    Default Olajuwon has created a monster.

    Anyone watch Howard toy with Yao. Howard has now developed an damn good offensive arsenal of post moves and a seemingly solid jumpshot. He made some really nifty baby hooks and spin moves all over Yao. All he needed was a offensive arsenal of moves to be a top 3 player in this league and now he has it.

    Gotta do it night in and night out and not just in a pre-season game against a guy who is going easy because he hasn't played in a year.

    He also did it against Hill and Hayes who is one of the best post defenders in the league. Howards post game is for real. with his Size, agility and first step noone in this league can even dream of stopping him from here on. This shows how good the dream really was

    He also worked with a "mystery mentor". Perhaps Shaq?

    I'd like to hope that he has gotten better but in the playoffs is where he'll need to show his improved post game.

    While Hill and Hayes might be venerable post defenders they aren't comparable to Perk/KG and Gasol/Bynum.

    As i said RG, you must be burning that Yao got pulled down and taught a lesson by Howard. Considering you're mere exsistence is based on proving Yao>Dwight.

    Exactly.
    What the f*ck is this shit? How about we wait a little longer before ZOMGing and deciding to make a thread, 1 preseason game doesn't cut it. FTR I think Dwight has been a top 3 player in the league for quite some time now.

    He also did it against Hill and Hayes who is one of the best post defenders in the league.
    Howard has always toyed with C. Hayes, he was beasting on him last year too. I want D. Howard to improve but lets not overreact to one first pre-season game.

    I think he'll do it and do it well. He looks alot better on offense.

    He didn’t say it, but he understood that he was part of the problem. That’s why this summer, Howard sought out some of the greatest ever to play — Hakeem Olajuwon, Karl Malone, and a mystery mentor he refused to name — to get advice on how to get past this hurdle.
    Mystery mentor could be KAJ. He probably doesn't want to name him since hes a paid Lakers assistant.

    Yao right now can't guard a manikin, dude has two left feet and can't move laterally. Hayes aint got the hops to keep up with him.. until he does thi against jason maxiel, i'll assume it's one of those games that he shows flashes of what he's been working on but can't do them consistently over a period of time.. e.g Magic vs the lakers regular season game in staples last season. dude was making all shots off the glass. i haven't seen him do that eversince. we'll wait and see.
