NBA:I had an argument with someone regarding?

He obviously doesnt watch Dwight. Dwight improved his post game greatly. He worked with all time greats Hakeem Olajuwan and the Magic assistant head coach Patrick Ewing. He also worked on a faceup jumper. Its not great yet but he improved a LOT. He also got a lot more serious about basketball- he decided to stop clowning around. What is your friend talking about? No touch around the rim? He hits all kinds of layups and led the league in dunks. The Hawks put a big, strong defender on Howard who definitely slowed him down. Collins is a pretty good defender. Howard even said Collins and the Hawks were the biggest problem for him because Collins is strong and could play him one on one so he couldnt kick the ball out for threes. Howard didnt even struggle. He averaged 32 points and 17 eebounds against the Hawks, the perimeter guys were not open. Dwight is strong- not exactly a bodybuilder. His strength makes him better in the post. No, he isnt too great at free throws, but he improved on that too. He also didnt get enough rest because Otis Smith traded away the Magics back up center, Marcin Gortat, so Im definitely not suprised he was missing a few easy layups or some free throws. He started hitting his free throws late in the season and in the playoffs, started shooting about 70%. Show this to your friend, because it is all true. Losing was NOT Howards fault, and he isnt overrated. If he leaves Orlando, the Magic will drop, probably out of the playoffs.
