    lol

    Yeah 6-16 and what was it 3 rebounds. That was big time I guess. Hope he can pace himself when we play the big elite west teams soon. This should be a fun ride.

    He might have had a bad game, but overall this season he's been huge.
    Seriously if he played like 6-16, 3 boards every night when Dwight was out we might not even be in the playoffs.

    Or miss the playoffs. This is not his only bad game lately. Look you can get on the Dmo ride that is fine. No one cares. These yahoos were saying they wanted Howard out or traded or gone so Dmo can get the post up plays. They got their wish so if some team fans are not happy don't need to get panties in a bunch over it. They deserve being ridiculed.

    I don't know man if Howard's knee is T-Mac level bad then Dwight is not going to be elite anymore.

    Remember the season after Tracy got his surgery his vertical got shafted by like two full feet.

    I love Dwight, but if his athleticism gets taken away then he's not worth $23 million.

    The comment applies to the jokers at the Chronicle, who don't "report" anything except what the team puts out in press releases.

    Dwight isn't worth $8 mil if his athleticism escapes him.

    At this point, take as much time as you need. With tjones, dmo and smith I think we can manage the front coart. He needs to rest as much as possiable and do what he needs to do for his knee. My only demand is if your playing right now at least be ready for playoffs. Take your time. Play games every now n then to be in shape. Just be there when playoffs are are like you did last season.

    Yeah I know and that is why I am bummed. We have years of possible max contract and no player to go with it. And no one that can replace that production. Oh well it could be worse.

    This feels like Tracy all over again. I hope he does not end up being that bad.

    He can still get rebounds and some putbacks even when his body is regressing.

    I knew **** like that was happening. Hes been hurt all along. This organization doesnt give a rats ass about someones health. Now all we need is the aheep fans to gather up and call him a p***y just like they did with tmac. Sore knees dont happen.

    True if he would accept that role, which he did not earlier this year.

    Let's all hope this is something he can recover from, because a healthy Dwight makes the team a lot better.

    How can he go from beast mode Dwight in the playoffs to poopy Dwight in just a few months? Unless his knee was a problem last year but he was hiding it.

    It had to be this, he has been protecting it, and as a result not looking like his normal self.

    I hate to be negative, but even Yao was beasting in the months preceding his injury in the Lakers series

    bone on bone.

    His knee is done. I have never seen a player recover from this sort of issue.

    The Dwight Era might be over.


    Let's face it, you don't get second opinions when you like what you hear.

    Pretty much this. If it is bone on bone, hard to imagine the Dwight era only lasted a year and a half.

    Let him rest if that's what he needs. Dmo-Tjones-Smoove can hold it down. If reports come out that he is done for the season then you worry about trading for a C or seeing what you got in Capela.

    Jeez... how bad is keeping Dorsey over Tarik Black looking now?

    Black was one of the primary reasons the Rockets were still kickin butt in Dwight's absence.
