    Lol. Is this a fantasy league? Saying Howard sucks is subjective, and means nothing in the context of having a team on the floor than can win games.

    His statsare not gaudy and his defensive presence is nowhere like Duncan's or Boozer, but neither are those of many other second tier PFs in the game. At least they get to play some minutes.

    Complete team of what? Only thing Howard has ever completed in his career is his bank account. It's complete, over the top, and overflowing.

    Yeah. For the other team.

    So does George Murehsan. So does Shawn Bradley. They are an even bigger version of a human sized dildo standing in the lane doing absolutely nothing.

    Are we talking about the same Howard?! The same Howard that

    a) Blocks less shots than guards on his team
    b) Gets less rebounds than a lot of guards out there
    c) Thinks if its worth his effort or $$ to guard his man
    d) forget about preotecting Yao, but constantly gets Yao in foul trouble coz Howard cant guard his own man
    e) bricks shots in the lane
    f) is one of the most blocked players in the game

    Hey if you want a player who can shoot an open 18 footer at somewhat a consistent basis, then you might as well play Novak.

    Howard is a pretender. A pu$$y shooter with no heart playing in a PF body.

    There is a reason why he has not achieved anything in his career.

    Well, there you go.

    Nah. It could have been worse. If you are loking at Howard for rebounding and power, you got the wrong Howard. You must be thinking of Josh Howard in Dallas.

    Saying Howard is ugly is subjective.

    Saying Howard as a player sucks based on numbers and his career play is objective.


    That's like saying Rosanne Arnold is not as pretty as Charlize Thron but you would hit it.

    They are two completely different classes!!! You cant compare them!

    Yeah but they produce. Howard doesnt produce.

    I'm not a big howard fan, but he could have done a much better job then what was on the floor. It couldn't have hurt to try and use him. He must totally be in JVG's doghouse. Remember a month ago, Jhoward said he expects to get alot of minutes. Wonder what happened. There must be more to it.

    lol. must be something personal between you and Howard. I'm not suggesting Howard is a dream PF by any means. But he doesn't have to be. Howard is starting PF caliber. If we judged by stats alone, lots of starters in the NBA would be on the bench.

    ANyhow I think something may have gone awry between Howard and Gundy. I cant see any reason why JHo wouldnt play in a game where Deke's dunks were 'blocked' repeatedly and we needed size :D .

    LOL!!!! :eek: :D

    If you really believe that then we dont need to discuss this matter anymore.

    The only thing he should be starting is his car after practice.

    ORBB,

    I got an idea for you. If you own any NBA game like NBA 2k or NBA Live, pick ANY TEAM in the NBA and play vs the Rockets, and purposely have your player attack Howard on offense. Tell me how many points you score and how many points Howard scores.

    If you score 50 points with Howard on 2k7 you unlock a pair of Ray-Bans for your create a player.

    More convincing than the theory that Howard is somehow a contributor in the areas of defense and rebounding.

    it depends on what team you pick,
    say you pick the Spurs and pick Duncan to go at Howard, you might score 100 points and unlock some achievements.

    Oh I forgot, if you play with Webber vs Howard, you might lose cause Webber would get a random injury and be out for 40 games.

    If you try to play Webber vs. Howard you get an automatic "Dirty Disc Error" and you have to send your 360 in for servicing.

    Well thats wierd.

    When I play Webber vs Howard, my system calls a "timeout" after all the Webber bricks in the closing 5 minutes of the game.

    What has the forum come to when people are asking for Howard after only 1 game? :confused:

    Looking forward to the time when Rockets have a few more games under their belt and much better discussions.

    Remember when we had Juwon, MoTay AND Kenny T all at the same time for a brief period? The guy we needed least back then (well that can be argued) would fit best with this current team.

    Though I don't think Howard is quite as bad as people say he is. If he was an undrafted player out of a small school, we wouldn't be as hard on him.
