    Dwight is a good person

    Won't miss the fact that he didn't bring it everyday though

    You do remember your PT Barnum, right?

    Next time buy a full page that explains why you were dogging it during the playoffs and then admitted it on TV. Thank us with effort, your words are nothing.

    Ouch! That was mean. Give Harden a break - he did stop going to the club long enough to have his PR team pen a heartfelt letter to the Rockets' fans...after he signed up for more money...

    Very classy by Dwight. He was never the problem. He didn't have to do this

    He should wear 49 for Samuel 1:49. That's where Goliath goes down face first after getting rocked in the first round by David. It's kind of who he is these days, Goliath on repeat.

    Howard in 2015 vs TMac in 2009. There's no comparison. McGrady didn't even walk within five feet of the 3pt line at times. Go rewatch the Toronto tape and you'll see what a real quitter looks like.

    That's a nice gesture. I enjoyed Dwight's time in Houston. Best wishes for the future.

    Dwight admitted he quit on the team.

    Go look at the box scores at the end of the season

    This punk checked out.

    Kobe, Nash, Byron Scott, Magic, Rashard Lewis, Kevin Durant, and many more
    were 100% right about this clown

    Wish him the best. He obviously shares some blame for last year's disastrous season, but by the time he checked out, the season was already lost anyway. So I can't really be too mad at him. Good luck to him.

    Hate on him as much as you want his first 2 years were as advertised especially in the playoffs. Even in regression he is an elite when surrounded by smart players.

    Arguably one of the worst seasons in Rockets history. The GARM has been reduced to "**** the Rockets" threads because of it. Dwight admitted that he torpedoed the season because he didn't want to play the same way he played that got him to the WCF and you guys good with that?

    Hope he gets what he's looking for, as long it doesn't get in the way of the Rockets winning.

    He was a really nice guy. He will be missed. But now, he's dead to us. RIP (and I hope he is resting when we play ATL three times each year until he retires.)

    Good luck in Atlanta Dwight!

    Well, at least we know he wrote it then :grin:

    That is a very selfish reason for rooting failure for somebody.

    Dude we heard you already. No need to spam it.

    As Clutch said: "No ill will here at all towards @DwightHoward. He took a chance on #Rockets, gave us 3 good years. Good luck in Atlanta, big fella." I agree with him.

    Thanks Dwight for great playoff runs.

    Thanks Dwight for being a great person, and amazing in the community and showing what people who have money/fame should be doing with it.

    Irritated with you, Dwight, for your final season and chemistry issues. Wanted you gone, and am happy you're gone. Doesn't mean I dislike you in any way.

    I would say the Dwight signing was mostly worth it even with the compatibility issues. Obviously it didn't end well so I'll give it a B-

    Nothing against him as a person. I thought it was great that he won the kids award a few years ago.

    My issues with him have always been on the court. Glad to see him go east just in case he resurrects his athleticism and starts to dominate again.

    He still led the team to to the WCF so what's your problem? Nobody is perfect if you say you blame him for quitting where's your praise for him carrying the team on his back all way to the WCF? Also he wasn't the only one who quit, James Harden spent all summer partying and came into camp out of shape and then didn't play D all season long isn't that a form of quitting?

    Dude just made a class act when he didn't have to and you still have people ripping him up and down. WTF this is why Horford chose a rebuilding celtics team over Houston some fan bases do all they can to lift their players up CF is full of posters who do everything they can to destroy and undermine their own players. So not only do you have an apathetic fan base on the court in the TC, off the court the largest internet fan base is extremely toxic one look into this website and I'm not surprised Horford wouldn't sign with Houston he probably doesn't want internet nobodies attacking his every move and posting **** about him.

    Gonna miss the big goof. Loved what he did for us in his first two seasons here in the playoffs.
