@derekbodnerIt's simply gotten to the point that, no matter how far you've jumped off Orlando's bandwagon, Howard has separated from every other defender in the league. That includes standout individuals like Milwaukee's Andrew Bogut, Philadelphia's Andre Iguodala and Dallas' Tyson Chandler ... and even the Boston tag team of Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo.

In the last three games had little involvement. Toronto appeared to me blisters on my heels complicated to run. To the following parties was better, but did not increase my minutes. The reappearance of Andre Iguodala, who is playing at high level and is the protagonist, I took some time. What I hope is not happening is that the franchise has decided to give more space to young and less experienced, because that would make me see most of the games from the bench. The relationship and communication with the coach has not changed. I had no problem with it. Beyond this reduction in playing time, I can not complain. I'm not a star and accept the conditions. So far I had more involvement than he expected before the season.
From Nocioni's Spanish Blog on ESPNWe are not going to give anything to forward Andres Nocioni. Instead, we are going to ask him to give some of his intensity and inner fire to his teammates. Once he hits the court, the man is as mean as an angry pit bull, which is surely something this team could use more of.
