NewYorker, With all due respect, (and I am stating this as a fact) you are completely wrong. If you don't understand why Juwan is in the doghouse, you need to watch him play. You say he's big, but you leave out that he is softer than a baby's butt. He doesn't rebound or block shots. You say he has a nice jumper, but leave out that he misses shots close to the rim more than 50 % of the time. In order to "deserve respect" his presence on the court has to have a positive impact for the team he plays on. Juwan's presence NEVER has a positive impact on the Rockets. Juwan Howard doesn't do the "little things" that help teams win, yet his reputation is that he does do the little things. Just laughable. If Juwan continues to be left out of the rotation, it increases the Rockets odds of advancing in the playoffs, no doubt about it.
