its weird. I wouldn't even be that sad if he left. There is something about this team that has me less emotionally vested than in past years. Blow it up! j/k but Morey needs to change up the chemistry. Its seriously lacking.
How does this not come up in practice? Dwight should be telling them where he wants the ball. He has been here forever and the longest tenured players still have no idea how to get him the ball. I kind of blame Dwight; he should bring this **** up. There's film where he is clearly open that he can show the guards!! There is no excuse! Dwight has had Hall of fame coaches in Hakeem and Mchale yet still no one knows how to throw a post pass when he is sealing his man? it so ridiculous.
Howard will race down court and flash just like this about 10 times a game, where he completely boxes his man out UNDER the basket......the rest of the Rockets miss him or late almost all of the time. You are correct though, if you give them ball while posting 10-12 away, it's almost a wasted possession. BUT we all see him work hard and flash underneath the basket like so and we miss the opportunity for a easy bucket or getting in the bonus early because of the fouls his man will have to take. It's dumb ball man
1. He doesn't play every game 2. He looks effective every 4-5 games 3. You act like he has a guard pinned down, but it's Ezeli - who's one of the better rim protectors in the league 4. If you really think he does this every game, which he doesn't, go ahead and post a vine of it
Cyberx has not posted anything yet. All speculation news is not interesting for me. Do not think the Heat is interested in old Howard either.
I remember reports of Howard complaining a lot in Orlando for not getting enough tocuhes either... He isn't a good post player but if he has position for a turn around dunk or layup he's money.
Not playing every game has no relevance on what is being talked about here. It's simple high IQ basketball. Unless you have no idea what that is. And so "one of the better rim protectors" is being pinned down clearly here by Dwight. It doesn't matter who it is. that's irrelevant to the topic as well. you obviously don't watch the Rockets enough if you don't know this happens every game. Either that or you have no complete clue what you're watching which may be true.
I know this is just me but I would actually love to see a lineup without Harden and see how it works. Lawson Thornton Ariza DMo Dwight Lawson gets to be the primary ball handler, Dwight gets to be the star surrounded by 3 point shooters.
Lol @ the notion that the Heat would give up Winslow and Whiteside. I doubt they do a Whiteside-Dwight trade straight up.
