This is sort of what I've been hoping Josh would wake up to.
Quote:
But in the last five games -- the first four without Dirk Nowitzki -- Howard has averaged 30.2 points and 7.2 rebounds.
"I'm trying to stay aggressive, that's all I can do," Howard said. "My teammates look to me as one of the top guys on the team. I have to take that into consideration. I'm not a rookie anymore; I've been around long enough."

It IS his responsibility for what happens on the team and he needs to act like it is, not dissappear for a half because dirk's out there. He's got to be aggressive the whole game. He no longer is a sidekick or a second bannana, he needs to feel personally responsible for the outcomes.
