    Tmac on ESPN saying: Dwight wants the ball more or he won't play much effort on Defense. Harden wants him to shut up and rebound. They don't really like each other.

    Dwight just doesn't understand that he is limited on offense and can't shoot free throws. I'm on James side on this one.

    I'm going to guess Howard didn't tell him this directly

    If we could just fix the freaking depth perception at Toyota Center, all would be well.

    lol

    He's just speculating. He doesn't know that stuff. Howard is getting 7-8 shots a game and almost leading the league in FG%.

    Ariza, Terry, Beverley shot more than him against the Jazz, and Smith shot as many times. That's stupid basketball. The guy should get the ball more often, he is hitting 61% of his shots, they are all hitting less than 45%. This happens all the time. Sometimes Brewer takes more shots than Howard.

    Howard needs to play more pick and roll and we've reduced his post passes too much. He's not great at it, but his success on post possessions still beats Brewer in the halfcourt or Josh Smith heaving it from 3pt range.

    I hate Tmac is contributing to the hatred ESPN and the national media shows towards Dwight. They just don't like Dwight and will keep making the Rockets horrible season about HIM than anybody else. Watching the Rockets, our problems have to do with EVERYBODY

    Harden and Howard want the ball because they see the team struggling and feel it is their duty to be the focal point of the offense. But the offensive system is lacking. And the role players are lacking. And Harden has trust issues (rightfully) that the role players can't pull their weight. And perhaps they are somewhat set up to fail with a non-creative offense. And then it comes back to coaching. Again.

    what I've pretty much figured all along... D12 is #4 ALL TIME in FG% and having the best % of his career THIS YEAR - but gets <9 shots a game...

    Harden and his ball dominance IS the main issue on this team...

    but you guys just go on thinkin he's the mesiah...

    fool's gold stat padder... you'll believe me in 5 years when he's still got nothin but strippers on his fingers...
