I think he defense was solid, too; I don't remember any glaring times when he got blown by. He did fail to stick a hand in a player's face and allowed a couple jumpers. I think overall, for a team missing Dirk, he provided some critical scoring, mainly by getting in the paint.

Oh, I know Howard gave us some much-needed scoring in the second half. That post was mainly in response to the contested jumpshot he took in OT with us down 6, I believe, coming off the screen. I dunno. That's a good shot if you're Dirk Nowitzki or pre-December 2009 Jason Terry. Not Josh Howard.
