    Wouldn't surprise me if Dwight decides by himself he's going to sit out a few weeks

    Shades of Omer last year?

    Why did the broadcaster say in the MEM game that Howard was pissed that we traded away Omer? Did anyone of you hear it too?

    If he does this, I'm sure Harden will find a way to tune out also.

    But McHale will still not play Canaan and Daniels.

    Everyone knew Omer was going to be traded. That announcer didn't know what he was talking about.

    Dwight is mentally soft:
    1. We score like 38% off his post ups yet constantly posting up to either get fouled (we know how that will turn out) or miss a right or left hand sweeping hook or layup
    2. Refuses to run pic and roll that will get him more points and rebounds than he can imagine
    3. Get's easily pissed when a defensive mistake is made and doesn't try to help teammates.
    4. Anoying on court foolishness that players are growing tired of. Plays to the crowd not team.

    These are my humble opinions.

    He smiles, goofs around a lot, and generally seems friendly. It is probably because he is neither serious or a thug.

    Or sometimes, out of anger and frustration, you say exactly what you mean. they could have said other things, but instead they went the soft and weak route. Coincidence?

    Perception is not reality.

    Two weeks ago, most of the population thought Bill Cosby was a sweet old man.

    I promise if Dwight walked around with a perpetual frown and never smiled this wouldn't be the perception, the same way everybody thought Robert Parish was the toughest guy in the world based on nothing more than his perpetual scowl as seen on TV.

    I can't think of too many instances of Dwight playing the goofball with 2 minutes left in the fourth and the game on the line.

    Dwight isn't a tough guy. He's not soft either.

    He does not have the mental fortitude to win the chip
