[SI] Humbled Dwight Howard ready to make 'ultimate sacrifice' for Rockets

When I saw Josh and Dwight run the 4/5 PnR for a lob slam, all I could say is

RUN IT AGAIN!

 

Is he going to cut off his manhood?

Howard

 

We may be able to overlap Dwight and Smoove some in the playoffs but it's very important that at least one of them be on the city for all 48 minutes or at least until the game is decided. They are the best anchors we have. So when Dwight sits, Smoove for sure needs to be in the at the 5.

 

I think Dwight is the key to beating the crap out of Golden State
He will need to crush Bogut over and over and over again
Destroying them inside is key imo

Rocket River

 

So....that didn't really happen much today. Whole lot of post touches, but he boarded and played defense, so I'm cool with it. It was annoying not seeing much Harden-Howard pick and roll, though. It was so good against the Timberwolves but then it didn't really happen at all today.

 

It was the way the Wiz were defending it. They were shading to Harden, but not doubling him, and they weren't leaving Howard. We tried some 4/5 PnR and it didn't work.

 

Great but why not take a backseat to the likes of Donut or Jones offensively as well when Harden is on the bench resting?

As of now those could be better on that particular end.

 

I think that was mainly due to the fact that Howard and Harden were hardly on the floor together in the game today.

 

saw the title and thought it was regarding losing his knee

 

So how do people feel about Howard so far, has he made sacrifices? Has he been more serious and does he seem more committed? I have to say partly yes, but partly no. I've seen him way more involved in solid pick and roll plays, but he's still not committed during warm-ups, shooting threes and shooting half court shots.

 

Im not sure why what he does outside the 48 minutes of a games matters so much to people..
