Absolutely. Dwight deserves criticism for being unmotivated. Just like Harden deserves criticism for being a bad teammate to Dwight. You don't...
He wasn't voted an all-star. Look how many games he missed to start the season. But he was absolutely playing all-star caliber basketball. My...
You are implying that, after joining us, Dwight Howard was only capable of one good season. You've consistently ignored how the Rockets' broken...
As I've already stated, Howard was still in his prime but past his peak in his first year with us. This was proven by his all-star selection and...
More minutes played, more field goals attempted, higher usage. Also, both those guys were known for attacking the rim.
Sorry, but that's just stupid. You're using an outlier series that everyone thinks was rigged and trying to act as if that's the status quo? Be...
I haven't made anything up. You compared Dwight/CP3/Westbrook joining the Rockets to McGrady joining the Spurs. You also said that Howard wasn't...
Are you seriously trying to prove a point by referencing a series that everyone considers to be rigged? And how do you reconcile that against...
We were the favorites though. The Spurs series. After Kawhi Leonard got hurt, we were big favorites in game 6; we all remember how that turned out.

He was playing at a HOF level when he joined us. Since Harden directly contributed to Dwight's downfall, it's unfair to criticize the caliber of...
The majority of the time he was in Houston, Howard was disgruntled because his offensive role had been reduced. You understand this, right?
Whose making things up? Dwight Howard was an all-star and all-NBA 2nd team in his first year with us. Was he at his peak? No. But he was...
Not sure about that. Aldridge was a floor spacer, and we needed Dwight to protect the interior. Also, we didn't want him in foul trouble. Why...
Maybe we would've won if Harden shot better than 38% from the field and 30% from the 3pt line. Also, wasn't Terrence Jones the primary defender...
As long as you're adding context, you should note that Jordan played in an era where fewer fouls were called which made it more difficult to...
The problem is, you don't know much. For instance, you were unaware that Howard and CP3 were both playing at a HOF level when they joined us....
