Even when your dominant player is a wing player like Cleveland or LA, it still opens up the floor to have an inside threat. Cleveland's offense is better when Ilgauskas is on the court. The Lakers offense is better when Bynum is doing his thing inside. When teams don't have to respect the inside game, they get up on the shooters and make it that much harder for them. Howard doesn't have to get the ball to get 20 shots a game but when the don't even go inside to him to even be a threat to score, they are going to struggle big time.

Ilgauskus scores at least half of his points on jumpshots, not inside. Howard isnt a very good passer out of the post. The guys game on the offensive end is strictly power and rebounds. The real story shouldnt be if he is correct in his complaint or not. It is him acting selfish by going public instead of airing his gripes in private. There is a reason that during crunch time in the Olympics that Chris Bosh was on the floor and not Howard.
