There's a lot of JHO haters out, and I'm one of those guys who wanted him to be traded this year, but we all have to agree that he has been the most consistent player and most productive (minutes wise) player on our roster this year. I love the way JVG has been using him this year and he's really providing a lot of help of the bench. He's also been a monster on the boards.
I agree. I like how he really stepped up his game especially now with Yao being out. If he plays like this every game it would be awsome.
First, stop calling him JHO to show some respect. His name is Juwan Howard. J.HO just doesnt sound right.
Respect to him for stepping up on the boards to make himself more valuable as a way to respond to getting benched, instead of sulking.
Much respect for Juwan Howard. I didn't think he'd be able to adjust to coming off the bench, but he has and more. I was really hoping to see him and Bonzi man the second team for us in the playoffs. Hopefully it'll still happen.
if thats the case, this month has been very generous to juwan, and extremely stingy to everybody else.
No, I don't think I do have to agree with that (Yao?). He's played well in December, and he was atrocious in November. We can expect his level of play for the rest of the year to fall somewhere in between.
yes. jho deserves some respect for his play lately. he is no longer worth dumping for anything we can get. hopefully he can keep up his play all season.
Zboy! Oh Zboy! Where are you now? Oh, he's hiding? Awww poor Zboy. What happened Zboy? Did Juwan Howard prove you wrong? It's ok. I'm sure you can move on and pick another player to hate on. How about Bobby Sura? There's nothing better than hating on a player that's not producing (or playing). Sura is clearly not cutting it. He's all yours Zboy!
I can't quite understand all the Jho hating. It's not like there are alot of better alternatives available. Yes, he's overpaid, but who in the league isn't?
I agree with you completely, I just don't like his contract and the money he's been getting for what he does.
Howard has been overated almost his entire career. He is no athlete and he is not the ideal pf for any team. But the guy has worked his ass off, he fought his way out of the bench. he couldve just sat at the end of the bench and cashed his 10 mil-plus salary this year but he has what a lot of players these days are lacking, hearth. Hate him or love him he has been a good surprise. Sure the howard of last year deserved to be benched, but this is a new howard. and dammit he earned his playing time and his kudos, he has really stepped up. He sucks and hes not an athlete, he can barely jump or get rebounds, but he is getting his minutes on a 17-12 team, so he must be doing something right. For the record he started playing better ever since before yao got injured so his minutes have no increased necessarily because of that. In short.....His stock is on the rise
you are right....look at kmart...or cweb or pretty...even kg is overpaid, didnt he get a record deal...of $2.5 billion for 10 years a few years back...or was 120 mil...i cant remember but you sure could fund his own small country. hell he hasnt even won a championship yet
Well give Zboy a break! He had his points then because JHO did play horribly at that time. But even ugly duckling could become into a beautiful swan, not to mention veteran like JHO.
