Howard does need to control himself a little more but he takes more abuse than anybody in the league. I have a short fuse too and if I got beat down like he does day in and day out I would probably already be out of the league.

He will calm it down some and more than likely won't get more than 2-3 more tech's the rest of the year.

As far as Richardson his numbers have went down from Phoenix but he isn't asked to do as much either. They are very balanced in their scoring with 8 players in double figures a night. But dude is clutch when it comes down to the end of the game, he has hit numerous big shots since he has been there, numerous.

Hedo's numbers have been the same except he has doubled his APG since the trade which should be the case since he touches the ball more, however, he is nowhere near the player he was when he left town. They don't go to him for the big shot anymore.

The only thing that hasn't worked out on the trade front was them getting rid of Gortat, WTF were they thinking.

Howard - 23.1 PPG
Richardson - 16 PPG
Turk - 10 ppg
Red ick - 10.2 ppg
Nelson - 12.6 PPG
Anderson - 10.6 PPG
Bass - 11 PPG
Arenas - 11.5 PPG

So Orlando is very balanced and hopefully can make a run in the playoffs.
