    Dwight was here for 3 years. he put in 2 years of "tremendous" effort. That's 95% effort 66.7% of the time he was here.

    someone check my work.

    I really appreciate Dwight's first two years. It just leaves such bad taste in my mouth when someone basically quits on the team. If this Rockets team had pick and roll/defensive minded Dwight they'd probably be even better than they are now. Wish his mindset was different in the end.

    Cheer him after the video, then I don't care if he's killed by the fans during the game. Maybe he will shrink if fans choose to boo.

    Booo Bazemore? We should be cheering for Baze as the Rockets dodged a bullet there.

    In all likelihood, we wouldn't have got Eric Flash Gordon if we signed the scrubby Bazemore

    Fans have their rights. We'll consider our options. We'll see what happens.

    Allow hardcore fans to bring in 100+ proof alcohol beverages that can be converted into molotifs to be lit and tossed in Dwight's direction.

    Wtf?

    leslie alexander called him the biggest free agent acquisition in rockets history. He chose houston when every team/city wanted him.

    Is it lame to take that into account when discussing whether or not houston should boo him?

    When the playoffs showed up..Dwight balled. Disheartening to see that he took it easy for the regular season though. He is a good person. Weird..but good person... He does however always find ways to leave an organization in a foul mood afterwards. While I dont think people should boo Dwight, I expect him to get a poor welcome.

    I think Dwight Howard was very professional during his stay in Houston and he gave us some GREAT playoff games. I will cheer for him.

    Don't need to give him a standing ovation, but cheer him. Dude is cringey and a locker-room mess but he tried and played well every season except for last. Playoff Dwight always seemed to show up.

    The hardcore fan in my wants to boo the hell out of him.

    My sensible side says we should give him a small round of applause and then boo the hell out of him when the game starts.

    I will say this every person young or old that I have talked to at Toyota center this season all have negative stuff to say about Dwight when he's name has been brought up.

    This leads me to believe that he will hear a lot of boos come tom night.

    I just hope it's a packed house. Super Bowl is here games on TNT. Lets show the world that Houston is the center of all sports this weekend

    Hell we even have UFC on Saturday. All Houston everything this week.
