Dwight taking subliminal shots at Harden in post game?

Clutchfans folks, like everyone these days. luv to read what they want hear into everything. As if what he said isn't true. Just Let It Be already !

stop the rumors-gossip-misguided "advice".

Go Rockets !

 

No. Not his numbers. He should have gotten that rebound. Like I said previously, he wasn't perfect. Nobody on the team was.

 

Dwight is right. He left it all out there. He can be proud of how he played and how he represented the Rockets. Im happy Dwight is here and adding to the legacy of big men for our franchise, and If I were him I would be frustrated too, knowing that only a handful of guys let their nuts hang in the moment.

 

yup dwight shouldn't be worried about boxing bigs, its the guards he should worry about. 1 on 5 rebounding

 

Look, it's one play. That play didn't lose the series. But how can you look at this and tell me he shouldn't have gotten that rebound?

 

then you should stop talking about that one play only to nitpick something pretty meaningless. if thats the thing you have to criticize howard then hes obviously doing something right

 

No, I think he was hurting, and they were extra cautious with him, obviously by the way he played in the playoffs it was not a serious thing.

But in all honesty, Dwight does not hustle as much as he used to, you can see a serious decline in his abilities happening - he can still be a beast at times, but his post game is awful, his rebounding while good to great at times he can give up crucial ones because he doesn't move his feet much any more, he rebounds in an area and doesn't go get it, like he used to.....his rebounding now reminds me of Yao.....if it is in his area he will get it.

Dwight's biggest issue is that he is just not a killer, not a guy who is willing to go all out to win, not someone that works on his game, so when things get tough, he makes far too many mental mistakes to be counted on.

Harden too, BTW - I don't think either of them are particularly good leaders.

So, to me, what is lacking is mostly leadership and commitment to excellence.

Yea nitpick Dwight for being "great at times" in rebounding for missing 1 or 2 boards. Smart analysis there. When did Dwight have a post game prior to Houston? Everybody knew what they were getting. He's still proficient with both hands on both blocks. Just because he cant do dreamshakes behind the basket falling out of bounds doesnt mean he's declining. He needs a good PG, he needs a guy who knows when and HOW to make the entry pass, repost positioning. Dude is a monster still defensively. I dont get the hate honestly.

Put a pass first PG next to him and see what happens. Dwight was out there barking at guys trying to hold them accountable, **** that type of 'leadership' starts with the coach and if you have a p***y ass pinkface that drowns in the moment then that will rub off on the team. Unfair to put that squarely on Dwight.

 

Read my posts, when I mentioned "that one play" it was a part of a list. You and Apollo are the ones that picked out that one play. And I agree, Howard is doing something right. He's played great. No arguments here.

 

Why does it seem like everyone is forgetting that Dwight nearly had to sit this last game, would have for sure sat the next game and possibly the next because of his lack of self control.

That's not being a leader and giving it your all.

I love the guy. He's our 2nd best player and I believe with some tweaks we can be even better next year, but come on. He can't go without blame, especially the way some of you are bringing the hate towards other guys.

 

Or it means it was serious and the guy toughed it out and played well despite the injury and in part because of the rest and treatment he received.

What you claim was obvious wasn't obvious but just the way you chose to look at it.

Again whatever change in hustle there was may have more to do with the injury and physical deterioration, which again would indicate he's tough as hell to give us what he's done. There were plays when he was running all over the place on defense and erasing all the other players mistakes with his play and hustle.

 

irrelevant information

 

Oh ok

 

i like dwight. but he's no leader on this team, either.

he played great in the first quarter last night. that's all-time great kinda performance and it instantly led to jvg singing praises. but he wasnt able to sustain that level in the game after the first quarter.

 

I mean the guy only lead us to the WCF on MVP #s with an injury decimated roster with minimal help.. But yeah he isn't a good leader no way.

 

yup his play on the court speaks volumes where he leads by example. try talking about actual basketball play first instead of irrelevant notes like dwight almost didn't play when he did.

 

The team went from being out in the 1st round of the playoffs to being one of the last four teams standing. That's progress. I'm hype for next season.

The warriors didn't get this far last year. Look at them now.

 

Why is everyone forgetting that alot of those 'self control' technicals were out of control referee's? He didnt earn all of the flagrants and technicals he was awarded.

Cherry picking works both ways.

 

Well how do you think he almost got suspended. Stupid plays. Not being mentally there. Come on man. missed free throws? Not boxing out all the time?There is plenty of blame to go around. Yet it seems as if Dwight has done no wrong and Harden the damn drunk ruined this for us.

If your takeaway from this postseason is Dwight is the man and Harden is to blame then you have an obvious bias.

 

never said I was blaming harden. I'm just calling it how it is. Howard was the most consistent/best player in the playoffs once again. if you're so surprised that harden receives alot of criticism, you shouldn't be. not sure why you would either. it comes with the territory of being a supposedly mvp candidate.
