    I think Dwight is in the same boat as Frauden regarding untapped potential but damn.. It's times like these where you can really see Dwight can lock down and lead the team even being over shadowed by Frauden.

    I wish we could keep Dwight but he is getting older and I think he is fed up with the Rockets & fat boy.

    He really supported everything Houston while he was here too, damn shame.

    Also if Thronton isn't on the squad next season Dwight is 100% for sure GONE

    Beside his free throw shooting, Dwight has shown up throughput his tenure for us. Hope we don't deal him.

    Clutch,

    When is your next podcast with MK Bower? It has been a while and I don't recollect hearing too many this season.

    I have lost my powers, I tried last night in the Detroit game and the team came up short anyway.

    I need a new wand.

    How bad is the sprain. I bet some numb nuts already asking to sell high. But I doubt anybody could bring it like Dwight does for the PlayOffs as a big. But a healthy up to speed Dmo + resurgence of Capela might be greater overall than Dwight. Don't get me wrong though DH12 is still a beast.

    Every body has their own unique personality. Howard's lightheartedness, playfulness & friendliness has helped him become the player who he is which is still a Dominant Center in the NBA for many years. We all know bout Harden. He has flaws but is truly a special one. That is exactly why u need a disciplinarian to keep everyone especially the superstars focused and prepared every game.

    Coach JB has done well considering that this is his first year as a head coach especially after the free-fall to start the season. He will surely improve as time goes on. The truth is he has been a large part of the same system and principles we have seen under Coach McHale's tenure of success and failures. During post game interviews, what would u rather hear from an MVP level player? More excuses or "oh man i hate our coach he's a hard nose mofo but #wedabest ! "

    JB's small ball in the end is like ...
    Okay he should have taken Clint out, he didn't
    then within the 2 min, he took Client out
    We didn't have to go small with Clint. Randy Whitman is horrible coach. Oh, man oh man.

    Believing in the magical powers of the Draft would give you all hope at least

    Here is the question: Now Harden seems to back to usual self and we pretty much have the same team as the last year, but not getting the same result as last year. What gives? DMO?

    No healthy DMo is a big deal. These close losses would all be wins. On top of that JBB is somehow even a step down to McHale. Defense is far worse this year.

    They probably make a business decision and it is nothing personal

    Not voluntarily turning its back on Howard but it is likely to happen

    The other solution would be pro Howard but you risk him being injured and declining
