When Dwight sets screens, I have been noticing that he hardly breaks to the basket also, but just stands in around the screen clogging up the area and making it easier for the defense. It's almost as if he doesn't really want it to be successful but has to give the appearance of running the PnR. Dwight also needs to learn out to just go straight down the middle of the lane with his hands in the air and how to slide off to one side depending on the defender, so that he can show the refs how his progress is being impedded to get more fouls called on the other team; instead of always trying to wrestle with them for position.
Dwight is keeping DMo down because Dwight hates DMo for having nice looking post moves. Dwight's post moves are ugly.
nah. Remember the Denver game? Besides it's not even Dwight who is denying DMo. Couple times PBev and Ariza denied him.
I honestly think it might be an ego thing, Harden and Howard start forcing things almost every time after DMo scores a few times in the post. I noticed it last night in the first quarter, it's like they get upset if they aren't involved enough even if the team is doing well....which they were up until that point. Then of course they went to the bench and everything fell apart.
With the latest trade, the Rockets have plenty of potential matching contracts heading into the February trade deadline. In fact, as much as we have relied on Ariza this year, he can be thrown into a the right trade, too, if need be now that we have Brewer on board to likely fill in for him with some degree of competence. So...

No clue on how's he played this season but obviously bad enough to get the axe. That said, a motivated JSmoove on this squad would be dangerous. DANGEROUS.
