They made some harsh but valid points. Dwight has to be a dominant center that can score at will. It's going to be incredibly difficult to rely solely on spotty three point shooting and Harden going for 30 every night during the playoff stretch. We'll see what happens with Smoove. He's been putting in some good minutes and kept us in the CLE game yesterday. You heard the experts, Rockets. Prove them wrong.
No 1-2 punch in H-town. You know it and I know it. Howard is nothing more than a role player. The Rockets need Dragic bad
i can accept what shaq said about dwight. barkley is just a hater. i don't even know what kenny said. i'll take calvin any day over these guys and mr photoshop..
Why is everybody worried about Dwight in the Post Season.. As long as he is healthy, When has he not showed up during the playoffs?
I despise how personally motivated their hate is on TNT - but I'm with you on this. In a brutal, brutal West I've seen no indication yet that anyone not named Harden is going to push the Rockets towards a title, and it takes more than one guy. Long season yet to play, though - and the talent is largely there.

Apparently Knicks has adequate post defense because we aren't exactly outrebounding them and even DMo hasnot been getting good post position
Not very true. Shay would be 12 points 6 rebounds 6 fouls type of player in today's NBA. Bigs have to be skilled to dominate in today's NBA. Dwight is an all world defender, that is what he's paid to do. Getting 18 or 20 from him are great games, 14-17 are very good. Double doubles are what he gets us, and is paid to get us.
I agreed with Kenny's comments regarding Smith. Tired of hearing the same crap about him. Howard absolutely does not need to be Hakeem. However, he does need to step up his game
Dwight doesn't look like the same player. We need both to be great. One showing up equals first round exit.
Man he doesn't. Dwight is never going to be Hakeem post him up and drop 20 doing it. It's never happening. He can certainly be a dominant game changing player not doing that though. Old Dwight scored more than current Dwight and Old Dwight was even WORSE posting up before working with McHale/Hakeem/Rockets. he's trying to be something he's not, it's like if Durant decided that he wanted to outdo Lebron and started bringing the ball up every time down the court or trying to be more of a playmaker. Not his style, not his game.
What I hate about Dwight is TO after TO after TO. Just read the defense quickly. Develop that side bank shot ala Tim Duncan wth, you still can't shoot beyond 2 feet?
