    LOL the scary thing is, in the playoffs, we're supposed to feed the ball to dwight more when the game slows down....

    With another portland loss, its looking like we're going to get the warriors for the playoffs.

    Portland is free falling at a very wrong time. Damn it. I'd rather face them than the Warriors.

    These guys factored into the overall record we had last year just as the new players stepping up now has... outside of all that Dwight is the major upgrade that makes this team a top team in the west versus a team that barely makes the playoffs.

    This might be a disaster in the making...... It's really hard to justify Dwight's price tag with all the mistakes he makes. He turns the ball more than anyone else on the team on average doing his dumb post up fails.. I just hope they confront him and tell him to play PnR on the offensive end from now on..

    Nice to win games you are supposed too!

    Haven't had a bad loss since January 10th to Atlanta.

    he's still a very good player overall especially with his D and rebounding and shot blocking...its just his offense isn't gonna be effective when he tries to post up massive defensive centers like deandre jordan, perkins, tim duncan, andrew bogut...

    Let's see....

    Jordan - Clippers
    Perkins - OKC
    Duncan - Spurs
    Bogut - GSW

    Uh, anyone else see a potential problem? :eek:

    He has a good game posting up opposing centers every blue moon or so. So it's not so much they are massive. I still find it hard to believe posters question if he's a legit 6'11 or not when he clearly has major height over the guys on the team and opposing teams that are listed at 6'10 or shorter. He's on par with 6'11 and over guys. So the main solution is to have him play pick and roll at just about all times on the defensive end because he really shouldn't post up at all, ever.

    DHo needs to go to the Hyberbolic Training Chamber with the dream to get his post game. Not enough time for the playoffs otherwise. Yes it has improved but not enough.

    Harden is already super saiyan, now howard needs to do it too.

    Add Steven Adams to that list.

    They've all shut him down. Not sure about Bogut though, haven't watched a game with them matching up.

    Man, off topic but I was looking through some of the remaining schedules and Denver is being thrown into a meat grinder. Good god.

    No guarantees of anything. I'm fine with facing either of those teams though. We have the Warriors number.

    I post in a number of threads. Lots of posts in the Melo trade thread, Asik trade thread and some other threads. Just haven't had the time to read through ALL the threads on Clutchfans. The number of posts per day on Clutch is crazy now.

    That and it's clear that lines have pretty much ossified on both sides of the Lin discussion, so you're really not going to convince anyone of pretty much anything anymore. The more moderate readers have reached their own conclusions for the most part.

    This seems like an odd game to be used to bust Howard over his play. The guy just missed 3 games with an injury that required surgery. Perhaps that doesn't factor in for some of you, but it sure as hell factors in when I look at his play tonight and draw an opinion.
