Dwight Howard's last 4 games

[ronnymac]

26 points 10 boards 10-16 fg
32 points 16 boards 2 blocks 12-18 fg
22 points 10 boards 4 blocks 9-16 fg
21 points 16 boards 7 blocks 9-14 fg

Overall he is averaging 20 points 12 boards and 3 blocks this season on 61 percent from the floor and has led the Rockets resurgence on defense which is the best in the league right now with 91 .6 with the Grizzlies being a close second with 91.7.Most importantly all the games he has played in have resulted in wins and the only loss we've suffered was the one he missed and probably would be 9-0 had he not been sick against the Warriors.

I want to see him PnR every night like he did against the Spurs. It gets him into GREAT rhythm and his hooks start falling in the post.

He's been great. Free throws aside last night.

Should have made him and kobe work or at least kept howard around enough to trade him for another player.

The pick and roll and even the high post players throwing him lobs which he finishes with is. He can actually go up and get those lobs unlike last season where he was limited with his back.

His interior defense is scary again. He not only blocks a gazillion shots again, but he alters and changes shots. There are times this season where the opposing bigs look afraid to shoot the ball or make a move against him.

Teams playing against Dwight shoot 8% less near the rim. Guards drive less, bigs shoot less.

Dwight might have caused MCW to not drive on that last possession because refs allow defenders to get away with murder on the last possession. Instead, he shot a contested jumper.

[ronnymac]

He is easily the best rim protector in the league. Just the fact he is back at the level where he can force teams to revert to jump shooting instead of attacking the paint and having the wing defenders backs had transformed our defense from one of the weakest to one of the best.Healthy Dwight is a monster.

[KobesFinger]

Is that 91.6 the Rockets DRtg or points allowed? Either way thats crazy

[ronnymac]

91.6 is points allowed.Houstons points for is a 10 plus at 101.6 which is the best in the league plus as well.

[Smoke117]

Yeah, he's been a beast. Easily the front runner for MVP right now to me.

This time last season people were calling him a has been on decline street. The fact that he was coming off a career threatening back injury I guess had no bearing in their thought process.

Dwight is a MONSTER. I dunno if anyone here has had a surgery. Even if you recover well it takes a minimum of 6months-1yr for a minor surgery.

Back surgery? Forget about it. A normal human being would be lucky to be as physically capable as before their surgery within 3 years. I'm talking about being able to simply run around quickly. People have no clue how tough that back surgery is.

[Akrazotile]

Not playing with Kobe is like a miracle drug. Somebody should jump on that patent.

And some people don't even realize how serious a back surgery is. When Dwight was with the Lakers, a lot of fans were saying that his game was declining, and they were giving him tons of slack because of that. I even saw some Lakers fans saying he's a worthless piece of crap WHILE he was with the team. I know he had a fair amount bad games as a Laker, but he said he gave it his all. He was supposed to miss at least 2-4 months at the start of the 2012-13 season but played from the start.

I'm just glad he looks like he's healthy now. Looking like the Orlando Dwight more and more every game.

[thefatmiral]

underrated this year. and continuing his elite play from the playoffs last year. I hope he finally gets his mvp

[Fudge]

Best Center in the league.

[stallionaire]

Elite center.

[HylianNightmare]

I hope he keeps it up all season

[Mr Exlax]

No lie he's my glimmer of hope for myself and my recovery from my back surgery I had in March. He's been amazing so far this year.

[MiseryCityTexas]

And you idiots used to always say that Hakeem's teachings weren't helping his game.

[Combat Wombat]

:rolleyes:

It's not Kobe's fault that your acting/modeling career failed before it even started, Chris.

Grow up, you middle-aged virgin.

[red1]

he deserves recognition for his play of late. even in the playoffs last year it is safe to say that harden let him down

It was terrible watching as collective whole bricking shots, turning it over and all the while he was busting his tail to keep us in it.

I don't know if it the dissapointment of last season but even harden is playing good defense with minimual lapses in concentration bonafide good defense. I credit Dwight for that because if you lead by example, everyone will follow and he really has transformed this team that was an utter mess into an actuall defensive team that has guys playing defense as a team. Having Ariza also helps to.
