    Dwight Howard Could Make His Return Wednesday in New Orleans

    Whether that helps or hurts the Rockets remains to be seen.

    He could be on a minutes cap in his first couple of games back though.

    Are you insane? This makes the Rockets a championship contender. His the alpha and the omega of the team.

    Well just as a betting theory sometimes this hurts for the first game back but obviously Howard helps and I think the Rockets are the favorite right now to win it all.

    Perfect time to come back. He still has 12 games to get into basketball shape and gel with his team.

    Are YOU insane? I think James Harden is a bit more important to that team than Dwight Howard

    The Western Conference playoffs are gonna be wild! Gonna be top notch entertainment. I'm a Warrior fan and I think they are gonna get beat, but I still think it will be entertaining.

    Howard will put up good numbers sometimes but he is on the downside of an underachieving career. Talks a lot but has never backed it up. Don't see any team winning a title with him as a focal point.

    Just don't see Howard as a winner. Always some type of drama with him. If they were to win, it would be because of Harden and not Howard.

    Howard is more of a problem than a solution...He is the Amare Stoudamire 2.0...Got paid and now could care less about anything but himself. He just doesn't have that drive to be great like LBJ,Kobe,MJ,Duncan,Garnett,Pierce,etc...

    They need his rebounding and rim protection in the playoffs.

    Rockets 12-8 in games this year in which Dwight takes more than 10 shots.

    9-2 in games in which he takes less.

    Does this mean anything?

    No.

    No. Yes
    It means concentrate on the defense and the rebounding, which were the areas Howard was supposed to improve when Rockets first signed him, and leave the scoring to Harden and the others.

    I just see him always being injury prone until he proves me wrong
