    Was excited he came, but deep down I knew he was never going to be that younger magic Dwight, I think we had to high expectations no hating but just get ready for a declining Howard for 4 more years

    You picked an odd game to make this thread after. Dwight looked fantastic tonight. Just didn't get the ball nearly enough.

    He's going to catch a few alleys, get you blocks that make you say YES Howard, and feel good he is here, but don't have championship expectations by having him part of your team

    He didn't even get the ball the 2nd half, not sure how you expect him to look like Orlando Dwight when we don't even give him the ball, FFS.

    Dwight Howard with his flaws is still the top center in the league. He is not being properly utilized right now and not getting enough touches in ideal spots on the floor. The lobs thrown to him tonight were better. Howard will never be a player like Shaq (the player most people compare him to). Howard's offense has never been about that much skill but freakish athleticism. He looks more explosive so far than he did last year, again he's just not being utilized like he should consistently. Also playing along side Asik is messing with his game as well.

    He has had his chances with the ball and no need to cry about getting the ba Blake blocked him out on boards and Bev out hussled him on some, he has to get those rebounds put them back figure out a way to help his team even when the ball is not in his hands.

    The GARM is horrible smh. Next time Dwight puts together a string of great games there's gonna be threads saying how he's a top center of all time...

    Why is every post of yours so annoyingly negative to Harden and Howard?

    Yall...what you see is what you get with Dwight. Don't expect him to start doing post moves or shooting better FTs.

    He's coming off a back injury and he's still not a 100% and he's in a new system (if you could call it that). Give him a break.

    He's still a great center, but he's nowhere near the athlete he was in Orlando. I mean it's not even remotely close.

    How many chances? Like 3?

    Your posts aren't coherent at all man. We struggled offensively tonight, not defensively. How does he help the team offensively when we don't pass him the ball?

    -You can't rely on him in the 4th
    -He was never that good of an offensive player

    It would be nice to give him a chance in the 4th.

    Are you being serious? Or just high?

    NOT EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE? Damn. Go watch a game or two. He still can jump with his head at rim level, he's still pretty darn fast. How can you say not even remotely close? Kaman is not even remotely close.

    Clutchfans at its best... SMH
