Dwight Howard: "I have to demand the ball"

[Dwight Howard]

After making just 9 of 21 shots with a 1 of 6 start on Sunday, he said he needs to demand more touches inside.

“We have to play inside out, play their bigs and make it a long night for those guys,” Howard said. “I have to demand the ball, get it and go to work.”

...Once again, and I hate to keep hammering this, but Howard is infinitely better in the pick and roll than in the post. In the post this season Howard scored .751 points per possession. That's horrible, 29th percentile. In the pick and roll, Howard scored 1.28 points per possession, 96th percentile. I don't know how else to put this.

Dwight just doesnt get it

this clown said the same thing last year

Lopez is going to play good defense and be called for fouls while Howard locks his arms or punches him before touching the ball and the refs won't call no offensive fouls

saying it for a play off game is different than for season games..

it means he is willing to draw fouls.. i think its a great idea...

now.. lets wait and see the execution

This is why I've been so critical of the retard since the Magic days. He's fukking delusional.

No, he does not. He needs to get the ball on the move to the basket, out of a pick-n-roll preferrably.

He does NOT need to post up because hes just not that good at it.

Dwight in the post > Harden 3pt/layup = flop

Dwight isnt healthy enough to be demanding shyt when he has a healthy Harden and supporting cast around him. He's still not 100% from that back injury. Just take a back seat and contribute the best you can until you're 100%

His back might never be 100%

You're right. But he can still strenghten it some more. I could see it from the way he moves he's nowhere near as agile as he once was. Back injuries are no joke brehs. My dad had to get a disk replaced and was never the same. I had sciatica problems years ago and havent been the same since.
