I was at the game and I'm not sure we were watching the same one. Howard abused everyone who crossed his path. JT, Hawes, Brockman. Only one who stopped him was Donte and that was one play in the entire game and required a double team.
I hardly saw anybody try to front Howard. What I saw was his man allowing him great position, and then one or two help defenders immediately came and most of the time, fouled him.
And most of his trips to the line were from the help defenders. Again, I didn't like their scheme against Dwight that game. Other teams have proven how to limit him. They did a bad job.Seriously, Howard's whole post repertoire was on display today. He went to his right, to his left, an off glass sky hook, finishing things that our bigs are incompetent at doing.
There is no way to sugarcoat it. All of our bigs got murdered.
