Got this today - from a VERY credible source... He is being patient, but I can tell you he isn't really happy with the Rockets PGs. Wouldn't mind if Rockets look at other options.

He's already complaining? You can't make this shit up, tbh :lol

[Thebesteva]

"Numerous people reporting after game, Dwight went beserk on teammates in the tunnel." After the game he told Sager,"we talked as a team, they messed up, but it happens."

[ElNono]

lmao

[Clipper Nation]

Also from the OP of that thread:

Lin was getting yelled and screamed at by players and then by Assistants all the way to the locker roomThere already seems to be some chemistry/ego issues with the Rockets, tbh, and it sounds like Lin is the scapegoat....

[Robz4000]

:lmao god damn

[ElNono]

Lin is awful... but Dwight knew that going in

[skut_farkus]

Spends more time complaining than practicing ft's :lol

[Thebesteva]

Someone make a new Dwert please with Lin and Harden instead of Kobe

[thunderup]

:lol damn the Lakers dodged a bullet yall

[D-Wade]

Franchise players certainly have the right to demand things. But what franchise player runs away from shooting FTs (with a smile on his face no less).

Im starting to think Howard is a straight up idiot. e continually begs for the ball in the post but turns over every time. Harden is showing no effort whatsoever on defense. Parsons is trying to do too much.

Anyone hear Dwight's post game comments with Craig Sager?

Sager: "What happened on that last play when Blake got open for the three?"

Howard: "We had just talked about it (during timeout) before we got on the court, the guy just messed up on the play. It happens, we just have to come back on the next play."

The guy?

You went from "we" to the "guy"?

Throwing your guy under the bus Dwight?

[elmanutres]

Saw this coming from a mile away. Dwightmare part 3 begins. This time theres a 4 year contract

[Mugen]

:lol Rin didn't miss two ft's and a simple rotation down the stretch tbh.

[thunderup]

Dwert is the biggest and most lethal ego in the league in some time. Even bigger and more disruptive than Kobe's. Talk about cancer. That's all he is. I'm glad my team didn't make a run for him.

[crc21209]

:lol Same shit, different team...

Honestly, just from a physical talent perspective. I always felt the best case scenario for Dwight was going to OKC. That team would be legit at making a run at a few titles. But when you add that Dwight is like the Tito Ortiz of the NBA, he would probably derail the teams chemistry.

[Bynumite]

Like i said before, Dwight laid out the cancer blueprint in Orlando. Now he's going from city to city to grin a lot, spread the word of God, throw teammates under the bus, kill coaches and impregnate as many strippers as humanly possible.

What makes the Dwight story odd for me is what an awesome teammate he appeared to be in 2009. I would have never expected his growth as a player to retard in 2009. Since 09, the guys from his class like Marc Gasol, Durant, Lebron, and Rose have risen to another level. Dwight actually went backwards imo

[racm]

Dwight is a front-runner son, once Hedo and Rashard ran out of PEDs Orlando started to lose

Meltdown on clutch fans forreal

But I mean I'm good, just gotta remember there is 76 more games to be played in the regular season

[Bynumite]

Dave McMenamin @mcten
Dwight Howard: "Our free throws were terrible." He shot 5-for-16 (31.3 pct). Rest of his team shot 28-for-36 (77.8 pct)


Brick12 throwing teammates under the bus... again :lmao

[Bynumite]

On TNT, they showed Howard telling Sager in the locker room that on the last play, "we talked about it, they messed up, it happens..."

I swear this is the same road the Laker fans went through last season. Granted I expect Houston to still be a top 5 WC team, I fully expect Dwight to derail everyone by 2nd year playoffs

Harden has the ref bullshit too, plus his game is just uglier to watch in general IMO. And anybody who wants to be considered a franchise player yet runs away from two fts like a f'n clown is a joke tbh.

Brick12 worked out with Hakeem and McHale during the off-season and that did nothing for his post-game and free throw shooting. As great as Phil is, i don't think he could do anything for the mental midget and cancer that is Dwight Howard imho.

He's had a stroke of bad luck too. Usually guys in his shoes have that 1 team thats interested that is primed to win a championship ie if OKC could afford him right now or Chicago Bulls. Dwight has not had that opportunity which has blown up in his face. To make matters worst, unlike LBJ, Shaq, or other great players leaving their teams and making other franchises instant contenders, Dwight is not a guy who can do that. He cant make a good team great.

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Dwight Howard is like Demarcus Cousins if he was a pussy.

[Indazone]

What a dumbass. He shoots 5-16 from the line and he's pissed off at the PG's? Ok he might have a point with Harden iso-ball shooting 9-24 and Beverly going 1-10. When McHale says the ball gets sticky it's case Harden won't pass the ball to anyone else.

He back pedaled after that comment and said his FT's were the problem in the game. Guy is a cancer

NOTHING is worse that being a teammate of K. Bryant. You're blamed for 100% of the bad, and you get 0% credit for the good. That's the way it is. I'm glad Dwight shut the door in Bryant's face, and for once, Bryant got what he deserved.

Kobe is def not a good teammate, aside from Fisher, Fox, Odom, and Gasol, very few have praised him as a great teammate. Hearing him say he had a different perspective on how Dwight should play is dissapointing because its not Kobe's place to alpha a guy at the level of a Dwight Howard so fast. However, when leashed by Phil Jackson and D. Fish, Kobe is an unbelievable player.

[Trainwreck2100]

Son Kareem said it best "Potential has a shelf life"

He's yet to develop a consistent post game or outside shot. Back in the day even Duncan was garbage from the line but worked his way up to 70%

just because you're a chink Kool it doesn't mean you have to take any possible chance to demonstrate that imho, though I agree with you that DH is overrated. If I remember correct you didn't say no such a negative thing about DH last season when he was still playing in LA, I might be wrong though.

Rin is a flat out scrub tbh. There's a reason why he always has the poorest +/- among players of both teams on the floor imho, and I doubt if he would've had a job in NBA but for the big Asian market behind him.

You may not like Kobe but y'all gotta respect this scrub laker team playing with a chip on their shoulders. They already trolled the clippers and houston:lol their fire reminds me of that Houston team without tmac that won 22 or 21 games in a row.

No... we dodged a carpet bombing. You got Bum Bynum cashing checks talking about retirement and a mental midget in Houston that's too stupid to see it was his free throw shooting that cost his team the game.

[Seventyniner]

Could Dwight just run into the stands or go sit on the bench to avoid being fouled?

Even though Pop does it, intentional fouls away from the ball really are bad for the game like _'Antoni said last year. He really exposed his hypocrisy by doing it himself, but he was right. A team that gets fouled away from the ball like that should have the option of inbounding the ball instead of taking FTs, and there should be a tech against the fouling team for every foul away from the ball starting with the 4th one of each quarter. Fouls away from the ball are rare enough that teams shouldn't hit that limit by accident.

No way. Make your FTs. The Thunder did this to Splitter and he choked in the WCF. Spurs played OKC the following year, 1st game of the season, were down, started to foul Splitter, and he made like 5-6 FTs. Needless to say, OKC stopped fouling him.

These guys are getting paid Millions of dollars to play this game and their JOBS are to practice and improve their games in the offseason and during the season. The NBA doesn't need any pacifying regulations to pamper horrible FT shooters like Dwight.

[DMC]

The NBA is shit right now. It's early, but it sure looks like shit to me. That exhibition last night was like a monkey fucking a greased football, both teams. It was embarrassing to see a team get 54 FTA and still lose a game.

Their jobs are to do what they do, because that's what they were hired for. Anyone who hired Howard thinking he would improve his FT shooting is a fucking idiot.

So when an opposing player catches and fouls him, it's as if he just got served papers to show up in court.

[Vash StampedE]

Fuck Dwight if this is true, putting the blame on Lin. It's obviously Dwight and Beverly's fault in that last play for not switching, not Lin. If this news is true, then this just confirmed the type of player Howard is: a whiny bitch and definitely, a beta.

Warriors would be a better fit (post Harden) because of the shooters and pace they play. he would get big numbers (rebounds blocks and dunks), and he would be playing with high level Ft shooters and another elite defender. Which would allow him to make a more consistent effort on defense. plus he would cover up Lee's atrocious defense.

The fact that THIS Laker team ... where the bench, comprised of cast-offs can outplay the starters consistently ...can beat two of the west supposed best teams ...tells you how subpar the NBA is. And as much as I like Indy ...if no one (hibbert) steps up to support George ... heat will 3 peat. If you had to bet your life-savings how could you bet on ANYONe else?

I think I would take the field because maybe Brooklyn or Chicago can wear them down and Indy finish them off ... but right now It's a heat 3peat and they are not playing that well tbh ... Lebron in COAST mode.

[ambchang]

I am going out on a limb here and say that the Heat will not 3peat. The toil of the last three seasons will catch up to them, and the Heat STILL has a glaring weakness in their game, it's a matter of time before an elite team get enough shots at the Heat and dethrone them, be it Pacers, Bulls, or Spurs.

I said the same. But I just have not been impressed with any contender outside of Indy. I will admit i only have seen the spurs twice and once was without Timmy. But My lack of faith inbthe contenders is why I said what I did ... not because Heat look unbeatable. In fact it is disturbing that the heat are ripe for teh taken, but there isnt anyone to TAKE IT from them.

Bulls look battered from too many minutes and physical play. Rose is still trying to get back to form. Deng is alwys hurt now Noah s too. And boozer is a known choker. His scoring will NOT last ...
Timmy has already missed a game and the Spurs will probably coast at times.
OKC got back Westbrook but Ibaka took a step back.
Brooklyn has a rookie coach and players that could care less until playoffs.
Clips and Rox have flawed bigs around dynamic flopping superstar perimeter (stars) who the HEAT have already proven they can neutralize.

Again, Hibbert has to make a leap for me to be 100% sold on Indy ...

So ho does that leave? Lebron. flanked by a healthy (for now) Wade.



so based on a short sample size only the Pacers are playing significantly better than the Heat. sure chuck is an idiot but it's the other teams that have to prove they can win ..not the heat who have won the past two and have made the finals 3 years runnin'

No doubt so far not too many teams have looked overly impressive, but we are only 5 games in, so there is plenty of time for teams to fine tune.

Bulls are expected to take some time to get back into form, you don't just insert a franchise type player like Rose after an 18 month absence and expect the team to make the finals. Not all players are as versatile and great as the 2008 MVPau.
Timmy's absence was a one game thing because it's early in the season, it wouldn't have happened if it was the playoffs. The bigger question mark is how well could Manu bounce back from last final's atrocity (or does he have anything to bounce back from).
OKC , after the departure of Harden, is pretty much done. Will be a great regular season team, but the lack of offensive structure will kill them in the playoffs.
Brooklyn is a pretender, KG and Pierce are up there in age, the other players are more names than great.
Clips have issues in the inside that will be exploited in the playoffs.
Rox have huge issues to work out, as their defense is just embarrassing, especially the perimeter.

Three legit franchise faces join up and they dominate the league? Add a 4th in Ray Allen and how can you expect anything less? They made the Finals in their first year together. It's what uberteams do. The fact that anyone else can even hang with them at all is surprising, and tells me that some of the guys just coast (wade).

By contrast, the Lakers pick up Howard and Nash, so they had Artest, Nash, Howard, Gasol and Kobe and barely made the playoffs, and got swept when they did. That's why everyone took a huge steamy wet shit on the Lakers, because they were expected to at least make a showing with that roster.

I don't see this argument. Last year was the year for the Heat to go down, with Wade looking so horrible physically and with the Spurs having a cakewalk to the Finals so that they were fully rested and healthy going into the series. Miami may have had that killer regular season, but that means shit when Wade's looking like a TOSB. If we see the same Wade again next playoffs, then yeah, it wouldn't be surprising to see them go down to Indiana who is perfectly constructed to beat them. But otherwise I don't see it. Brooklyn is too old. OKC and Chicago match up horribly against them, and while the Spurs match up well, absolutely everything went right for them health and matchup wise on the way to the Finals, which is a lot to ask again. Plus Danny Green will never shoot like that again. I'd be really surprised to see anyone take them out this season.

Never seen something so pathetic in all my years of watching basketball.


Closest thing I've seen is 6-24 (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/408034-kobe-shoots-624-and-lakers-still-win) in game 7.

"He was always really determined to be more of an offensive player," Bryant said. "Here in Houston he will have more of an opportunity to do that. He always wanted to compete with some of the all-time greats, the [Wilt] Chamberlains, the [Shaquille O'Neals], the Olajuwons. This should be a year where he should be putting up those kind of numbers, 25, 26 points per game."

Holy shit at the gifs on /r/nba of Harden's defense and with that mental midget faggot Howard, these two are my most hated duo in the league. I'm going to love seeing these two cunts fail miserably.

I'm sure Dwight Howard's team is uhappy with giving up a dozen possessions because he makes Shaq look like Dirk Nowinski at the line.

Time has proven what a shitty roster Kobe only one that played at a high level and only Dwight was close to his prime ...silly comparison tbh

Jesus you're ate up with it for Kobe. If you were a HS girl I'd expect your panties are wet.

You had Kobe, Dwight, Pau Gasol, Steve Nash and Ron Artest. Your expectations were through the roof. That's why it was such a big deal that the Lakers shit the bed in the opening round. What was your salary like? 130m? What's the Heat's salary?

Coach is a dumb ass for not benching Howard knowing he'd be hacked

[kamikazi_player]

:lol why are people reacting to this? Just because some guy on clutchfans said he got some "very credible source" doesn't mean that it's true. I want to see some legit article, otherwise it sounds like alot of butthurt dwight howard haters. I dislike Dwight, but I ain't gonna bash him unless I know if the story is true or not.

[Indazone]

Actually, the one guy the Rockets should trade that would increase their defensive ability and also team play immediately is James Harden. This guy thinks he is a baller. He is not. I think how deadly this team would be if we had a prime T-Mac instead of ball hogging, no defense Harden.

This poster summed it up perfectly.

setrue
(http://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/this-weird-on-court-exchange-between-james-harden-and-jeremy-lin/#)It is a bad sign and Lin is already the odd man out through no fault of his making. He is paying the price of McFail' ill conceived offense "system," terrible starting lineup experiments, and his inability to reign in Harden who wants run iso all the time. He wants to be Melo of the west. We all saw how smooth and effective the Rockets offense can be when they move the ball---blowouts. More losses like last night, team chemistry can easily blowup and GM will be looking for a scapegoat to trade....guess who that will be.

Harden = prima donna. Inefficient, lackadaisical defending, 1 trick pony he is.

Because cyberx always breaks shit and works in the Rockets front office IIRC.

[Indazone]

Harden is a great talent but unless he gets his head into playing team ball, this Rockets team is going to be lottery bound. McHale needs to reign in his players and get them to start talking and passing the ball. If Harden starts going off the reservation, bench him. No single player is greater than the team.

The guy works for the Rockets in some capacity, he's legit.

[Venti Quattro]

How do you expect McHale to bench Harden if he couldn't even hold him responsible for blown offensive assignments and bad iso offense?

+ 1000 What do you bet that the Rockets get carved up by the Clippers again tonight because Harden gets screened off and gets lost on defense? Lets see if McHale has addressed these issues or not. My bet is not.

Well, for one he did tell off Lin after the game was over, he did go on to tell Craig Sager his team didnt make free throws when he was the only player to miss most the free throws, and he was visibly upset after the game. He's already acting the same way he did last year 30 games in

To be honest, it's like Dwight is running away from his baby mommas and child support payments.

I can honestly say Howard was my most hated Laker Only Lakers to come close are Luke Walton and Smush Parker. His fake Christian act puts it over the top for me.
