I didn't read the board much in the off-season, but I'm surprised by all the "Howard is the most overhyped player ever," chatter I see thus far this year.  The last I recall when the season ended the board had about 75% of people saying he could never play D1, and 25% said he was decent enough, maybe more.  Whatever happened this summer to build him up must have been fantastically bizarre reading.

He's kind of where I expected him to be - a tad disappointing in some games, as Bilas and everyone else that has watched all of our games has mentioned he's fallen apart against better teams, but today he was just freaking abysmal and that was against very little pressure D.  I'm not sure what's happened - he doesn't seem to read and deliver sharp passes so much as he seemed to do instinctively at times last year.  Maybe we have less dynamic players so we're not getting good movement?  Who knows. He sucked, sucked, sucked today though.

I have no idea what that was - and oddly, I felt like JB gave him a longer leash than normal, and I thought he was worse today than against SC and some other teams he really faltered against.

I don't envy JB with the rotation this year, not sure what I would do, but I'm not sure what's going on.  I would sit White some more when he's gone cold, I would sit everyone today that thought taking a shot before Lydon touched the small was a terribly smart play.

I'm talking to you Gillon and Thompson.  Dear god......calm yourselves down, one guy on the court is shooting 99.999999% from the field, you might want to at least get him a touch before you fire off a shot you've already missed a handful of times today.
