Yep and will still be at the end of the season when Howard is calling himself a winner when Houston gets eliminated.
If he's not still a top center why is he paid like one?

Put up numbers and have a impact that justifies his salary. That's all we want. He's being paid like Prime Howard. I expect him to play like it.

Dwight is arguably still the best center in the game when healthy
.He just came off of leading his team to the WCF while averaging 17 & 14, while Cousins was home, and Marc Gasol got bounced in the 2nd round.
But keep acting like Dwight isn't a top center

Harden led that team. Memphis nor Sac has that type of player besides their star. The best centers don't average 14 and 14 vs Bogut and company. Especially in the offs.

Marc Gasol shot 37% for the entire series against that same warriors defense when they played in the 2nd round.
Guess he isn't a top center either huh

Dwight Howard is criminally underrated on NT

With your new avy and sig, its even harder to tell than before whether you're serious or not.
I'm going to say that you are on the Dwight thing, but I'm not 100% confident on that.

I'm dead serious.
The guy is corny as hell but he's a great basketball player.

He is but he's not a power player. Physically Howard should dominate in the post. Who's fault is it he has no post game and can't make free throws? His numbers are respectable most nights but ultimately hollow is his impact on the offensive end.

At the end of the day...Dwight is still a first ballot HOF'er. One of the best defensive centers of all time 
20 & 14 Playoff averages
18 & 13 Regular Season average
8X All Star
7X All NBA
3X DPOY
Finals Appearance
3X in the conference finals (we know that matters on NT)
All before the age of 30. Sheesh.

Marc Gasol is 7'2, and supposed to be 10X more skilled offensively than Dwight Howard. Equipped with a jumper to boot. Yet, he shot 37% against the Warriors in the second round.
By the standards you've set, he shouldn't be considered a "top center". According to you.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/psl_finder.cgi?request=1[/QUOTEOkay, Sir Charles.
So basically Dwight just needs to be prime Shaq or Kareem or Wilt, sounds reasonable.
Brah as a Laker fan I can attest to this, he's mentally soft. Dude had one year in Orlando when they went to the finals, but other than that he always shrinks in the playoffs.
A guy like D Howard is supposed to dog the Warriors front court, esp if it means going to the finals. Harden carried that team for half a season, and they weren't noticablly different when he was in there. He's been an underacheiver the past five years and he's only getting older. And that "oh I was injured last year" sob story is getting REALLY old...
Houston and yall injured players I tell ya...ballers need to get off the bbq ribs

Dog it's simple really. When Howard gets the ball in the post he should take it up and score on most NBA players off pure upper body strength. 10 post touches a night. 20 points. Why is that asking to much?
Gasol is shooting jumpers half the time. His percentage vs GS should be lower. Come on man.

Upper body strength =/= touch around the basket.

Post scoring 101 Everybody.
According to the collector, all you have to do is just touch the ball in the post 10X and score 20 points. It's so easy because Dwight is big and strong. All you have to do is turn around and lay it in. FOH
The man averages close to 20ppg for his career with a limited offensive skill set. The hell more you want?

I bring all the thread members out. I make one post and BOOM everyone has a opinion.
All were missing is the troll comment to be thrown my way and the "I'm derailing the NBA thread talking basketball" BS.
Love/Hate relationship. Ha ha ha

I wanted 20 and he gave me 19 and lost by 1. End of discussion. I called it and he proved me right. FACTS B.
