It’s true controlling blocks can be more effective at times for your team, but think about how many guys miss, rush, or pass up shots or hesitate simply because of the threat of Howard emphatically swatting the ball out of bounds. Nobody wants to get their shot sent 4 rows into the crowd. So there’s a positive and negative to the way Howard blocks shots.

Agreed… he needs to keep these blocks in bounds like the admiral used to do. Hard to have respect for flamboyant players like Dwight.

Could you imagine the fast break points the Magic would have if Howard would just tip, or even palm, these shots.
