    people seem happy with Whiteside because he blocks shots........unfortunately his overall defence isn't that good

    This article seems like bull****. I was at the Dallas game a week and a half ago (where he didn't play) and he looked like the happiest guy in the building on the bench, rooting for his team and goofing off with teammates on the bench throughout the ENTIRE game. Didn't look like a guy unhappy with his team at all.

    Yea he yells at his teammates (and vice versa) after a few plays per game, but at the end of the day what goes on between the lines never seems to affect his overall attitude and relationship with his team.

    Regarding his usage rate, you can already see in how they're playing that it's a point of emphasis to get him the ball more. So whatever issue there is/was, they're obviously trying to address it.

    This is just plain disgusting. Just plain horrible to not get the ball inside. To pass on getting the ball to a strong center with such good position is tantamount to conceding defeat. Why choose a more difficult route to scoring?

    Dwight should take that Shaq advice and just stand in the lane and take the violation when those guys do crap like that.

    its just plain horrible how many times a game this happens, yet not one player can get the ball down to him at the right time when he has his man sealed. Always way too late.

    Howard will go somewhere and dominate on offence because they will feed him the ball in good spots.................the Rockets don't do that

    Thornton is the only player who looks to get the ball inside and off the pnr....

    I don't blame Howard for wanting out.... But people on this board think he's complaining because he's not the scoring leader on the team and that is far from the fact....

    The scenario shown above is why Howard is so pissed and frustrated...

    Whiteside would be perfect for this team. No way this happens though.

    I believe we had a thread where many examples of this were pointed out.

    Throwing Dwight the ball in the post is a wasted possession at this point. That's why they throw it to DMo and not Howard, for obvious reasons. They figured it out a long time ago, because that stupid vine clip is from the second game of the season.

    I am not surprised, given many players are only interested in better personal stats rather than wins.

    Howard is the anchor of this team on both ends. This team will need to rebuild once he will be gone.

    Based off last nights game, you can see the apathetic attitude in the player's body language.

    This team has gone from championship aspirations to a....idk what.

    Coach is fired, Lawson can't produce, team is losing more than they should, and one of our stars is very upset.

    This gon be fun to watch. Grab the popcorn guys.

    is that throwing the ball to Dwight in the post? no. it's throwing the ball to a player who has his man clearly pinned, that can get an easy bucket or foul. it's basic basketball. you get your big man the ball when he has the advantage on a possession like that plain and simple. who cares if its the second game of the season. it happens every game
