just like McHale said
this team need to play harder
lazy defense is what kill this team
hardest player is Howard and people want to trade him away

I read it too lazy to really look at the numbers but when I saw this at the end of the article:

Dwight Howard has predictably been a colossal disappointment

He lost me there...Dwight has been the only consistent bright spot for the team this year.
Harden has been horrible but not sure what anyone can do about it and he is not the only one with lazy defense.

Is James Haren again?

And calling Dwight a "colossal disappointment" is just silly.

... Are you people really ignoring Dwight's constant lack of effort on D as well? Watch the hawks game again and tell me he's the only person who plays hard as he watches Horford shoot threes instead of actually closing out. This entire team is a defensive disaster. Doesn't help that the scheme is 5th grade level. As of late Harden has been trying harder on D than Howard outside of the game against the clippers. It's so weird how defensive reputation takes forever to change. People still think Westbrook is a good defender for example. He's not. Dwight has not been good on Defense guys
