    Jeez... is this really the prime years of Howard?

    at least with McGrady, the Rockets saw the all-nba version for 1 year.

    This pattern comes back night after night. Again Casspi's only mark on his stats line is one missed shot. However, he is the Rocket with +14 in the +/- column when all the starters are in - (except Jones at 0).

    What can we learn from that. MOVE THE BALL and avoid TOs! It's that simple. Casspi has become the best Rocket in ball movement. He passes immediately to the open guy. With a quick team like the Rockets, they simply have to move better without the ball and get open shots.

    Howard on an terribly off night = 10 rebounds, 2 blocks, 2 assists by the third quarter.

    That's exciting.

    It gets so annoying man. Yeah Howard is having a bad offensive game, it is what it is. No one is going to play perfect for all 82 games. No one.

    Even Durant can be off for a game and look bad. It happens.

    Yeah Howard should be owning Bargnani but for whatever reason it is not happening. I can't remember how many nights Yao was owned by some scrub center. It happens, luckily for us Howard is still blocking shots and getting rebounds and we are getting scoring from our other positions.

    The come back was unfortunate, but it was just a few breakdowns. Melo has been the only guy that has really hurt us, if we keep it that way we should get a W tonight.

    Has Bargnani ever shut down any centers in the league? Jesus Howard!

    If Barg was black, i would have mistaken him for Chandler with his tenacious defense on Howard.

    the only reason dwight should ever post up is to draw the double team... his post moves are turrrible.

    just grab the rebounds and block shots

    I gotta agree with Chucster. Howard doesn't know how to post up.
