    I am sure there are going to be some heartbreaking games where Hack n' Howard work and he couldn't make the FTs and we ended up losing. So be prepared and embraced yourselves.

    I'm almost surprised the Jazz didn't try it when we made our run in the 4th.

    Howard shot 7/10 tonight so I'm sure that was a big factor

    Official count stands at 2 out of 5 games hack a dwight has been used against us. Portland tried it at around the 2:05 mark a little to late. But was still used.

    I guarantee you that the Lakers employee it against us in this game just to see if they can rattle Dwight early quite possibly.

    The Lakers are so thin on the front line I don't see how they can make it work for any extended period of time. And Howard is hitting 56.5% of his free throws, meaning that he is scoring at a 1.13 PPP clip when at the line.

    9-12 was refreshing.

    but, he needs to do it more consistently.

    no reason he cannot shoot 70% from the FT line. gotta keep working that muscle memory, that's all

    Hack a Dwight has now been used in 3 of 6 games so far. I knew the Lakers would do it just to stick it to Dwight. Lets hope he converts them!

    Dwight's free throw and Harden's defense. Those are the two soft spots to overcome for the Rockets to get to the top all the way.

    And McHale's lack of preparation! That end of game in-bounds pass should have NEVER gone to Dwight Howard. Chandler Parsons and the rest of the team should have known better.

    Howard better learn how to make free throws soon or else he will ride the bench at the end of every game. Some superstar.

    If it's a close game = 99.9%

    I remember Stern talking about how he wanted to get rid of this last year. Of course now that he's on the Rockets it doesn't matter.
