    So you stared at him awkwardly without saying anything while he was hanging out with his relative? Go figure ;)

    The usual stuff....free throws, turnovers.

    Also Dwight's propensity for offensive goaltending on put-backs. Stop it.

    What do you mean by "he clearly knew who I knew who he was the moment I saw him". I'm not sure what you are trying to say here...

    ...not only does it sound like you were kinda creepin on him, but you seem kinda jelly that he was flirting with girls at TP instead of you, lol.

    I'm not sure how that makes him a dick ;)

    We have clear coaching problems. By this point though im tired of complaining about Mchale its not to change anything the players are going to have to figure this out themselves. Harden is going to have to start yelling at people.

    Free throws by any of our big guys. I dislike things that actually make me cringe.

    Still, I have to say that there are a lot more things to be happy about with this team than there are to be frustrated about. On the whole, I'm happy as a Rockets fan. ;)

    The fact that all of our shooters seem to go cold at the same time.

    Can we diversify our cold streaks?

    WHAT A DICK!!!

    How dare him not say anything to you.. even though you stated that you infact also did not say anything to him.. why is he the dick and not you again? or are you both dicks? or are you both not dicks for not bothering people you have no acquaintance with?

    WHAT A DICK!!!

    He only tipped $100? I mean WTF!! (btw what did you tip?)

    You very well may actually be the dick in this situation- especially after publicly talking sh/t about someone for seemingly doing.. nothing?

    some stats to quantify the eye test:

    Howard is shooting 57.8% on his assisted FGAs (pick and roll, alley oop, etc)
    Howard is shooting 42.2% on unassisted FGAs (post ups).
    Howard accounts for 24% of the teams' turnovers while on the court (almost exclusively coming from Post Ups)

    DMO is shooting 59.3% on his ssisted FGAs
    DMO is shooting 45.9% on his unassisted FGAs (not counting 3s)
    DMO accounts for 18.6% of the teams' turnovers while on the court
    *Strange stat -
    DMO when unassisted shoots 33.3% on shots less than 5 ft from the rim
    DMO when unassisted shoots 65.9% on shots between 5-9 ft from the rim

    My shaky conclusions:
    1) Numbers confirm Dwight is horrible at post ups. He turns the ball over and misses shots.
    2) DMO is great at hooks (and more rarely, fade aways) but is awful at finishing around the rim.

    I think it's important to note that a lot of the turnovers that Howard or DMo would be credited with are actually poor passes. For whatever reason they give the turnover to the player the ball is being passed to instead of the player who threw the bad pass.

    Exactly. Entry passes on this team are so bad.

    So D-Mo is 3 percent better than Dwight at post-ups?

    That ain't good either!

    Kostas is not a dick. Saw him in his white audi suv near the toyota center two weeks ago. I said what's up and he said "how are you doing" right back. Quick and to the point. I'm sure had I not said anything he wouldn't have either but that doesn't make him a dick

    that's true - the actual TO% is inflated due to bad entry passes. But assuming Dwight and DMO both get the same crappy entry passes, i'm thinking you can compare their TO%'s

    I think your theories are ridiculous, sorry.
