@E_Wolf_1: thank god @DwightHoward left LA, now we can go back to winning championships. he will not have 1 ring by the time he retires. #HesTooSoft

Has Howard even announced yet? This clown referring to Dwight as "soft?" How do you a define a guy who can't defend 6-5 Ivy League players?
 
Yup, Wolfie, right, Dwight to Rockets

@SportsCenter: BREAKING: USA Today's @sam_amick is reporting Dwight Howard has agreed to join Houston Rockets.

Wolf is hardly the first, and won't be the last, to call Dwight soft. He's got the body of a superhero and the personality of a 6 year old girl.
 
It's ridiculous. Here's a guy that basically has every NBA team trying to sign him to a max deal and "he's soft?"

Wolf can't defend 6-5 Ivy League players and has no current NBA Max deal offers

Definitely the decision making skills of a 6 year old girl. Dwight will be playing for some team half way through next season before he makes his decision.
 
I never understood all hype around this Dwight Howard decision. He's not the sort of guy who can carry a team, he's not particularly tough. From the Lakers' perspective, I'm not sure he's the sort of guy who could coexist with Kobe -- I doubt Kobe has much respect for that sort of player.

This sort of signing is more about splash than about on-court results, unless Hakeem can perform his voodoo and turn Howard into a monster.

Brook Lopez and Eric Gordon have max deals too. You say a lot of dumb things and then dig in. Incidentally, to say that every team in the league is jocking this kid makes you sound like you don't know what's going on.

I can see why the Howard chatter would get tiresome, but I think you're underrating him as a player. He dragged an extremely one-dimensional Magic team to the finals a few years ago, averaged 21 and 15 in his final year in Orlando, and then took a small step back recovering from back surgery last year and still managed to lead the league in rebounding. He's considered by many to be the most impactful defensive player in the league when healthy, he was the second best player in the league as recently as three years ago, and he doesn't turn 28 until December.

I don't blame him in the least bit for not wanting to play with Kobe and the Lakers - Nash is ancient, he struggled to coexist with Gasol, and he probably doesn't want to spend the next three years on the bubble in the western conference watching a rapidly declining Kobe putting up 25 shots a game. Houston is the perfect fit for him, both in a basketball sense and a lifestyle sense, IMO. Harden is probably one of the most fun guys in the league to play with due to his court vision and feel for the game, they've surrounded him with shooters, and they don't have as many mouths to feed as the Lakers did last season, meaning he can get touches in the post on a consistent basis. He also won't have to deal with the burden of massive media expectations and a spoiled fan base likely to scapegoat him in defeat and glorify Kobe in victory. Sorry, but I see no appealing reason to return to an old, slow-footed Laker team rather than a youthful Rockets team that can space the floor with shooters, establish Dwight early in the game, and allow Harden to win it late.
 
That Magic team was pretty lethal from three. Turkoglu, Lewis, Pietrus, Nelson (even - sigh - Redick from time to time) took turns burying threes to knock out the KG-less Celtics, moreso than Howard dominating. Howard obviously was key to their success occupying defenders, but Perkins did a decent job on him.

I admit I didn't follow the next round when they knocked LeBron's Cavs out - my vague recollection is that Howard killed them inside.

Yeah - next years Rockets team figures to be similarly potent from three with a legitimate superstar in Harden that those Magic teams never had. The identity of that Magic team was certainly created by the three ball, but keep in mind, that team was limited defensively on the perimeter and Howard had to mask a lot of those flaws. He was also a mammoth on the glass (17 rebounds a game in the Boston series) and a force inside against teams devoid of a solid interior defender (26 and 13 against Cleveland).

And BTW, I'm fairly certain Nelson didn't play in that Boston series - he had an injury that kept him out until the NBA finals. I think their PG during the majority of that playoff run was Ray Alston.
 
Nelson played in the finals - the only reason I know is that Fisher hit a tying three in his face in game 3 or 4 and Van Gundy (doing color on tv) lectured "if you're Jameer Nelson, what do you think he's going to do?" That shot came up in various discussions of NBA playoffs clutchness, in the wake of Ray's shot.

But you're right - he didn't play against Boston. I threw him in there figuring he played - although my personal memories of that series were all Hedo and Pietrus making one after another, Davis' game-winner, and Ray frustratingly unable to shake Redick off screens - perhaps a little gassed after the Chicago series, and perhaps just running into younger, fresher legs on someone who knows all the tricks shooters use. Ray did have a good Game 7, but the Cs got buried under a threevalanche.
 
What does he mean by "we can go back to winning championships"? Is he talking about UConn? Houston? LA? If it's option #3, Wolf needs to get his head examined.

Judging by his other tweets he comes across as a Lakers fan.

I've never viewed his Twitter feed, but if he thinks losing Dwight Howard is the road to prosperity, he's nuttier than a Pay Day candy bar.
