Howard's Performance?

Recommended Posts

Does anybody worry abuut how Howards offensive performance has dwindled? This guy is the offesive machine of the team. Anyone can speculate whats going on? Is this a matter of confidence or is it the PG's fault?

Fendi, sorry to disagree with oyur theory since at the beginning of the season he had big games even with high turnover games. Something else is going on.

Teams are tripling him faster and he has no moves on the inside. Since he can't shoot the ball from more than 3' from the basket, he cannot score. Plain and simple.

this is the first time this year that I was hoping that the team would not pass it to Howard on the post nothing good was happening for him offensively. The offense needs to be focused around Ariza and Hill not Howard he's not ready and he is holding us back offensively.

I agree with your posts but then why continue with the same offensive strategy that holds back the rest of the team? How long you think it will take him to adjust or will he just become a defensive rebounder with good offensive moves.

well, true. But those games are when he is getting the rebounds. Just like the 1st 2 years of his career. His points mainly came from offensive rebounds. But tonight, he had a poor rebounding performance (comparing it to the usual). Dwight has no decent post game at all, once you shut down his post offense, Dwight forces things - immaturity on offense. He'll get all kinds of turnovers.

I would say his offense is struggling for a couple of reasons. The first is that teams have adjusted to the Magic's inability to shoot the ball from the perimeter. This is why the big guy gets doubled and triple-teamed.

 

The second reason is that when he does get the ball close to the rim, teams are putting him on the line. Until he knocks down the freethrows, teams will use this strategy rather than let him dominant from the paint.
