HOUSTON – Despite popular opinion, the Mavericks can dispel one myth about Dwight Howard.
“He’s not the strongest guy in the league,” Amar’e Stoudemire said Tuesday.
Stoudemire listed Minnesota’s Nikola Pekovic as his vote for the NBA’s strongest player in the paint, but saying that it’s not Howard was a bit surprising, particularly after Howard had said earlier that he was going to have to scale back his physical play to avoid foul trouble.
It’s all part of the mind games that go on in every playoff series.
Howard started Tuesday by saying he thought the Mavericks try to bait him into being physical and creating fouls, which is why he said he would keep a handle on his physical style after he played just 17 minutes in Game 1 because of foul trouble.
