All he would do is beat Z down the court. Get position under the hoop and he was too fast and strong for Z. So a simple lay-up or dunk was all thats required.
I'd love Howard on my team. I'd love him even more if he learn some moves in the post. If I was content with getting to the finals, sure I'd take Howard as is.
But according to you, Howard = Kareem on the block, VC = Drexler and Lee + Turk = scrubs.

He might work on it, he just may not have the ability to develop a Duncan like post game. This offseason will tell the tale. This is the first offseason he's had in a long time to just sit back and work on his game. Knowing how poorly he played in the finals and what he has to work on, I'm expecting a lot of improvement. If he doesn't show it, he probably never will.
at people for getting on my case for "hating" on Shaq because he's "still a decent player" and then spending an entire two pages ripping Howard. Awesome.

Don't put words in my mouth. I never once said that he was Kareem on the block or anything near it. I've been plenty critical myself of Howard in the past when he's had bad games offensively. All I said is that he has SOME moves, not that he's McHale in the post.
That's all I ever said and I got jumped on. I'm not trying to make Dwight out to be something that he's not, but he does have some moves, no matter how ugly or pretty they may be.
Well I never said I hated Howard. You put those words in my mouth because I didn't agree that Howard had a post game and added an ad hominem attack involving me being a Raptor fan.
You're taking the term "howard has no post game" too literally. No that he has SOME moves, but those moves are limited and not even well developed. It's not insulting to point out that most of his scoring comes off dunks/putbacks/alley-oops. In fact, it just highlights how athletically gifted he is (and his good instincts).
We're saying that if Howard develops his post game, he'll be the best bigman in the NBA by a far margin.
I'm tired of arguing. It's pointless.
I don't dislike Howard, and you're acting as if you've seen him work some secret post moves that no one else has seen.
It's a well known fact that Howard has an extremely limited and unpolished post game. He has bad footwork, erratic and line-drive hookshots, and no jump shot.
You're ability to offer objective basketball takes has obviously been compromised due to your emotional instability and homerism. Good day.
The way others are talking makes him sound like he's Shawn Bradley when he has the ball. That isn't the case.
For a moment there, I thought duncan228 was actually going to state his opinion.

Dwight Howard's finals performance is all that needs to be mentioned. He's overrated. Period.
