He said "defensively". Overall defensive impact Dwight vs. Dooling it ain't even close. On top of that, when Dwight is on his game defensively there may be about 2 other centers who can hang with him. Keyon has never enjoyed such exclusivity among perimeter defenders. Keyon's very good when he is at his best, but I would never consider him among the greatest in the league for perimeter defense.

"Coach said what he had to say. He felt I wasn't focused in the right areas," Howard said. "So I just came back and played as hard as I could.

"Knowing Stan, the main thing is that he's not going to let me be mediocre. He's going to continue to push me every day to get better. I don't fault Stan for what he did; he just wants to see the best out of me."

Bogans hasent been even close shooting the ball for a while. He had atleast 2 airballs, and several bad misses. Side of the rim misses.

It was a nice win last night and a way to go into the All-Star break on a good note.

Bogans looked horrible offensively.

2 airballs. Ouch.

My point was more about effort. Keyon is not only a very good defender but he never stops playing defense either. Dwight does stop, pretty frequently.

good game, Dwights response was all you can expect from this guy. He's a class act. Rashard steped up to the plate and played like i think he will for the rest of the season. He doesnt gotta do it all but just when turk isnt on fire he can take over and drive for another reverse jam.. GOOD GAME! :clap: :clap:

The thing with Rashard is we really need to be playing him at SF. After watching the game on my dvr I can say that when Rashard is able to set up on the perimeter and drive or shoot he plays great, and he was able to do that playing SF.

Hopefully Stan realizes this and we see more Brian Cook on the floor to allow Rashard to play his more natural position.
