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.

This bytch was catching Asthma attacks and shyt, and the Knicks gave this nikka max money

Lets not act like Dwight wasnt beasting though but I agree

Truthfully I believe that orlando team had a roid problem thats the only sense I could make of Dwights decline, Biogenesis shyt was in the same state....

Jamier Nelson a yolked midget was allegedly connected to anthony Bosch, he also played out his mind playing his career best(Shaky sources but the NBA wont touch this shyt for a reason, when Bosh has outright said NBA players were involved)
Turk balled his ass off, and played the best ball of his career
Lewis popped for Roids by the NBA
Dwight about 25-30 pounds smaller than his Orlando days, and isnt half the player

if i remember correctly rashard lewis was caught up using some sort of performance enhancers, not sure what it was though

He's a basket case.

There isn't a center in the league that doesn't have some glaring flaw. Though i'd take Anthony Davis over Dwight Howard right now.

Hakeem needs to come back and give Dwight some of that strong ass Nigerian daddying

I know enough Nigerians for this to be HILARIOUS

Dog....the way he was watching that soccer game was EXACTLY how my pops used to watch boxing and football. All jittery and jumpy like he was IN the game.

10 Years in the League dawg...it's a wrap for him developing consistent post moves...he's not a fukking rookie

Dwight never had good habits. - Me

DHEA

• Building up the adrenal gland
• Strengthening the immune system
• Slowing natural changes in the body that come with age
• Providing more energy
• Improving mood and memory
• Building up muscle strength

Since DHEA levels decline with age, some researchers speculate that supplementing your body's falling levels of the hormone might help fight aging. And some small studies have reported positive anti-aging effects from the use of DHEA supplements. But a similar number of studies have reported just the opposite.


Once again the dots connect imo, that Biogenesis shyt in Miami, was camouflaged by being sold as a anti-aging clinic.


Until the NBA discloses that biogenesis shyt and who was dirty to the public, players from both Orlando and the Heat is suspect. Those dirty NBA names wont get uncovered until the HGH testing issue comes back to the light, which the players association has tried it's hardest to put the brakes on, they know Pandoras box wil be open...............................

That article from Zach Lowe put Dwight's post up game in perspective.
Here's the key piece:
http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/9997968/the-rockets-approach-nba-finals-worthy
But he's not the same terrifying force he was in Orlando in 2011 and 2012, and that is most obvious on the offensive end. To be blunt: Howard's post game is dead, or at least on life support, and if it doesn't recover, the Rockets run the serious risk of wasting a dozen possessions per game in order to keep the big fella happy. Howard has shot 20-of-60, or 33 percent, on post-up attempts this season, per Synergy Sports. That would have ranked 88th out of 92 players who recorded at least 75 post-up plays last season. He has turned over the ball on an astonishing 24 percent of his post-up chances this season, per Synergy. That would have ranked last among those 92 players last season.

This is not a startling trend. Here are Howard's post-up numbers for the preceding three seasons:

2010-11: 50.6 percent shooting, 14.5 percent turnover rate

2011-12: 49.9 percent shooting, 13.6 percent turnover rate

2012-13: 44.5 percent shooting, 18.2 percent turnover rate

Dwight is shooting 33% out of the post this season, which is shockingly horrendous even given my low expectations. He has turned the ball over 25% of the times he has had the ball in the post. The back surgery changed the entire game for him. I had the same surgery, it curbs your athleticism, and there's an adjustment period during which your instincts are at odds with your limitations. He has to completely reinvent his approach at the offensive end or it'll stay ugly for him.

We talked about it on the podcast we did last night: http://www.thecoli.com/threads/walt...-cam-the-n-word-choppa-suits-and-more.165826/

Charles made a point on TNT whereas he said Olajuwon is a great Ayer but the wrong type of mentor for Dwight. He said not because if Dwight but because of Olajuwon was a unique player and no other big man will be able to pay like do. What dwightbneed did with his footwork was shyt that only guards/perimeter do. I don't even listento ppl when they get mad at Dwight's cuz he bring trained by he best big man of all time because I know ain't no way on hell he's gong to come close to doing what dream did on the court. I wonder what Mchale doing with him.

That's the problem. Dwight has the athleticism but lacks the instincts, footwork, and knowledge of the better post players. So they all see his crazy athleticism and think he should be doing more in the post. But he lacks the fluidity of a lot of the older post players and lacks the core strength. He has all the muscles but as we all know muscles don't show you strength. He's more of a rich man's Kevin Willis on offense.
