And that was mostly putbacks and him getting lobs. That nikka wasn't putting up them numbers with his post game. Craziest fukking thing is that his offensive game has improved since then. People forget just how bad he actually was. Pau Gasol virtually shut that nikka down in the finals.

Shiet, Gasol shut him down two weeks ago when the Lakers played the Rockets too.

No he wasn't. That team was fukked up because they basically had Dwight and a ton of bad contracts that they had trouble getting rid of at the time.

once the lakers took him out the finals he hasnt been the same

he is not a offensive player why wont people get that through their heads

He is a little bit better than ben wallace, maybe just as good seeing as ben never forced his offense

I don't recall Tyson Chandler constantly bytching about post touches and not playing hard when he didn't get his way. Chandler also never shot below 50% from the line multiple seasons.

Valid. Tyson never lead the league in rebounds or won DPOY or functioned as "The Man" on a team either. Point is the role the Tyson played in that Mavs championship is much closer to what Dwight can do for you than the role Shaq played in the 3peat or Dream played in his titles. I and many others were clearly mistaken.

Naw this nikka was beasting the year Orlando went to the finals, which is why the Dwight of now is head scratching :mindblown:


Either Van Gundy or Kobe snatched this bytch nikka soul along the way

He beasted against a KGless Celtics squad that still took him to 7 and looked like Wilt against the :flabbynsick: all-stars of Cleveland's front line. When he got to Finals against that Lakers frontline he looked a lot like he does now.

You are right but him and his "camp" will never accept that. Everyone wants this guy to be a offensive player but he is not one. He's not a natural offensive player. If he would embrace it and get his Bill Russell on then he would be incredible..

Bill Russell was a great passer and capable of scoring when his team needed him to. He didn't score because it wasn't a priority for him. Dwight doesn't score because he's just not good at it.

Yes he was...he's only been exposed since he left.

I always thought he and Shaq need to stop actin like bytches and work with each other. The "Dream Shake" is cool, but if you're as strong and athletic as Howard, he needs to study what Shaq did IMO. Do that quick spin as soon as he feels contact and bang on people. Find a way to hit a baby hook with either hand and get Mchale to show you some up and unders to use. Then continue to bang on people. Dwight looks like an athletic version of Dikembe on the block, too mechanical. You can almost hear the him going thru the moves in his head like he's playin Mortal Kombat for the first time. shyt is frustrating to watch at times.

Tyson won DPOY during the 2012 season....Dwight complained about it afterwards (and rightfully so)

he was in a small market, playing in the east, and there was no pressure
Click to expand...

From a psychological and Image standpoint it was best for him, but that team was fukked because of all thos bad deals (many of which he apparently requested).

As it is he's already not facing much scrutiny in Houston. He's getting some flack, but not like he did when he was in L.A.
