Boozer's Season Began In Beijing

From the article, "It was more of a mental thing – more mental preparation for this season than physical - because we never stopped playing. It was great to watch what was going on, to practice against them (his "Redeem Team" teammates) and to learn a great deal."

DWIGHT HOWARD: Dunked with admirable authority against inferior opponents. Played miserable defense...

DWIGHT HOWARD: Dunked with admirable authority against inferior opponents. Played miserable defense and was a liability at the stripe.
GRADE: D-plus

— FOX Sports on MSN - Olympics - Breaking down the road to redemption. Charley Rosen was so disappointed with Dwight Howard's performance in the Olympics that he graded him a D-Plus, the worst grade of any Redeem Teamer. Yes, Rosen rated Howard lower than Carlos Boozer and Michael Redd, who played far fewer minutes. While I think we can all agree that Dwight underwhelmed in Beijing, I think we can also all agree that he did more to secure a gold medal for Team U.S.A. than either Redd or Boozer, and possibly even Jason Kidd.
