I highly doubt Howard plays better defense than Outlaw. Sure, he's experienced, but he is also slow and unathletic. Outlaw rebounded very well at the Fan Fest IMO. Outlaw looked pretty decent on D against LMA.
As a post defender? Howard is undoubtedly better equipped to handle 4s than Travis is. Howard's main limitations are his age and his somewhat limited offensive game at this point of his career. I'm not even saying Travis is a bad player, I'm just increasingly of the opinion that he's not a great fit for this team given his skillset and the role they need him to play.
Gee, I wonder who will be the last player standing....lets save ourselves 40 pages and 6 months... You guys like Brandon Roy

Guys, let's not take the fanfest too seriously? We're championing the stats from that thing like they mean something. I've already said I thought some of the stats were padded. There's no way Rudy had 9 assists.

juwan howard was done being useful with the rockets 3 seasons ago. outlaw has his flaws, but certainly is still a very useful player. Brandon 15 +1 LaMarcus 13 Greg 15 Nic 14 Steve 12 Rudy 10 Andre 7 -1 Juwan 4 Joel 10 Martell 10 Jerryd 10 Cunningham 10

I agree people are so unfair to outlaw and all he does do. I am not saying he should be getting a ton of minutes, but for him to be ousted before Howard or Cunningham is silly. Especially as Kingspeed pointed out, that Cunningham is still at 10 points. Anyway, here you go Brandon 15 LaMarcus 14 + Greg 15 Nic 15 Steve 12 Rudy 10 Andre 7 Juwan 3 - Joel 10 Martell 10 Jerryd 9 Cunningham 10
Cunningham hasn't had a chance to wear out his welcome yet. Travis has (obviously) had more than enough of an opportunity to do so.
he has been here for 6 full seasons, perhaps it's time he tries somewhere else? I'm sure his family would love it if he were on memphis or new orleans

What did Nico do to deserve the title as your "least favorite player?" That's twice in the thread, you've voted him as negative.
It's called having an opinion? No one says you have to agree with me, and everyone elses' votes mitigate mine anyways.
