It's weird because I know Howard is a really good player but every time I've seen him this year he hasn 't looked it. How the heck do we manage to hold him down???

Frye was the only person to hold Howard below 20 ( I think he 10 or 12 against us in Vegas) in the summer league as well. I don't know, Frye is competitive. We won't hold howard down for long, I don't think.

I love Howard, he is a beast, but when he has to guard curry, he expends a lot of energy, that is why the magic use battie on curry, which doesn't work either, but for howard, when frye is hitting his shots, that is not a break for him either. Now when Howard gets the ball Vs frye, frye has a lot of length, makes howard takes tough shots, and the same with curry, he can't move curry and has to take tough shots over outstretched arms, right now Howards offensive game is basically, put back dunks, and dunks over passes with the occasional jump hook. Until he rines his offensive game, he is going to struggle vs big and long front lines like the knicks. But he still had 14 boards, I will take that if I were the magic, any day.... Frye, curry and Howard battled hard, and I love seeing that...
