Bc saying Noah is better bc you say so proves a lot.

What exactly can Howard do offensively?

Score. A lot more than Noah.

[BRule]

Score. A lot more than Noah.

BUT HOWARD DUNKS SO IT DOESN'T COUNT!

[thethe]

Score. A lot more than Noah.

How does he score?

[yeezus]

How does he score?

Not to jump in, but why the hell does that matter?
Scoring is scoring. If someone can score effectively, I don't care how it's done.
I'm a big fan of Noah, I like him more than I like Dwight...but Dwight is a better player. I'm not sure how that's debatable.

[BRule]

How does he score?

Explain to me why it matters....the idea is to score, defend and win, right?

[thethe]

Howard's production is a by product okc the offense. Noah is the bulls offense.

[gilesfan]

This is why it's so annoying at times to discuss anything with thethe......"how does he score?"

By putting ball thru basket?

Its easier to stop Howard because his game is limited.

Seriously? You think Noah is a better offensive player than Howard? For real man?

[gilesfan]

Odd since far more of Noahs points are assisted than Howards.. hmmm


"Noah is the offense!"

Despite being at best the 5th best scorer on the team.

[yeezus]

Its easier to stop Howard because his game is limited.

Then how has Noah been stopped more easily for their entire careers?
You believe Noah would score 20+ on the Rockets?
This is among your worst arguments of all time.

Then why can't teams do it? (19 ppg)

The bulls run their offense thru Noah.
So yeah...its pretty clear Noah is a better offensive player. Offense is more than just scoring.

[gilesfan]

If only Howard could shoot from the outside like Noah:

Oh...my god....
Your far-reaching, speculative arguing has reached a new level today.

Then why is Howards usage rate far far superior than Noah's?

Is it really that big of a stretch to say?

With the amount of weapons they have, sure.

Because teams will purposely foul Howard because he is a horrible FT shooter. And Noah isn't looking to shoot, he is looking to pass to his teammates.
