    If Howard thinks he is the face of the franchise coming here, he's going to be sorely disappointed. It's Harden's team and he'll get even better.

    Hope he isn't going to sulk when the media credits Harden more than him.

    He just needs to start to dominating his position once again, esp. defensively.

    If D12 just let's his game do the talking, and doesn't bring drama into the locker room, he'll be surprised all the respect he gets, as well as his part/piece of the team. Just be mature, and let it come to him by being the player everyone knows he is. It really is that easy.

    Just to make it clear, the trolls are often LOHs pretending to be LOFs because they know how touchy the subject is. Please don't fall for it.

    Phil must be stoned or something.

    I find it a bit odd, since he's being so pro-Laker right now, that the background to his twitter page is his Bulls championship rings. It's not like he doesn't have rings with the Lakers too.

    This is Dwight's team now dawg. Back with Orlando he scored 45 pts and had 26 rebounds against GSW in GS in which all he did was throw up one running hook shot after another after another.... Enjoy these highlights:

    Yes. If Howard brings his best game to Houston, it will be his team by default of being the best player.

    The best player usually by default is the face of the franchise.

    Ex. Paul George in Indiana last year. Came from nowhere to be the leader of that team.

    One thing I've realized: with both Howard and Harden, just how many times is the team going to go to the free throw line a game?? Howard and Harden are good for 10 FTs each per game. That's A LOT of free throws. Be prepared for some long ass games... :p

    Should the astros trade howard for three prospects in 2029 and 2030? He is getting up there in age. Blahh, it looks like genie hacked phil jaxxon's account.

    Gasol is a better fit for pringles? Didn't pringles bench him? or was that mike brown or was that jackson's right hand slap. so many coaches I can't remember.

    Aren't those 11 pictured all of them? 6 w/ the Bulls and 5 w/ the Lakers.


    Edit: the actual background of the page is just (typically) zoomed in too much..it's the same pic as the avatar of all 11 rings.

    Pau fits the DMA scheme? Is that why D'antoni cried like a baby about Pau not fitting in? "Oh woe is me, I'm an NBA head coach yet I can't find a way to use a good player, please trade him for Matt Bonner". Get outta here. Get off Jeanie's nuts already, you used to be a man once Phil.

    Hopefully we give Dwight the ball when he's in the posts and not just have him run P&R

    Dwight isn't an efficient post scorer. He's the best Pick and Roll big man in the league.

    This. Howard will get his fair share of post ups but our best offense is going to be P&R. Lin/Howard and Harden/Howard will both be very good pick and roll options for us.

    He will be an efficient post scorer once mchale teaches him the up & under.
