I did notice that Dwight was drawing the double team in the 2nd quarter, but that's a good thing, because it leaves another man open and creates a play. Dwight is a good passer too, so this should not discourage the team from passing to him in the post.
If you want Dwight to have more touches and be a dominant center,tell Mchale to start Lin and let them run the PnR 40% of their plays, put 2 best shooters of the team w/ team ball attitude and let Harden wait in the wing to penetrate the lane or shoot the open J.And for Christ sake if everyone wants a championship or at least to contend for the crown,everyone needs to have a specific role,enough w/ the adjustment bull crap,and for the fans if you are a Houston fan then support your players and the team enough w/ the bickering,NEGATIVITY brings down the whole team.
If Dwight is open inside then definitely feed it to him. In the 2nd half last night he was surrounded most of the time. You are absolutely right that Howard drawing so much attention opens up opportunities for teammates. Likewise, Harden drawing so much of the defense's attention also creates opportunities as it did for Lin last night. Here's Dwayne Casey's comment following the game: Defensively we did as good a job as we could on (James) Harden. We knew we had to give up something and it was Jeremy Lin. http://www.torontosun.com/2013/11/11/pesky-raps-take-rockets-to-double-ot-before-losing That's what star players are suppose to do...make their teammates better.
