He does have some efficient post moves, but the problem is that they're way too few, he has to be way too close to the basket to execute them, and asKareem pointed out, way too predictable.
Dwight is starting to look like his offensive game is permanently raw.

I agree about the defense part. I think Gortat is most certainly a better post up defender than Howard. Pau seems to have alot more trouble withGortat than howard.

he has zero touch. that's his biggest problem. forget footwork for now.
that running hook he has is awful, comes off the palm of his hand

This is definitely a fake tweet though. He never wrote that.

so anytime Dwight gets the ball and isn't right under the basket, he is supposed to pass the ball back out? that makes him a huge offensiveliability for his team.
he needs to be a guy that can get the ball on the block and go to work. if Orlando needs a crucial bucket, they should be able to rely on Howard as anautomatic bucket or a foul every time.
when Dwight is ineffective in the post, you notice that teams will stop doubling/tripling down on him which hurts Orlando's perimeter game.

^^ yeah but they still are doubling/triple teaming him... so that must mean that he is STILL doing something right... while he still has the power to beast lethim go all out... and when his strength is not all there... then he should be worried... people act like shaq had amazing foot work when he came into theleague... he was doing damn near the same thing as howard is... it wasnt til later in his career that he got that hook shot down to a science... jordan used tojust leap over people, shoot or dunk... when his legs werent as strong... he depended on a turn around fade away... im not saying he shouldnt learn more postmoves... but he is doing what works for him at the moment and it does produce...

You're right. Dwight's a better weakside defender though.

Shaq came into the league w/ moves and at least a basic skillset.

1. I have seen every minute of these finals.
2. Its proves nothing but your arrogance.
3. Footwork is irrelevant Shaq had the touch and feel around the hoop that only the greats posses, it's something that can't be tough or learned andit's something that Dwight Howard does not have. Not to mention an acute sense of how to use his size and bulk to create space and get his shot off anotherHoward and his contested runnings hooks have not displayed.

Marcin Gortant gives up 1 fewer point than Dwight Howard does defensivly over their entire playoff run despite the fact that Howard is a better shot blocker.

Seems to me that Shaq's bitterness toward Dwight started this year after he got accused of flopping in a game between the Magic and Suns. This was aroundthe same time he dubbed Stan Van Gundy the "master of panic." I'm think they were cool before that. I remember some clips from all-starpractice a few years ago showing Shaq and Dwight clowing around together, having a dance off or something.
People need to just brush off stuff like this from Shaq. He's got to be one of the most insecure people I've ever observed, which is what fuels mostof his attacks on competitors. It is what it is and is not likely to change.
