    If you mean this is his team meaning he should be the leader, then I agree completely. He's been in the league the longest and has been to the finals. He needs to step up and be that guy.

    The game goes both ways.....Bev had 12 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists. Lin had 34 points, 12 assists, and 5 rebounds....this probably surpasses Kobe's game don't you think?:grin:

    Can someone plz answer this for me:

    Why is it when DH goes into beast mode and backs down his defender, bulls his way to the basket with a slight lowering of the shoulder resulting in a thunderous in your face dunk - the refs blow whistle?

    I'm trying to be objective here, but all I see is 280 pound opposing centers getting dominated so they flop/get bailed out. I mean is this league really all about the Euro-center shooting 3s, mid-range jumpers, and facing up defenders for a clumsy crossover move for a layup?:rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I've seen DH get called twice for this and it really is BS.

    Smart team will always make Houston pay for having Howard on the team. His poor FTs probably has loss more games for Houston than Harden's and/or Lin's lackluster D and TOs.

    If it were up to me, 'hack-a-center' would result in 2 FTs and possession back to the team that got hacked. What a girly way to play a Man's game.

    I hope DH improves to 65% FT shooting.

    I know it's infuriating. Shaq did this all the time and it was never called.

    I feel the same way....it's call strategy by some, but I feel it's just poor sports...almost like cheating but it's legal so you just have to deal with it. There is no hope for improving...same as his post moves.:grin:

    It actually has been the TT that has us so luggish and playing poor defense and don't get me started on other players.
