    Is it just me, or does Dwight's demeanor on the court seem too nonchalant.

    He needs to get mean.

    Orlando dwight used to get mean. He was still his goofy self but he got mean..

    WHERE IS MEAN DWIGHT

    Our team just gave up 137 points in regulation. Who gives a **** about Dwight's "demeanor"?

    Plus we're 3-0 (3-1 now.) There's not exactly a sense of urgency.

    thats how you cement team culture.. a lasting attitude of doing whatever it takes to win in the locker room.

    when you start to do it in the playoffs its too late. the best have already been at that level all year.

    What do you want him to do? Cry after every loss?

    Knee jerk post game 4 of the season. I love losses as much as wins in the garm. Reading the stuff y'all type when were losing is hilarious.

    Trade harden he sucks

    2 mins later...... Harden is god

    Some of you are too emotional and look like damn fools.

    The only bright spot for me tonight was seeing Dwight roll his eyes and pat DJ on the back after DJ yelled and complained to the refs for 2 minutes. Made me lol.

    no..

    i want him to stop ball watching, move his feet more on defense, rotate quicker, make more decisive moves, DEMAND the ball from midget guards trying to go ISO..

    he needs to wake up his "motor". he's getting his boards regardless but I wish effort had a stat

    Dwight actually did OK. He got in foul trouble early, so he didn't have alot of minutes. He actually went for the dunk on post ups, which I've always wanted him to do instead of an ugly sky hook. I want to see him get more physical on the post, get the foul, miss the free throws even, but get the other team into foul trouble.

    In Howard's mind there is only one way to play basketball, and that's where he receives the ball in the post on every possession. Pick and roll be damned.

    I think the three questionable fouls called on Dwight in the first quarter were a much bigger problem than him being too nonchalant. He can be as mean as he wants, it doesn't help if he is sitting on the bench.

    I don't care as long as he continues to shoot decent from the FT line.

    Howard really has no offensive game, I hate to say it. I have no idea How he ever averaged 22 PPG. He has no post moves and can't shoot jumpers. He can score off put backs and dunk, but that's about it. Am I the only rockets fan who has been disappointed with Howard thus far?? He is basically a Mutombo with better hands.

    Have you watched the Heat play the last 2 years. With the exception of a few games, teams moonwalk through the first 60 games or so.

    It's about building and working out the bugs for the Rockets. We got outplayed by a great team that has played together, on their home floor. The team played poorly, games like this are gonna happen.

    So many people overreact, it astonishes me.

    BTW have you watched Tim Duncan, or even the Dream. Body language is grossly overrated.
