Dwight Howard returns to Philips Arena as Hawks welcome Hornets

...as he returns to Philips Arena for the first time as a visitor since the offseason trade, the future Hall of Fame big man will be the focus of the proceedings.

Howard has done Howard things this season, averaging 15.9 points and 12.7 rebounds per game for Charlotte. While his rebounding numbers are identical to his single season in Atlanta, the 32-year-old has been a bigger focus of Charlotte’s offense, seeing an uptick in usage (with a downturn in efficiency) and he seems to be happier as a result.

From a match-up perspective, this is a very winnable game for the home team, as the Hawks very much threatened to steal a win in Charlotte and flashed some increased aptitude in a home win over Minnesota on Monday. Still, there may be a bit of increased attention on this particular contest given the Howard factor and it will be interesting to see how the team responds.

I wonder if Howard will get boos. I'd cheer him. He's not my favorite but he did his thing well here.

I'll cheer for Dwight, at least he didn't trash the fans on his way out.

Let’s punk Howard but take our medicine for the draft.

Hornets 107
Hawks 106

Kemba has our number for sure.
2.5 point spread on the game and Charlotte destroys us.

How was the reception for Dwight. Didn't see the game.
That dunk on muscala took more effort than Dwight exhibited all of last year.

Just like his stint here, meh.
Apparently he had a tribute video that no one, not even Dwight noticed.
