Why does Howard barley shoot?.

James Harden have it all, shooting 37%! (His 3PT% > FG%). 61% TS%; 33% usage

Howard 4th in FGA/G behind Harden, Jones & Ariza.

 

His fg% will rise and his 3pt % will drop. But the TS% is really good.

28 pts on 17 fg is really good.

 

Count his turnovers n FT's

He gets touches, just he's either double teamed, gets it ripped or gets fouled cause they wont allow him easy buckets.

gets more than 20 touches a game

If I remember correctly it took the Rockets Dream teams years to perfect the entry pass. That pass relies on almost telepathic communication between the wing and the center. It can only be perfected with years of work.

 

Howard couldn't beat Philly's double-team. Right now Howard's inefficient post play is slowing down our offense. He needs to swallow his pride and think of team first, let his shots come in the course of the game.

 

Dwight is a turnover machine when he puts the ball on the floor and teams are doubling him when he first starts to dribble in the post

 

Only Answer Necessary. Simple as That..

 

Haters......they gonna.....

 

Dmo and Bev are the only ones that really know how to get the ball to Dwight.

 

He's actually been in attack mode so far this season. I hate watching Harden or Kevin Martin play "lawyer ball" but so far that hasn't been the case at all. He's going to the line because he's been taking it strong to the bucket on every break.

 

Howard never averaged more than 13.4 FGA in a season. His career average is around 11.2, which is right where he is so far this season.

So barley is his diet.

 

if we depend on howard to be our 2nd scoring option, then we're in trouble.....

 

It's a lot like Charles Barley shooting movies, as he was a 1920's German Film star.

 

Huh????

 

If they are doubling Howard that's great. I'd rather see Howard get 5 assists from passing out of doubles than 25 points.

But Howard isn't a go-to guy because of his foul shooting. If he could shot a better percentage, he'd score a lot more and at a higher efficiency.

Until then, this team definitely needs another playmaking scorer.

Part of Zach Lowe's 10 things he likes and hates so far at the bottom of his Thunder article.

I guess some people see the game differently.

 

Being scoffed at for being intelligent, efficient and ages ahead in bball iq, only in Houston...

His free throw production is brilliant... foul trouble and easy high percentage point production...

I love it, been my favorite player before he was ever a rocket. Im so ecstatic i get to witness his greatness in a rox Jersey...
