnR, but will James? He keeps waving it off.

    I have zero complaints about Dwight this season besides him playing one game of back of backs. But that'll probably change soon when he gets healthier.

    Dwight isn't the problem. Harden is the problem.

    Dwight cares most about winning now since he has started declining physically.
