    So both the athletic bigs and the unathletic bigs (Yao) can contain him? Then who can he dominate?

    TJ should do more to get the open shot when Ibaka leaves him to get over to Dwight.

    Put howard at of and asik as center. I think we should use the twin towers ally more on teams like this such as we used Yao and motobo in certain situations.

    not really a vs thunder thing, but do you think Howard could develop a mid range shot ? teams know he'll try everytime to get to the rim, if he had a 45° bank shot ala Duncan (Griffin is becoming quite good at this one) he would be so much better :(

    This actually worries me because if you want to get to the championship, you have to go through OKC at some point. The fact that Howard got OWNED by OKC this season is a sign of concern for us fans.

    It basically shows two things: 1). Howard can be neutralized and get taken out of the game 2). His FT will continue haunt us in the playoffs when teams employ the hack-a-howard strategy even if Howard is having a strong game.

    You can't go far in the playoffs when teams can basically neutralize one of your two stars.

    Having Asik is a great insurance and may prove to be a season saving move by Morey.

    Adams is a very good prospect. Presti strikes gold in draft again and again.

    Duncan is the first one that I can recall using that move as a staple, mostly when facing up on the post. The others picked it up from him
