Truly hope the Rockets can keep it up.. two half game.. Last year I wouldn't be comfortable with a lead, especially on TNT, but this year im confident in our Defense.
We could be up 60 at the half and Howard can have 40/20 and it still does not impress the dumbasses at TNT. It's all because they miss Duncan and Manu. Uh huh, 4-0 last season with them.
Right. I can't believe that after fifteen years in the league Barkley couldn't learn to play defense. See how easy it is, Chuck?
My goodness Chuck and the amount of Hate that he has for the Rockets is unbelievable. He has to be one of the biggest sore a$$es of all time.
Let's rest our starter our own way. Full thrust and destroy the Spurs. Then rest our star players in the 4th Q. http://www.fantasybasketballmoneyleagues.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Spurs-Logo.jpg

Funny thing, this is the Dwight Howard that took the Magic to the finals. The one that had 0 post game and scored off assists and garbage buckets. I think Shaq is wrong that he could average over 20 easily every year because it's something in his 11 year career he's never done consistently...he's not that type of player. He's a defender, rebounder, blocker, defensive anchor player. Nothing wrong about that. You don't have to be an all around player to be a all time great. Look at Dirk. Dirk will never be some things Dwight is and Dwight will never be some things Dirk is. It is what it is. Not every player can be Lebron or Jordan and fulfill the tools of their position completely. Barkley wasn't even a complete player so he needs to STFU about it. Dwight is producing and his team is winning, that's all that matters.
Honestly though, that's true for most players. Not too many guys make a huge jump after their first 5 or 6 seasons in the league... just incremental improvements at best after that. The biggest improvements usually happen in the first few seasons, and Dwight did get a lot better during his early years in Orlando. Expecting him to suddenly turn into a different player at age 29 is asinine. He is what he is, and by the way, what he is in today's game is a superstar, even if he isn't the low post machine Chuck and Shaq want him to be.
