I haven't posted about howard during the game today. Last night against the Cavs he looked fucked in the second half. He's slowing down compared to how he started the season. He's taking longer to make moves, and at the start of the season when he was balling, he would only ever take one dribble. Now he's going for 2 or 3, and getting it ripped away all the time, like last season. I'm guessing he's been putting in some big hours on the practice court to get the team organised since the trade, and its takinga toll (not to mention SVG has been giving him HUGE minutes).
Yes, if they let that in every quarter, it would be. But they didn't let 5 in EVERY quarter, they let 5 in, in a HALF. out of 15 attempts. If they'd have gone 5/5 i would've agreed with you also. But they didn't.
