but howard is quicker (whole lot quicker) on defense rotation
whenever yao got switch to a pf or whoever yao is too slow to defend
howard still can cover the pf or sf or whoever
but tmac didnt' get along with anyone. He hated Battier and Ming. He is not better overall because of this.
Harden is also very consistent. Looks like he's not even trying but you look up and it's 25 and 6 dimes on 17FGA every game.
Harden is much better in the open court on the break.
Howard doesn't get the credit he deserves for his post up game. He's great in the traditional postup and and has a nice drop step baseline then jam. Also he's one of the best in the flash post game. (and I'm not talking about pnr)..
When a player drives inside and gets to the lane and scores on the Rockets it's a lot due to Howard. Because the opposing center can't come off of him an inch, because it will be a lob or offensive rebound dunk virtually everytime. This is actually post up game as well. Cause sometimes Parsons will drive in a little ways, draw the center from Howard and he'll throw the quick lob above Howard who is always ready. Howard will catch and Jam... This is a post up game.
t-mac get along with everyone just fine
where did you get he didn't get along with yao and battier?
t-mac and yao hang out in china while t-mac was playing in cba
you don't see them as close as this team right now
because back then there is no twitter, instagram, social stuff so you just don't know about it
you are the first person i hear from that t-mac is not a better all around player than haren
t-mac play on both side on the floor
he is our best play maker (imho i think he is better playmaker than haren, haren just playing for the assist number, he is not moving the ball fast enough)
he is our best wing defender (yes he is better than battier, just that he has to save energy on offense, so he can't defend on every position)
just haren flopping alone is enough to get t-mac ahead of him as a better player
