Per the Houston Chronicle:
“I’m just disappointed,” Howard said. “It’s tough to get this far and to lose.”


Howard’s physical play and his dominance in the paint helped keep the Rockets alive, coach Kevin McHale said. “Dwight had a big night for us, 18 and 16, and he fought his way all through the game,” Howard said.



He went through a tumultuous season – missing 41 games with injuries. Two months of that was with edema in his right knee. “Every year is tough,” Howard said. “The injuries were hard, but I never stopped fighting. It’s tough but I wont stop fighting. I will continue to push myself to the limit and remember that no matter how the season ends, I am still a champion. I won’t let anyone tell me different.”

Lol go home Dwight

Unless you've been in prison or combat, you have no idea if you or anyone else is alpha or beta because those distinctions do not exist in society.

Someone dominates someone else in one arena, he/she is the alpha

Those roles could reverse in a completely different situation

That being said, Dwight is a beta compared to his peers. And his "well in my heart I'm a champion" comments only add to that image of him.

it's an easy way to identify you as a particular type of person.

if you stop I might have to read your posts

This is dumb.

Like my Dr Seuss hat is way bigger than all of the other guys'.

i am not a fan of d12 but you've got to either be a hater (lakers fan, free-throw instructor) or a dejected rox fan to be ripping him right now. i thought he played the hand he was dealt well.

the "i'm still a champion" thing sounds ridiculous, sure, but what is he supposed to say and believe? that he can never win? i swear some people just don't understand what it means to be a competitor.

Basically.....

He also put in cheap shots as he was losing. Fuck that guy.

And he's lucky he didn't get ejected for deliberately popping Bogut in the face in Game #4. Which would have lead him to be suspended in Game 5.

He wanted to get ejected. An easy and quick way out of defeat

No arguing that but the series was already over.

But yeah, I know it was.

hurt someone as part of competition, hurt someone as vengeance in a "lose the game but win the fight" kind of way.

i don't really subscribe to either. i like the more subtle, ongoing stay of dirty-ish play than some big moment like howard or horford had. those are counterproductive. i'm also less a fan of injuring people on purpose than i am of slowly sucking away their will to live over the course of a series.

We'll be back next year.
It's all a part of the process.
Nobody said a championship was going to come easy.
Hat's off to Golden State. They were the better team.

Dwight balled out, but let's not act like this isn't silly.

You'll take the 16 and 14 per game he gave all playoffs, yes. Your own team was engaged in a mass effort to fellatiate him to stay, so stop bullshittin.

yeah we did and I've also said he did us a favor by leaving because he's already in decline and will never lead a team anywhere

and they will for the foreseeable future.

Jordan is about to be on his level money wise. For me, that doesnt change my answer, I chose DJ, remember? I been DJ's *only* fan on these boards since going into his draft and I still think he is slept on/unfairly discredited, to be honest.

That said, right today, if I had both guys healthy for one playoff series, I would probably take Dwight. Much longer than that, no question, DJ.

No I aint forget that shit

and that's coming from ME, who everybody here knows aint above gettin greezy

Kobe got bodies.

Those aren't mutually exclusive things
