Damn dude the hate is strong with you..... you a laker fan or something??

Stick didn't say ANYTHING about Howard and his offensive game..... All he said was he has no excuses because the team around him is loaded offensively..... Nothing about Howard and his offensive skill set, which all basketball fans know is lacking.

Why you feel the need to shit on him the way you did when Howard has 23 points in the first half is just baffling....

(Just scored again, make that 25 )

You comparing a 4 to a 5? Please, nigga. For that matter, the "there" don't mean shit tonight - right "here" his ass is clowning.

WTF you talking about? You comparing a 4 to a 5? GTFOHWTBS. For that matter, I gives a 1/2 fuck about the "there", right "here" his ass is clowning.

Not hating. Me and dwight cool but dude's offense depends on a point guard more than him being a creator. He's a great player overall but his offensive game is off of ball movement and pick and roll.

Tyson Chandler and Deandre Jordan's games are based of pick and rolls. Why aren't those dudes averaging 18/19 points for their career like Dwight? They're just as athletic as Dwight. That's because Dwight can score in the post, those other dudes can't with their back to the basket. Nobody's comparing him to Hakeem but you gotta give dude more credit than that man...

 

[ScottyPiffen745]

its bad tv tho

Yeah he didn't have to cut Chuck off like that. If he's going to do this analyst shit for real, he needs to carry himself better.

Dude lets his obsession with Dwight bring out the moisture in him every time.

 

[Llano]

I kind of agree with Chuck at halftime. Even though Dwight is dominating, the Rockets are just tied Rockets gotta get some fast break points and get Harden involved more.

 

[DAHITMAN]

we need to contain LA too.

 

[RoadRage]

Harden be taking 8 steps when he drive.

 

[Sango]

Shaq spazzin' out

Sounding like he's subliminally trying to get people to believe him that centers are important. Shit, okay, we get it.

its bad tv tho

Exactly.

Problem is Dwight has created people's hatred of him, so although he's balling out someone will always say something about him or Dwight will remind us why he's such a bitch.

LA is money, Lillard is due, second half. Houston better find something else. They not winning two games up north.

 

[DAHITMAN]

Llano i always expressed that the rockets need to trade for LA..

 

[Llano]

Terrible defense by Houston, McHale don't know what the fuck to do with his defensive scheme. As good as LA has been, dude has been open too many times. How do you forget him on the floor. This shit is pissing me off man

 

[code_pirahna]

Yo...McHale might be done.....He is making no adjustments.....

and Harden gotta step up....he is playing like he did in the Finals when he was with the Thunder.....

 

[Llano]

Harden playing like ass this series too. Rockets gonna make a quick exit if dude don't start stepping up.

Your right. DH post game is better than those two but when you break down his career average , break down how he got his. He's a great rebounder and pick and roll guy that will give you flashes of okay post play.

 

[ak_rep]

LA putting on a clinic.

 

[code_pirahna]

LA is killing the Rockets....period....

 

[DAHITMAN]

Harden is choking really bad.

 

[Llano]

Aldridge is killing us gotdamit man it's like he's taking practice shots out there.

 

[Stick2dascript]

Dwights offense sucks. He tries the same move every time he gets on the block. His offense is at its best on the pick and roll but he doesn't have the guard play to make that work constantly. especially against a good defense. Harden don't play defense and overall everyone on that team is still understanding each others game.

In other news spurs should be down 0-2

His offense doesn't suck, for a big man its actually not that bad. He's a 5 not a 4 and he relies heavy on his strength and quickness, he's also 6'9 so he's shorter than most other centers.

He runs well on the fast break and he's a good defender. He's pretty good, like Shaq he relies on his physical play mostly. He ain't the dream.

Hes surrounded with shooters who can drive to the lane. Parsons harden as and lin. He got a better defensive point guard in Beverly as opposed to Nelson.

I think Houston is a bit too iso centric which may hurt his style, like he said he's not getting the ball enough.

Orlando was straight up in then back out, Houston is still adjusting to that.
Give dwight a break though, he's 6 9 bro and plays taller.



You can't name many centers better than dwight in the last 10 years. Remember he turned sorry ass Orlando around and madd them contenders.

Man I went to elementary school with dude. Man he was ass. Not ass but he was raw. Had a nice low post game. Basically just shooting over everyone since he was bigger than everyone. When I saw him at Seagoville he had flourished......at UT he was solid....I NEVER in a million years thought he'd be one of the best 4's in the game. He is. And if Oden and Roy never had the injuries problems.....who knows where his game and the Blazers would be at right now. That shit alone set them back but they're catching up and Lillard developing as fast as he has pushed their progress.

Portland has a dynasty if those dudes dont get hurt.

Skill wise LA is the best power forward in the league

 

[DAHITMAN]

Our power forwards are gawd damn too small to guard his ass.

 

[DAHITMAN]

parsonS!!!!!

 

[Llano]

Both these teams are not the best defensive teams so no lead will be safe this series. It's going to boil down who can can execute better in closing of games.

 

[Llano]

Stupid foul by Howard, I swear he makes some of the dumbest fouls

 

[alexw]

man portland may come out the west

its going to be hard to beat these boys 4 times

they can play inside and out

thats the key to championships

 

[DAHITMAN]

harden

 

[ak_rep]

LA's the best offensive threat in the playoffs. I'm just going to put that out there. Money bags damn near every time.

 

[Llano]

This shit don't look good for the Rockets. Batum playing good defense against Harden and LA is playing out of his mind

thats wishful thinking

the rockets are clearly the inferior team

and if portland wins today (and they should), this series is over

 

[fatsack1]

Lamarcus alridge is like a breath of fresh air.....skilled big man that can play with his back to the basket or face up....old school skilled basketball

Batum an ex rocket draft pick that we should have kept

 

[code_pirahna]

If Houston wins there is a chance that LaMarcus doesn t continue to play THIS well.....

but if they go down 0 - 2....its a wrap.....

i dont see how houston can stop it

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

there's nothing anyone can do about lamarcus in the nba. if he plays with this confidence they can beat anybody period.

2nd unit is the only question mark
