http://mweb.cbssports.com/nba/eye-o...uld-have-waited-longer-with-bad-back?v=1&vc=1 Seems like Dwight thinks he can take that next step into beast mode this year and carry this team to the promise land where big balls harden can come thru in the clutch to snag us a chip or too.. Super stoked for this season What yall think??
I'm all for it and can't wait. If we can get what harden did the last 30 games of the season and dwight from the Portland series, watch out. With that type of play out of both at the same time it's over rockets fans. We'll be the best team in basketball and the new kobe/Shaq. There's a lot of doubt with this team but the talent of our two stars not only meshes but they both posses mvp level of play. Not many teams can say the have one mvp caliber player let alone two. We're in good shape and by mid season media and fans alike will give us our do. Talent wins always in the NBA and I guess many our blinded by the very fact that the rock at have two of not only the most talented players in the league but also ones with unique skills that are not duplicated. No player in the game is like dwight and only LBJ and durant offensively our better than harden.
im not only expecting dwight to have a beast season, im expecting him to have one of his BEST seasons. the nba season cannot come any sooner
First off, Harden's balls shrink in the playoffs. I'm as big a Rocket fan as the next, but let's be honest. Second, I'm skeptical about Howard being a new beast. He's turning the 30 this year and very rarely to people hit their athletic prime at that age. Sure, every once in a while a player has his best year at 30 but, not players that have relied on athleticism their whole career. One would argue Hakeem, but Hakeem was a once in lifetime talent with offensive skill. For the record, I still think Hakeem 92-94 plus 95 playoffs is the best player I've ever seen.
Dwight is the one bright spot. Love guys that compete and put the team on their back, doing whatever they have to do on both ends of the floor.
I'm not worried about Howard at all. If he brings the same level of play that he brought last season, including the playoffs, we'll have a chance. The real question mark is Harden. I'm hoping that he finds a way to up his game in the playoffs. A star of his caliber can't continue to have these sub-par performances in the playoffs. McGrady, for all his faults, was a different guy in the playoffs. If Harden can get to that next gear and Howard plays like he did last year or better, we will be a force to be reckoned with.
Orlando Howard is going to emerge now that he's feeling better since his surgery. Like a wise man once said he's not a 7 footer with foot problems, he's a 6' 10 solid muther trucker. RedNation lessssgooooooo!!!
