This series, I'm convinced that Dwight is the right pickup for the Rockets. He's stepped up his game and played both sides of the court, unlike others...
Yes, he's been excellent. A dumb play here and there but the effort, intensity, and focus have all been there. Safe to say the back isn't bothering him any longer.
Those two clutch blocks at the end of the 4th. His clutch free throws. He's the real deal. Glad we got him..not sure if he's glad he chose us instead of Dallas though lol. Oh well, he's stuck with us for at least two more seasons
Better than expected. I feel badly for him, actually... I really do think he came here b/c he felt it gave him the best shot at winning. You have to think he might be questioning that a little bit at this point.
You cant ask for more out of your superstar player. I am glad we have him for the next few years because he is dominating. Cant wait to see him with a better more seasoned team next year.
A+ Literally the only way we can get a stop is when dwight does such a good job blocking the shot that he catches the block himself otherwise every possession equals a defensive fail. We've got the LBJ Dwayne wade problem going on right now where DHO and JH havent figured out how to make each other better, just one playing well and the other standing around. Dwight's been man handling opponents on offense and defense and everyone around him is failing him, he definitely regrets his decision to come here right now, good thing is we are a coaching change away from being legitimate.
even despite the atrocious officiating specifically on him, he's still played with guts and become this team's leader. i have no doubt if we eventually get an upgrade at PG, possibly rondo, that the extra easy setups he'll get will make him the top big man in the league again. i hope the front office doesn't waste too much time though, because he's not getting any younger..
Dwight and Harden need to spend at least a month this offseason just figuring out how they can coexist and play to each others' strengths.
Leading by example! Dwight has been incredible this series. A+++. Hustle, focus, skill, heart have all been there. Only thing missing is better chemistry with Harden.
Best player on the Rockets by far, hit clutch FT's, clutch blocks, just overall been great especially the energy. Shame the team's let him down so far.
Maybe Dwight will have a come to Jesus moment. Didn't Lebron and DWade go on vacay together their first off season and hash everything out / develop a gameplan? That doesn't sound like something these 2 would do lol... but it would be great if they did.
Can't get too down on Howard, he's done enough for the Rox to be leading this series. He's not a go to post player though and force feeding him down the stretch is not a good dependable play. The team just pretty much isoed either Harden or Dwight down the stretch and they became way to predictable and easy to stop.
Seems like something Dwight would be okay with, Harden seems more like he wouldn't do something like that. Different personalities but both great players, but no question he made a mistake picking Houston over Golden State.
