All About Josh Howard..

What is there to say? this guy was once considered an All-star an up until few months ago he was playing like it.
But Josh Howard fell apart right when the team needed him, well maybe not right away, when Dirk first went down with his injury I knew the season was over for the Mavs, because no one else would be able to step up, and Josh Howard broke a record! by performing like a true all-star Josh made me happy for the first time that I was wrong about something, perhaps not a credible enough record for some, but for me, good enough.

Josh Howard put the team on his bad back in the absence of Dirk and delivered like a champ, fans were getting excited finally about this Kidd trade, because things were starting to look up, Dirk was walking around without the boot, Jason Kidd was actually proving himself worthy in Dirk's absence, Eddie Jones started playing again, and with FIRE!! and Josh Howard was back to his old self, driving the ball and dunking on everybody!

sadly, it was short lived. once Dirk came back, J-ho disappeared again.

Sure, he's had a tough season, all the guys have.
Josh lost his mentor earlier this year, his grandmother who raised him, and his best friend and team mate Devin Harris in the second coming of Jason Kidd, but whoever told Josh that playing in the NBA would be a breeze lied, and he's finding out the hard way, unfortunately the team is suffering as he learns.

So Josh Howard if you can bring back the real J-ho, who averaged 19.9 ppg 7.0 reb 2.2 apg, stop talking about marijuana, stop partying during the play offs and concentrate on playing on another level, than I can't think of a reason why you shouldn't be back in the number 5 jersey in October.
