    Any chance the dream teaches him a staple move and then after his masters that then he learns variations of it..

    Stop learning this BS fadeaway even though dream said to cut that crap out

    Trade Asik.

    Dwight/Hakeem/McHale
    McHale/Hakeem
    Chandler
    Harden
    Lin

    Sort of sucks to start McHale and not Hakeem. Maybe Dwight goes to the bench.

    Dream footwork is still amazing. Dwight is too stiff, hopefully he gets it.

    I think its up to Dwight to come up with that. He needs to play with various moves (some from McHale and Hakeem) and do what feels right with his body mechanics (create/alter a move) and then practice, practice, practice. Nobody expects him to do Hakeem ballet. Shaq did a good job of working with his bulk/mechanics but he did have great finesse for a guy that size. On the other hand, Dwight might be a better athlete than any of those guys so hopefully he can leverage that. One thing I do know he will make a killing of pick and rolls with Lin and HardOn aka "Angle Voice".

    Man if Howard gets at least 50% of the Dream Shake down, that would be outright scary for the NBA. Love how they are breaking down the post game piece by piece.

    Would kill just to be able to sit and watch the session in person.

    I hate fadedeaways. Hope he learns the fundamentals right from Dream. Good to see that Hakeem still has it~

    i am saying it right now, howard will win MVP and DPOY. Can the media change 'dwightmare' already. He has done enough to redeem himself.

    lol at screaming a cleverly omitting a certain player.

    I think he has a shot if he can get his scoring in the mid 20's and we finish with a top 3 seed.

    We need to be the 1 seed for this to be the case

    don't forget that Olajuwon at UH and the first few years was more of a power player....he slowly matured into a good mixture of finesse and power

    He was also the proverbial black hole on offense but learned how to pass as well.
