Indy5 wrote:What is with your love fest with Howard? You think he is like Shaq in his prime. Be realistic. Howard had one of his best games last night, but he's not that great. He can do two things. 1. Catch it in the middle of the paint and shoot a right handed hook shot. 2. Catch it on the block, spin and dunk. He has struggled against the Celtics because Perkins and Davis are both big and strong to D him up. Where do you see cheapshots?
Crybabies Pierce and Garnett? What are you talking about? I don't think I've ever seen either of them complain about anything. They are both experienced vets who know what it takes to win.

Seriously, why do you love him so much? He has had 2 good games all series. Last night he was pretty good, but only because Perkins got tossed on something totally ridiculous. Big Baby also got a concussion. And Wallace was in foul trouble. So I hope Howard can play well against Marquis Daniels and Sheldon Williams.
Also, he was awful against Charlotte and not spectacular against Atlanta.

I don't see how Perkins and Davis are dirty. Explain this to me. I never see any cheap shots from either of them.

Pierce is such a drama queen. Any time you touch him he acts like he got shot. I don't see him complain much though.
These NBA threads aren't "hot topics" shouldn't they be in the "Sports and Other Things" section?

It's amazing how physical play is called cheap when your team is losing, but yet your team is playing tough when they are just as physical and winning...makes my laugh haha

I don't call him terrible. I see him as what he is. A big, physical brusiser to bang in the paint and block shots, rebound, and dunk. Kind of like Thabeet was at UCONN. You are treating him like he's a mix of Shaq in his prime and Duncan. Howard can score in two ways.
1. Catch it in the mddle of the paint and shoot a right handed hook shot
2. Spin and dunk

What he is is much more than that....a physical specimen for one .... he's full of pizazz, something that will take him along ways in life, and in Basket Ball at the top level....
The NBA is a business, not just a league...and he will be the franchise player where ever he is playing...he has untapped potential, I will agree with you there....but if all you see is a Big Bruiser than you better open both eyes.

I don't see piazz. I see him whine and want every call. And many times in the Charlotte series he would hammer someone, have them call a foul, and then proceed to whine about it like he never touched him.
I will certainly agree that he is a physical specimen, but that doesn't make him Hall of Fame caliber. I honestly don't think he is a top 10 player.

This is way off. Today's NBA is such a guard and forward type of a league. Look at all the top players. LeBron, Kobe, Wade. Top 3 all guard/forward type players. Saying the NBA is the land of giants is like saying the NFL is all about the running game.

The NBA's average height is 6' 7".... I think that qualifies for "land of giants".... I wont switch to football.....but saying that the NBA is "not the land of giants" is like saying, "its real easy to find a great coach for a class B team in ND".
