Report: The Rockets Are Shopping Dwight Howard
Not really a Woj bomb because it’s kind of obvious—the Rockets are a mess, interim coach J.B. Bickerstaff says they’re a “broken team,” Jason Terry says they don’t like each other—but Yahoo reports that Houston has started calling around the league to find a trade partner for Dwight Howard....

Dwight Howard Blocks The Daylights Out Of Austin Rivers Then Jams It On The Other End
Last week, we showed you a funny little Dwight Howard lowlight reel. It was some deserved shade, but last night he led the Rockets in a rare victory over the Clippers, and more importantly, embarrassed Austin Rivers then jammed it on the other end:...

This Dwight Howard Lowlight Reel Is Very Rude And Very Funny
If not for all the bad vibes coming off the 76ers and Lakers, there’s a good chance that the 12-14 Rockets would be wearing the Saddest Team in the League crown. This team was supposed to be a Western Conference superpower, but their coach has been fired, their superstar often plays like he’s been d...

A Blown Goaltending Call Might Have Cost The Clippers Their Revenge Against The Rockets
With just about a shot clock’s worth of time left in the fourth quarter in last night’s Clippers-Rockets game, Blake Griffin rose and missed a layup that would have tied the game at 107. His follow-up also missed, thanks in part to Dwight Howard tipping it away when it was above the cylinder....

Wacky, Hilarious Guy Dwight Howard Wore A Big Hat To The Astros Game
Poop joke virtuoso Dwight Howard was at last night’s Astros game, wearing a Rockets tank top and—a big cowboy hat??...

Dwight Howard Hung Out With Stranded Rockets Fans
Historic flooding struck the Houston area last night, with many roads becoming impassable and downright dangerous. As the Rockets closed out their Game 4 win around 11 p.m. local time, Toyota Center officials urged fans to remain in the arena for their own safety....

First Quarter Offensive Explosion Propels Rockets Past Warriors
As well as the Warriors played in Game 3, the Rockets played even better in the first quarter of Game 4. Besides James Harden, the Rockets starters are all inconsistent offensive performers. But in the first quarter the Rockets went 17-21, 8-9 from three. James Harden scored “only” 10 of the Rockets...

Report: NBA GMs See No Problem With Hack-A-Shaq
The NBA’s general managers held their annual meeting in Chicago today, and one of the topics discussed was the intentional fouling of bad free throwers, known as Hack-A-Shaq or Hack-A-[Insert Terrible Free Thrower]. CBS’s Ken Berger reports that there was “no overwhelming consensus” from executives ...

Rockets Return The Favor, Whoop The Clippers To Avoid Elimination
With the Grizzlies-Warriors, Wizards-Hawks, and Cavaliers-Bulls (before tonight) series all even at two games a piece, the Rockets-Clippers series was the outlier. The Clippers stomped all over the Rockets in Games 1, 3, and 4, winning by 16, 25, and 33 points. Chris Paul didn’t even play in the fir...

Dwight Howard Mashes His Hand Into Teammate's Crotch

Kevin Garnett Chucks Ball At, Headbutts Dwight Howard
Usually it is Kevin Garnett getting under his opponent's skin. But there is something so profoundly unlikeable about Dwight Howard—see Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, some heckler, and Ice Cube—that the normally cool-and-composed-while-being-a-jerk Garnett absolutely lost it on the play above, chucki...

Report: Dwight Howard's Son Showed Signs Of Abuse, Per Doctor
In August, Dwight Howard's ex-girlfriend went to children's services in Orlando to claim that Howard had used a belt to punish their six-year-old son. Yesterday, it emerged reported that Howard had been cleared after an investigation, but documents obtained today by TMZ indicate that the doctor who ...

Kevin Durant To Dwight Howard: "You're A Pussy"
I don't think you can really call what happened between the Thunder and Rockets last night a "basketball game," what with both teams shooting under 30 percent and the Rockets winning 69-65 (even the mid-90s Knicks would blanch at that score). An ugly game like that tends to breed contempt—both sides...

Kobe To Dwight Howard: "Soft Motherfucker, Bitch-Ass Nigga"
It was plainly clear that Kobe Bryant called Dwight Howard "soft" while shit-talking his former teammate on opening night, but now, thanks to an intrepid Instagram user who was sitting courtside at the game, we know that Kobe also called Dwight a "bitch-ass nigga."...

Kobe And Dwight Howard Talk Shit To Each Other, Get Double Technicals
Dwight Howard left the Lakers a season ago, but because of Kobe Bryant's achilles injury, the two haven't played against each other since their ill-fated partnership blew up in everybody's face. If you thought things between the two were all good, well, you don't know Kobe Bryant very well....

Chandler Parsons Is Probably Thrilled To Be Away From Dwight Howard
First, watch this video of Howard catching up with his old teammate before last night's preseason game....

Game Of Telephone Unfairly Paints Howard And Harden As Bad Teammates
So, what's to blame for a totally innocuous comment by Rockets big man Donatas Motiejunas getting blown up and passed down the grapevine as incriminating evidence that Dwight Howard and James Harden are aloof and alienate the rest of their teammates? Laziness, or malice, or just a really slow news...

Dwight Howard held an actual opinion on something yesterday! It took less than an hour for him to apologize for it....

Dwight Howard Blocks Little Kid; Little Kid Schools Dwight Howard
If you're a small child and you want to go one-on-one with Dwight Howard, now seems to be the time to strike. Previously, we saw him dunk on and block the crap out of a small Wizards fan, and now we have him taking on a pint-sized Kings fan. But this game comes with a surprise ending....
