who said Dwight Howard was a one-dimensional player and not the best center in the NBA?


They are wrong.

*However, he is the Brian Scalabrine of beard-growing.

ya, but, uh, they're losing.

Dwight Howard is effing incredible.

Cant wait to see him in Purple and Gold in 2012

31 and 8 in the first half. No one else has showed up for Orlando.

Howard finished with 46 and 19. Jameer Nelson had a great second half, but everyone else on the roster scored a total of 20 points. Just 6 players scored for Orlando. Atlanta shot 51% from the field (including a lot of tough jumpers in the first half) and 43% from beyond the arc.

His team lost. Not very valuable apparently.

A statement like that makes me think you're basically retarded when it comes to basketball.

You're right. Take him off that team and they still lose. Just by a lot more. He should be MVP.

The OP didn't claim that he was a valuable player, but only that he isn't a one-dimensional center. You don't score 46 pts and pull down 19 rebounds if you are.

two more turnovers and he would've had a triple double

I couldn't believe Pachulia let Howard punk him like that without doing anything. Zaza is usually pretty gangster out there.

That actually could very well happen.

I do think he is a very valuable player. Unfortunately, basketball is a team sport.

Hedo Turkoglu: 6 points, 5 assists
Brandon Bass: 0 points, 2 rebounds
Jason Richardson: 4 points, 1 rebound
Quenton Richardson: 0 points
Gilbert Arenas: 6 points, 4 assists
JJ Redick: 4 points, 3 rebounds
Ryan Anderson: 0 points, 3 rebounds

Everyone not named Dwight Howard combined for 34% from the field. Everyone except Jameer Nelson and DH combined for 23% from the field and 20 points when they typically combine for 70 ppg.

But yeah, this one is definitely on the guy that doubled his 23 ppg scoring average on 70% shooting plus 19 rebounds.

8 turnovers

Only an idiot would have called Howard one-dimensional. I didn't get to see this game, but from what I read it sounds like ATL took the same approach with Howard that the Bulls did in the regular season. No double teams. Let him do what he can one-on-one but don't let the rest of the Magic beat you. Dwight will put up some monster stats, but it won't be enough to win the game.

heat will dump bosh and howard will move to south beach with lebron...
