    My point was you cannot take a single game as an example to argue "Dwight contests shots". That was a single game dude, and Dwight being lazy in the paint as well as not closing out on shooters have been a noticeable pattern this season, and a lot people have called him out on it.

    His D sucks even on man-to-man defense situation, nor does he rotate quickly at all while playing team defense. All of his defensive stats are career low, and meets the eye-test. His D has deteriorated significantly regardless of defensive flaws of his teammates, and we need to be honest about this.

    oh man, I had to put my coffee down and make sure it didn't come out my nose. priceless. :grin:

    btw, DVauthrin, another awesome post. Your assessment of Dwight's potential to still be useful, albeit not at max money, pretty much accurately describes the role Amar'e Stoudemire is playing right now with the Heat.

    YOLO answer: Dwight had 6 blks in last game tho. So obviously, he must have played great D all season along.

    I have that same exact reaction when Dwight puts up that ugly ass hook shot and looks at his teammates as if it's their fault that he sucks

    Of course that's Dwight fault. Dwight is the cancer, so just his mere presence is enough to brings down his teammates' performance. Just ask Kobe :)

    2015-2016 Houston Rockets

    With Dwight : 28-33

    Without Dwight : 7-4

    We are above .600 without Dwight, and .460 with him playing.

    Your hatred for Howard is unreal and right now you're being the true cancer.

    We get that you don't like Howard... Cool your opinion, but the way you're acting is childish..

    DV was right on point with his assessment of Howard and Harden..

    Your post come from hatred of the man and you're not making any sense and attacking individuals on the board because they don't agree with you is not helping your statement.

    But hey... Each to his own... Howard is not a cancer, Howard is handling the situation the best way he knows how...

    We may not agree with that way, but then again we are not dealing with his situation or the people behind the scenes.

    The only player on the Rockets that is more turnover prone per possession. Guess who?

    Harden TOV%

    Dwight TOV%
